nah, he's a gun, even with all the crap he pulled this year he's 1 of our best,he's better than anything you'll get in the draft.

a gun? Surely you gest... his decision making is poor

 

He is continually low on effort and like watts has seemed to expect others to lift the team. Hasnt been helped by our admin incompetance though in the past

not in gest, as far as key position backmen he's just about as good as there is, you have highlighted his weakness thou.

low in effort only this season, thats why i hate him now

Missing the point- no one begrudges him the right to exercise his FA rights- we just don't appreciate the fact he won't admit he is considering exercising them- hence he isn't doing the club any favours in planning a replacement and is seen to be stuffing us around.

It's just not a good look for anyone to do that to an employer that has provided you wih an income for a long time.. Considering it's our team that's being strung along we take exception to that, and we have every right to

Sorry Sweet Dee..........He has said all along that he would decide at the end of season which is now

"Not a good look" It is now the twenty first century.....Loyalty in AFL has been gone for many many years now......Clubs delist players, as they should, every year without how "Loyal" that player have been to the club.......Players now do the same thing........

People change employment for many reasons, some for better advancement, more money, better conditions....It happens all the time....Footy is no different. It is just that we are supporters who feel jilted when a player from our club chooses to leave.


he's 1 of our best,he's better than anything you'll get in the draft.

Well we got him in the draft

He can go to Geelong and they may have one more finals campaign in them after this, this is definitely their last premiership tilt for a while and Hawthorn may well put a dint in that on Friday. Then it's back to the rebuild Chip.

Anyway, to me real success comes in working your way up with a group of players who have been through hard times rather than dropping in on the party late. Yes you can enjoy the success but every time you look in the mirror you know the reality.

blah blah - footy is a business now - its ok to trwat the fans and their emotional connection with contempt. Players dont have to show loyalty and blah blah its stupid to expect it. Like the nfl where there is no point having favourite players when their rosters change so much...

well im not a fan. If you want loyal supporters who pay their membership because of an emotional attachment rather than a business transaction then you cant expect those supporters not to get angry when you cut and run for coin and individual glory.

And i want him gone.

So when N.Jones become a free agent next year and says he will put off talks til the end of the year......You will be calling him a dud and be demanding him to be dropped and looking forward for a No.3 pick in the draft?

I too want our players to be loyal but I would have to have a time machine and go back to the sixties to achive that

He also said he will wait to see the direction the club is taking- well he's seen it.. Now what?

No I will be crying and contemplating suicide.

jonesy would never leave. We may as well fold if he did

As Frawley compensation we get pick 3 then trade it with pick 38 & pick 88 to GWS for Jono O'Rourke & Kristian Jaksch & Sam Frost

Frawley covered and some class.

you know what i meant. We got a lot of players in the draft some good, most bad.

I do laugh when I read this. Better check your history - two contracts ago he delayed talks until late in the season and was being heavily courted by Essendon and was much discussed on here.

edit: bossdog - rest easy - If my memory serves me right Jonesy was called names at the time too

I said that about Barassi .....Many years ago.....lol


To now behave like a child who just can't make up his mind, all the while not putting in any effort on the field and holding us to ransom, is just not on.

He has made up his mind but until a deal in inked he ain't gonna tell you...or the club

Its the system. I don't blame him for that. I blame him for his pizzweak effort this year. We paid him upfront in his contract and because he was not in our highest 25% of players he can walk to another club for free. I reckon has played on two cylinders this year - the last year of his contract - and I blame him for that.

I said that as a joke. For the right price anyone would/could leave.

well im not a fan. If you want loyal supporters who pay their membership because of an emotional attachment rather than a business transaction then you cant expect those supporters not to get angry when you cut and run for coin and individual glory.

Very true. That is where FA will completely change the attitude of supporters. Living in the middle of NSW, I and a several of my family who also live interstate, pay our membership year after year even though I've been able to get to only 1 match in the past few years. Why should I keep doing that when footy becomes just a business? Membership then will come down purely to value for money versus paying at the gate.

Frankly if it wasn't for the dire straights the MFC has been in in recent years, I would have stopped paying several years ago.

jonesy would never leave. We may as well fold if he did

Unless we improve and go close to finals next year I would be gobsmacked if he signs on again with us.

cant beleive his giving us the run around. All he cares about is himself.

Christ you're embarrassing...


jonesy would never leave. We may as well fold if he did

I'm telling ya, if we haven't improved by the end of next year, i reckon he will seriously consider his options, teams will be all over him if he even looks remotely gettable

You would have to think playing with his brother in Sydney would be tempting to Jones if we are crap again next season

His good mates with Joel Selwood too, i reckon Geelong would make a call, Hawthorn need to sure up their midfield, so they would too,

 

Has the B&F function started yet? Anyone know if Chip showed up?

Also, I would be interested to see a revote for this thread. Do those 109 votes really still believe Frawley is staying?

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
