For those that want chip to stay what price would you be willing to pay per year and for how long to keep him. I dont see him being worth more than $500k per year and i would not go past a 3 year deal given the variation in quality in his playing. and what do you thing other clubs would be prepared to pay him?

 

I still find it slightly comical that Chip has come out saying that the constant speculation is annoying him, yet he was the one who put off those contract talks and brought the speculation down on himself.

Not too bright is our James.

OMG! If he leaves meet might finish down near the bottom. Time to go chip

Your posts are as creepy as your photo.

I wouldn't be surprised if we did indeed finish last. Hope for the players, and supporters, we don't.

^Deecisive I mostly agree with your estimates, 3 years on no more than 500k per season. I don't know what his leadership around the club is like, does anyone have any idea on this?

If we didn't build on this year and improve further next year then I would be very, very surprised, and hugely disappointed.


We won't finish last, we will have to lose all our remaining games to do that. We have 2 winnable ones left IMO against Brisbane and GWS. Although saints winning their freo game has me ll twisted.

It would be disastrous winning the spoon this year, make no mistake

Ha Ha ha that's funny.

 

Anyone watching AFL360 (yes it's quite painful).

Buckley was very coy went asked about Frawley and whether or not a deal has been done. Never seen a coach act the way Buckley did and kill the topic as he did.

How's that?

GONNNNNEEEEE... bucks just smirked.. signed sealed and delivered

It was more than a smirk. Jeez we're clutching at straws for a footy story here, let me have this one! Frawley will be Magpie!


Don't need to get Allan Pease in to decipher Buckley's body language.

Obvious Pies are into Frawley.

My uni had an Allan Pease joke book in the restroom.

The pies makes sense. They need a simple country lad after giving shaw away. But seriously they have a big hole down back with no stand out back to match with the power forwards. Why did they ask Buckley about frawley? Has there been some scuttlebut?

chip would also know how to get to training which is probably an important consideration. It would take him 12 months to work out how to get to waverly if he joined the Hawks and you can forget about an interstate side - he'd spend all Hus time lost

Edited by binman

I'm desperate for this club to change Machsy.

Having an experienced senior player who is part of the leadership group display the same sort of behaviour as players like Sylvia makes me sick and tells me that there are still players we need to move on if we want to see a transformed club.

Frawley is a pea brain. I'm annoyed because he doesn't carry himself well on or off-field and it reflects badly on the club. Which is where my care is.

Agree steve. Call me a naive old fart, but I put a high price on loyalty.

Yeah, Buckley's body language was a dead give-away. No doubt they are chasing Frawley, if they don't already have him.

Maybe you do value loyalty, as most supporters do. Most footballers now value loyalty as long as all the other boxes are ticked as well - money, length of contract, prospect of finals ( with age of the footballer being a consideration - rivers leaving to play finals before retirement ) and even coach/player relationship (daisy left for huge dollars but was only ever going to the malthouse club) or Richetelli who had a falling out with Voss.

 

At the point of really couldn't give two shits one way or the other. He stays - awesome we have a solid tall defender who can swing forward when needed. if he leaves for greener pastures who could blame him, I couldn't. We get compensated with what should be an adequate draft pick (early first round) which for the first time in a longtime doesn't feel like it will be squandered. If the rumours of potentially luring Cameron or Shiel are true, we may well be better off losing him but I'm an old school loyal type and I think the spud farmers are too and he wouldn't be leaving lightly. It would be a massive life choice for him, stay for the benefit of being a one club player and seeing the good times after the crap or jump ship and land on the coat tails of others. I'd stay but that's me - other blokes have successfully changed allegiances for success and are very well received universally. As I said at the start if he stays great, if he leaves - good luck to him and I have faith in Roos and co to deliver replacements

I agree with everything you say nutbean. However true loyalty can't be qualified, or made subject to certain prerequisites. Sadly, I also fully understand that declining loyalty is inevitable in today's game, and that ain't gonna change. The concept of 'team first' no longer extends beyond the field of play, so I and others who share my view better bloody well get used to it!

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
