Hawthorn will pay 800 k if it means they get Chip, so will Freo, don't kid yourselves into thinking noone is going to pay that much, the Suns and Crows would even pay that.

Right now on Carltonland they are probably having a similar conversation about Gibbs the cheap kick merchant. Few stars change clubs, and those two are far from being stars. I like Carlton's approach , offer him what he is worth and leave it at that.

These people who say he's not leaving he has only floated what it would take for him to leave.......didn't people over analyse everything Scully said.

Yes AD

I actually cannot remember Frawley saying much at all.

We are reacting to the media and his agent.

Not exactly the most believable lot.

Absolutely Hawthorn could afford it. Franklin leaving has left them with a massive amount of cap space.

i think him putting a figure on his value is a good thing, he now has to show prospective clubs and MFC that he is worth it. If we do not believe he is worth it we will let him go and accept whatever compensation we can get for him, plus room in our salary cap for the salary we are not paying him. If he improves then we win at least for this year and then can assess how much he wants to stay with the dees. My biggest fear is that no one will want to pay the sort of money he wants, including melbourne. then what?

There can be no denying that he is still one of the best match up in the game for big powerful key forwards. His deficiences like inconsistent disposal and frequent mistakes can be corrected as are more cerebral aspects of his game like form, confidence and enthusiasm. That is his big selling point to any club in a premiership window. Some will pay the money figures bandied about because they know he can shut out a Cloke or a Tippett and other gorillas.

Don't be so foolish as to think them just meeting that price means he will automatically leave.

if he gets offered 800k by a premiership contender i seriously doubt he is going to stay, i can't see us paying more than 800k to hang onto him.

If he did leave, which is a massive possibility, what does that mean in terms of compensation picks?

if he leaves on the 800k being floated we'd get band 1 compensation which is the pick immediately after our first pick, if that's pick 1 we get pick 2

I don't generally like having a go at posters but this guy "Machsy" just abuses people non stop just to be contrarion. The guy has racked up 2350 posts since last June and was the same under his other alises (e25, Jose Mourinho, Artie Bucco etc etc) racking up thousands of posts in a short amount of time then creating new user names. He's an internet troll who has no life other than getting into faux arguments on the net, better off just leaving him be/putting him on ignore and actually discussing footy/the MFC with other people who genuinely want to have a discussion rather than persoanlly attack people for differences of opinion in repetitive posts on every single thread.

The highlight of his many incarnations was the endless vituperation against anyone that suggested Scully would leave us.

Who is going to knock back $800,000 with September bonuses?

Get real.

This is utter crap.

It's also worth remembering the average salary is up to $300k now.

That's a player like Rohan Bail, Blease or Tapscott.

Average players.

Do you think Frawley is worth 2&1/2 of those types?

I know he is.

I know he isn't at the moment Hes at the same level. Needs to prove that he is worth the premium

Well aware of that...I am also fairly confident that Hawthorn & Fremantle have been circling since last year...Both would pay that figure...

Brian Lake took a pay cut to go to Hawthorn. I cannot see them paying more for Frawley than Hogde Mitchell & Roughhead get.

I would swap Frawley for a #2 pick in the draft like Josh Kelly.

But would we pick a Josh Kelly?

Different folks now but the recent past gives little comfort.

I would rather Frawley at a reasonable cost.

One in the hand ... for me.

Frawley has at least 4 years of AFL left in him. Probably more. Lake will be lucky to see out next season. Hey i would love to see the Hawks get too greedy but i doubt if Chip could turn down such a lucrative offer.

Ditto to the shockers.

Lake's career was in limbo for his last two seasons at the Bulldogs. Injuries and the Magoos was his lot. Whoever gets Frawley will get him at his prime for a key defender Edited by america de cali

For those that are not advocating trying to keep him - you can't then turn around and decry FA.

You'd be talking out of both sides of your face.

800k to a premiership contender with money to spare who could seriously use an efficient KP defender makes a lot of sense.

For where this club is at right now, it makes no sense.

If we are going to throw that kind of coin at a player, it needs to be a gamebreaker.

Gamebreaker/Gun midfielder/power forward?

The club must play its best by the rules in front of it. That doesn't mean we have to like the rules.

Anyone capable of impacting a game like Stewie Dew did in the 2008 GF.

Frawley isn't that guy and for 800k, I'd expect somebody who could potentially do that.

I don't really see defenders as game breakers, I would prefer to get a gun midfielder or key forward

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
