What crap. Cats " WILL" talk to "HIM" after the season is over. Oh, of course, they have been talking to his manager up till now.

Rivers has been talking to him all year....

Just sayin...

Thing is he will try his arse off at his new club, that's what makes it worse.

And I hope he fails big time. Like Scully.

NOt because I am bitter but because I want FAs to stop thinking the grass is greener.

And how [censored] ironic that one of the best teams of the last decade will have two of Melbourne's key defenders. If anyone doubts we need midfielders that alone should convince you.

I believe that Chip will be best man at Rivers up coming wedding so I would be surprised if they haven't been talking to each other

Drew Petrie had 13 possessions and kicked 1 goal on Chip last night.

When he goes we are going to miss him.

As I said MONTHS ago my word was that he is a signed and sealed CAT Make no mistake!

I have heard the Suns are willing to offer above the 500k so it will be interesting to see if he would be willing to take unders to join Rivers at Geelong.

I think if you're looking at playing consistant finals in the future, best chance of premierships and a good pay packet to go with it I would be heading to the Suns over Geelong or Hawthorn

He'll be be heading down the surf coast area, make no mistake.

A good country boy, and the cattery is about as close as you'll get to country life.

His heart is no longer bleeding red & blue.

When he moves to Geelong he will win more games in 2 seasons than he has won at Melbourne in his career.

we'll get pick 3 to go with our pick 2. Win Win all round.

He tells the club tomorrow unless he did it last night.

If we have any evidence of this we should demand the AFL investigate and have the Cats nailed to the wall for it.

If you can believe SEN. Geelong May have got a verbal signature.

Balmy is pumped.

We had better get band 1 for this weasel, he shouldn't even be an unrestricted FA, how ridiculous is it that only the final year of his contract contributes to that status.

I'm sure we will miss him to some degree but my level of care factor for him after his pathetic arm waving, slow jogging, disinterested year is zero.

Hopefully we get band 1 and turn it into a winning trade/pick scenario.

Myself and plenty of other MFC diehards will not miss him.

When will people realise that 'honourable servants' of this club are not the ones who are going to drag us out of this black hole.

Especially those who are supposed leaders.

We will continue to be second rate until we have a core group of leaders who share the same philosophies and mindset as players like Jones, Cross and Dawes and have the talent, professionalism and work ethic to match.

Frawley has the consciousness of a minnow and those who believe he is any sort of 'loss' to this club still have no idea the kind of club culture we are searching for to improve.

And no I don't care what Paul Roos' spits out to the media in regards to the situation. He'd know very well that we're much much better off with the compo pick.

Bring on the new breed.

Regardless of Dawes' behaviour last night, he is still 10 times the leader Frawley will ever be.

12th in disposals

1st in marks (by about 30 from the next closest!)

13th in tackles

3rd in goal kicking

Players who never won a flag but never stopped putting in for their clubs.

You can take it or leave it whether he should be there.

"Players who never won a flag but never stopped putting in for their clubs." How you could apply the bold section to Ablett senior is beyond me.

Not just last night 'steve', I don't think he gives us anywhere near enough on the ground. I'm also not happy about him getting stuck into JKH about burning him and then doing the same thing himself on numerous occasions.

We havent sewn up pick 2 yet ? Could be Pick 1!

I don't want Frawley next year.

He typifies everything that is wrong eith out culture. His form is inconsistent. He will require overspending.

If we got no compensation, I think I'd still hold the same view.

I'm actually looking forward to removing one of the key problems with this side.

Can we please replace his position on the demonland banner now, nauseated every time I see him there.

We should have a vote of who to replace him with. My vote is Jetta

yeah remove this fool from the banner

Yep get rid of the filthy knobber

Can they just announce it and get on with it.

To think, he was our vice captain...

Should absolutely be Dunny.
