Meh.

Jumped ship to chase success in our lowest point.

Good riddance 

 

He got the cheap Flag he wanted. I remember the day he "gave up" whilst playing under Roosy..

What a load of rubbish. 
 

He gave the club very good service and got himself an AA guernsey when we were tripe. 
 

Good luck to him but clearly haters are gonna hate.

Seems like just yesterday he was one of the players ushering in our new era. In his early years he was fast , exciting, AA  and set to be almost anything. Couldn’t kick unfortunately and Never really became the player many thought he might. Got caught up in the Neeld years of abomination and left for a flag. All in all a decent career... but a slightly bitter taste when I think about him and that era. 
In terms of the dees,  Probably the best thing he did for us was bring in a Brayshaw. 

 

I find it odd that our club is acknowledging Frawley publicly. It's not a good look IMV.

That's not right, didn't he get us Petracca or Brayshaw?

Jeez being Full Back in the period he was for us anyone would want out.  Getting smashed each week by big forwards with a truck load of supply.  He served us well through his time at the Dee's right to the very end when we got overs for him as compensation.

Spot on Steve was he supposed to stay while the club was run by idiots and end up with nil success.

He has what no other Melbourne player of that era has a premiership medal.

Must feel amazing to be given a flag upon arrival.

Credit where it's due, he was just about BOG in that grand final. No such thing as an easy flag.

Was disappointed when he left, he was a shining light in some pretty dark times. As a Dee, his battles with Buddy Franklin were always a highlight. He was pretty much universally recognized as the best young full back in the league for a while there. He never reached the heights we all predicted, but he retires as a 239 game, All Australian premiership player. Not too many Demons with that resume. Solid career whichever way you look at it.

The guy played 130 odd games for us, more than for the Hawks. It's the classy thing to so, snipping at a guy who gave us pretty good service while he was here is not a good look.

I remember when he was interviewed with Lynden Dunn, and Chip wouldn’t look at the Camera when asked about his next contract. Long before “the very end”

Chip was part of the problem, nobody cared except the Members and Supporters

Tough Crowd

He gave his all in a dreadful team. Won an AA jacket. We got pick 3.

Best of luck Chip.

Just out of interest did they acknowledge Watts? I wonder what the protocol is.

After Scully (of course) I reckon James Frawley is the former Melbourne player most dead to me.

Sure, that's not the point I was making though. I don't think the club needed to say anything.

How good was it in 2010 when he took on the best forwards as a 22yo and beat Jon Brown and Brendan Fevola. It was just so exciting watching him play with such gusto that year as we started a mini climb with our two top picks Scully and Trenners adding to the euphoria.

He was so good that year that he won an AA and I thought we were on our way. Then after the infamous China post-season trip the word came out that Scully was going and I'm sure Chipper was devastated as well. 

Very proud that he was asked to play at Hawks and showed why he was so highly rated on the biggest stage - quelling Josh Kennedy in his prime and in a GF.

Very pleased also that he keeps up regularly with Gawny and Dunny and Howey at a bar in Richmond, at least until this year. That's loyalty that a few on here clearly don't appreciate. He battled for almost a decade with us through ****ty times and full credit to him for getting a flag, just like Stan Alves and Greg Wells before him.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
