Chip Frawley


Deemotivated

Recommended Posts

If that did happen, who would Roosy chase to trade our Pick 2.

They way we are playing we'll nail down Pick 1 without tanking.

If that was the case he would try and do another Tyson/Salem deal.

Would be nice if we got just one draft period with the kind of red carpet treatment they give to expansion clubs.

Can't see many others clubs supporting it, but ultimately it would be extremely bad news for the AFL if we didn't improve this year. They need us to improve and they need it to look like their appointment of Jackson & Roos has been a raging success. The damage to the game, supporters, broadcasters and stadiums is enormous if teams get flogged every week.

It has a potently damaging effect on the AFL brand itself, and more importantly their bottom line. In short, they really can't afford to let us fail this time. If nothing else, they're contractually obliged to have 18 teams until 2017.

Thought this was the best place to put it - Robbo has reported in the HUN that Chip has put an 800k bounty on his head to switch clubs. If someone is willing to pay it and he leaves then we would get a very, very good draft pick in return (if we finish last then we get 1 and 2 for example).

Not sure how to feel about this to be honest. Article is here:

Frawley vs Pick 2?

Hmm.

I'd go for Pick 2. By the law of averages, surely our next high pick will turn out to be a legend-in-the-making?

Depends on what we do with the pick. Our strike rate in terms of drafting speaks for itself, and good tall defenders don't just grow on trees.

But Chip isn't worth 800k, and I don't think I'd be a fan of the club paying him that either.

Its not up for debate

Pick 1 and 2 and let the real rebuild begin

But we need PJ and Roos to commit long term

I was going to mention this. Surely if we finish last again with Roos at the helm the AFL will have to admit we're in trouble and allocate PP to the club?

Not really. I just can't see them giving in no matter how badly we perform. They have apparently decided that the PP is too powerful a tool and are never going to break it out again unless we see another expansion team. I would say that the precedent they are setting with us, if they adhere to it in the future, would pretty much eliminate the chance of any club ever getting one again.

Have to get a Priority this year. Pick 1, 2 and 3. Chip wouldn't be putting a price on his head if he hadn't decided to check out - and who could blame him. Undoubtedly we'll trade one of those picks to GWS again for them to draft a future brownlow medalist.

Would you consider it for Treloar?

We can forget landing a Dangerfield or a Mundy; they'll only come home to competitive sides. Those sides have plenty of coin to throw around too; if you're Dangerfield, would you go to the Cats for $700k a year or move to Melbourne for $900k a year? I know what I'd do.

I'd like to keep Frawley but I think I'd rather pick 2 if it became a choice.

I'm a big fan of Chippa but he is dreaming if he thinks he is worth 800k a year. You would have to be a flawless backmen and we all know Chip is far from that. I wonder how much the reigning Norm smith Medalist is on? Some managers must bloat the ego's of their players to the extreme. See ya later Chip.

It's probably what the hawks are prepared to offer hence why his management has come out in the media with his price tag.

So much for "seeing the direction of the club" before deciding!!!!!!!

Good luck at the hawks.

I seriously hate Hawthorn. Any team would be good when every free agent/out of contract player wants to go there and then seems to get there without a drama.

We will not get a priority pick, no established club will get one again.

800k... See ya chippa

If we finish at the bottom after an 8th poor year we would have to get one, especially as we would be even weaker without Frawley and possibly Clark.

2 young kids won't save us, remember last time. One is gone and the other is in the VFL.

We will need a significant amount of on field help and that means a high draft pick and a few more to trade for players added to the picks we get for where we finish and for possibly losing our full back.

It's not just the Hawks that are chasing hard, the crows, giants, suns are as well that i know of, and the suns would certainly pay 800k for him, i just hope to go we don't try and match it

    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

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
