Even at the dees you have to play well to get in the top 10 in th b&f, to say he turned off after round 2 is rewriting history, and just plan stupid thing to say.

Not sure that is correct, the tenth best player on the MFC list is pushing the bounds of ordinary at most other clubs

Nah, you just have to play relatively consistently. Every player gets votes so its biased towards those who play the most games.

Sorry. He actually "turned off" during the Round 2 game if you watch carefully you will see...

lol

So just to be clear, he came into the season mentally prepared, ready to go, and that mindset lasted a grand total of two weeks?

once the head drops P Man respect for your club is severed...yes it can be salvaged but it is never the same. My gut feel is that Chip was out before round 1 but had to keep it quiet.

The interview with Matt Burgan was excriutiating, suprised the MFC let that get ou to the supporters

So no i don't think the mindset lasted even 2 weeks

Saying he was "switched off" before the season began is less absurd than saying he "switched off" during Round 2, but it's still incorrect. You are blatantly rewriting history and it makes you look petty.

In round 4 he had 24 possessions, 6 inside 50s and kicked 2 goals. In a role that was foreign to him. And you're saying he was "switched off" by that stage?

He tailed off at the end of the year like most of our players, partly because he is not a leader's backside, but that doesn't override his other contributions on the field throughout the year.

Just calling it as i saw it Man..Chips body language was elsewhere all year, and that is a fact if you know how to read it.

I am not petty at all. He either signed on or didn't

Please don't paint yourself as a body language expert.

It makes you appear petty by claiming he was mentally checked out all year. Many of his performances lie in total contrast to that claim. It is flat out wrong, and I say that as someone who has criticised his laziness at times on the field.

Even when he returned to the defence, you could see his annoyance when he was beaten by his man. Chip's competitiveness and desire to win is one of the main reasons he's no longer at the club.

nope. It's more a big fat long contract that Chip was able to command at the club of his choice.

If you want to believe differently that is your choice Man.

Big fat long contract? He couldn't have gotten that money at the MFC? Please.

He left to win more games. Now. End of story.

Hell his first interview with them he was talking winning a flag in his first couple of seasons, Brian Lake style.

I'm far from Frawley's biggest fan but going out of your way to create a villain out of him is silly, in my opinion.

i don't consider Frawley a villain. He just used an available system.

But he checked out last summer.

That is my opinion.

That's wrong. Word is that Chip actually wanted to sign back on in the end but that MFC were told behind close doors that they would get pick 3 for him if he were to leave and so forced him out.

Yes i was told that too, Chip's attitude throughout the year bought him unstuck..

He wanted his cake and.....

Which you're entitled to. The evidence doesn't really support that opinion.

depends where you look and how hard you watch carefully. It's there against WC in Round two.

Many of us spoke about it at the time on this site.

Again, you can stop attributing it to you just looking harder or being more of a body language expert.

I remember the West Coast game. There were far worse performers out there than Frawley. But overlooking that, is the accusation that he checked out before the season started, or from round 2 onwards? It seems to flip flop.

Frawley has been prone to incidents of laziness on the field for the past 2 seasons. At least. That isn't something new. Saying he had checked out entirely from the beginning is a bit different.

To what would you attribute his inarguably strong performances against Carlton and Gold Coast merely two weeks later? Playing in a totally new position, it should be noted.

Freedom or a lifting of responsibility would be my first thoughts.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
