Sorry if this has been mentioned elsewhere but whats happening with James Frawley? Is he likely to leave and if he is a free agent will we lose him for nothing?

    He is out of contract at the end of 2014, yes he will be a free agent at that time but a restricted free agent so we have the right to match any offer made for him, i am very confident that will Paul Roos in charge we will be able to keep him.

    He is one player that I don't think we can afford to lose, and because of this, and his Free Agency status next year, I have a feeling we may end up having to pay overs for him. He will be on a number of radars, and will be offered serious coin.

    Not OOC until next season.

    Yes.

    Begin panicking... now.

    No need to apologize it's a great thread.

    I agree with what's been stated above - he is an essential player and I too believe Roos can convince him to stay. Although I hope it's sooner rather than later while all this hype surrounding the club and it's future is high. Because if we finish say just outside the eight next year (let's hope it's higher) I believe more persuasion will be required for Frawley this time next year than what has been needed for Watts this year with the attached unknown yet exciting future under the likes of Roos.

    It'd take a bit to pay overs for him Billy. Imagine you could have any backman in the league - I reckon he'd be right up there in most people's calculations.

    I agree with all statements made above. If he were in a Geelong he would be the second best back in the team, just behind Taylor. At Hawthorn he would be the best back. An essentual player and I hope the MFC are going to have some money allocated for next year. Worth 750,000 in my opinion.

    On a slightly different topic, who is out of contract besides Watts and Sylvia?

    Is that not my point?

    Not really... you are saying we may have to pay overs to keep him... but if he is someone we cannot afford to lose, then it would not really be considered paying overs if we value him that highly. I know, I know... semantics ;-)

    Taggert, Jetta, Nicholson, Magner

    Was hoping for some better names for trade options. Those 4 aren't worth a grain of salt.

    It suprises me that Nicho isn't contracted and is still a listed player.

  • Quote

    I would only perservere with Jetta of that group see if we could make him into crumbing small forward

    Feel sorry for Magner tried his guts out never impressed the coaches

    Nicho only has speed not a footballer!

    could you advise which players on our list would have been trade options if out of contact?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
