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

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.

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?
