Go. You haven't been that crash hot this year chip and I really think an extra early pick in the draft would be worth more than you.

    He's Gawn.

    Source or opinion?

    reliable source, which I cannot divulge. ....... before you ask

    No need to ask as I think we all know he is gone and has been for some time.

    He is apparently not available to one club and won't talk to them - us.

    We will move on.

    Any idea where he is headed and if the deal is enough to get us a good compo pick?

    That I don't know. As explained by the source, who is in the media, divulging that information would equate to Frawley and/or his manager, by imputation, breaching the rules governing FA, as they - and it's a joke really - cannot be seen to be giving 'in-principle' agreements to any other club, before the actual FA period commences.

    I have said this on the Clark thread a few times, but I still hold hope of a Hogan, Clark, Dawes, Howe forward line with say Kent, JKH ,JT and Salem thrown into the mix for the small spots.

    How much different would that lineup be with us being straightened up and attacking the forward 50, instead of [censored] farting around with the ball across half back. A few new mids and some improvement in Tyson , Viney, Salem, Toumpas, Barry etc and we would be a different side. Add a Malceski to the half back line and get rid of those poor users of the ball and we are a completely different side.

    Fair enough mate,

    hopefully he finds the success he is searching for at his new club

    If your source is in the media then he may be no more accurate than a Jordie Mac shot at goal from 10 metres out.

    True, but let's just say, the media source's ties to the MFC are pretty solid

    WYL, I presume you are alluding to Roosy's previous decree that if he knew of any player who had already committed to another club, he wouldn't play him? Therein lies the conundrum for any coach. Stop playing the guy concerned, and you, by inference, confirm to all and sundry that said player is gone and in doing so, you land the player in the shite for breaching FA rules. In short, whether true or not, Roos simply would not want to know right now.

    Because he is not gone "officially". This same discussion was happening over on the Collingwood boards regarding Travis Cloke. "why play him when he is gone" - look how that turned out.

    I have stated that I believe he will move on but if I wanted to absolutely 100% guarantee that he is gone I would drop him right now because "he is gone" - no quicker was to push a player out the door.

    Until a player either makes it public beforehand or tells the club privately he is gone you will not see that player dropped ( other than for form reasons).

    As an aside - I thought he looked likely in the first half - very quiet in second half and the only player who remonstrated with Big sauce over his clash with Pedo. If he is poor leader as constantly pointed out here then he is not in a very exclusive club at the MFC.

    I agree entirely. But i also believe the club should have a solid answer by now.

    If Chip is not talking to his own club then he IS GONE.

    Play out the year at Casey...

    On you chip.

    First decent act of leadership I've seen from you all year as a supporter.

    I love how people say Jones would never go as if they knew him personally. . Please

    If we are like this next year its see you later Jones. He has bled for this club hard enough. The guy deserves success and most like have a look. At one stage he was regretting signing that 3 year deal up until we signed Roosy.

    Again go back and google his contract before the last one - his re-signing meandered as Essendon made a huge play for him.

    We all believe what we want to believe.

    He was gone months ago. It's all been pretence and hypocrisy.

    Would love to see him dropped for the rest of the year with no farewell game or acknowledgement.

    He was just about our best on the weekend. He was also the only player to stick up for Cam Pedersen when Daniel Merrett knocked his block off.

    It is not that - the whole problem with agreeing to move before seasons end is that it is non binding - more at the insistence of the new club as you wouldn't want to contract a player who had a career ending injury one game before the end of the season with his current club. Therefore dropping a player that you believe to be leaving would do nothing but put him 100% out of the door - if that's the clubs intention then fine - drop him. If they want to keep him then it is a poor strategy that serves no purpose.

    Ryan O'Keefe was strongly rumoured to want out of Swans a few years back towards the end of the season and then made it public at seasons end he wanted to get to Hawthorn. They didn't drop him at the end of the season - they did nothing and the deal didn't get done and he played in a premiership side.

    • 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.
