Chip Frawley


Deemotivated

Recommended Posts

Just read an article on the AFL app listing Chip as unrestricted... This really doesn't help us retaining him.

Has something suddenly changed today?? Wasn't he always going to be UFA? Hasn't there been a thread on him already? (I will unreservedly apologise and withdraw this post if that is untrue)

What? He is not in our top 25% player salaries?

His contract was apparently very front loaded and when you factor in the sort of money Dawes, Clark, Watts, Grimes Jones and Howe are on it's not all that surprising, nomatter what he does at the end of 2014 i imagine he will be earning at least twice as much

Its not Chip I am worried about as we ll get nice compo for him. I am concerned more about Dunn who is in career best form and may leave for a lesser amount then Frawley.

I reckon Dunn will stick around, mostly because i can't see any other team being that interested

I wouldn't like to lose Dunn but i don't concern myself about players leaving after Scully what's the point, if Frawley goes and that non playing FF Clarks contract is front loaded we should have a massive amount of money to spend on a star.

He goes he goes.. such is life. I rank him BEHIND Garland anyway in terms of importance to this team.

We lose one we go find another...throw some money or whatever..

Am sure Roos and co can find a suitable replacement

Im simply not going to let players dictate my concerns. Its the 'new' way of the landscape. So be it.

There will be interest for a mature bodied Half back flanker with a booming kick and leads the league for 1 on 1 contests.

This is terrible news and terrible policy; it should be average salary over the life of each players current contract.

This hurts the clubs that couldn't pay the salary floor because there was no decent players to pay - front load contracts to reach the floor and be hurt when they come out of contract.

We should appeal this, if in fact, it is a decision by AFL house that has been reflected by the website.

It doesn't make any difference because clubs don't match offers if he's gone he's gone they wouldn't make him stay.

I think their should be an appeal and the status changed. Simply because the rules changed after the contract was signed and paid. Basically there should be a transition period given his obvious importance to the club is not measured in this year's salary as the old contracts expire.

I agree he signed that contract 12 to 18 months before free agency was even introduced, do we still get a first round pick for him ?

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Had to shoulder more responsibility as the club’s injury concerns deepened but needs to step up more as he closes in on 100 games. Date of Birth: 31 May 2000 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 21 Career Total: 95 Goals MFC 2024: 6 Career Total: 34 Games CDFC: 1 Goals CDFL: 0

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level. One to watch in 2024. Date of Birth: 7 March 2003 Height: 191cm Games MFC 2024: 15 Career Total:  15 Goals MFC 2024: 0 Career Total:  0 Games CDFC 2024: 6 Goals CDFC 2024: 0

    Originally an NBL basketballer with the Brisbane Bullets, he moved across town in 2019 to the AFL Lions where he played 19 games before crossing to Melbourne where he was expected to fill a role as a back up ruckman/key forward. Unfortunately, didn’t quite get there although he did finish equal sixth in Casey’s best and fairest award. Date of Birth: 23 February 1999 Height: 198cm Games CDFC: 14 Goals CDFL: 13

    Sadly, had to wrap up a great career in midstream on the back of multiple concussions which culminated in the Maynard hit in the 2023 Qualifying Final. His loss to the club was inestimable over and above his on field talent given his character and leadership qualities, all of which have been sorely missed.
