I suppose alot depends on how long before our flag window opens

 

I'm inclined to think he won't be staying and has alerted the club as to such.

Hence why TMac is getting the best forward every week, and Frawley is playing second banana to Dawes.

Hope I'm wrong.

I think the Saints are going to throw huge cash at him 600 - 650k a year over 4.

I only think he is worth 400 -450 a year.

He's overrated, no doubt about that. I'd still pay him 750k a year though if it meant he signed today.

The whole of Frawley leaving is based on going to a club for success?

Personally, i'd rather be at Melbourne than Stkilda.

I hope that you dont value any of my property!!

In terms of todays footballer, if you can play in a variety of roles successfully, your net worth is only going to increase. Last year we would all have said his best is purely as a key back playing closer to goal. This year we have seen him play high forward and closer to goal, which im sure also would help him if he does end up returning back.

In my opinion, if he signs his next contract assuming its a 4 year deal, it will be around 2.5 million. Fremantle, brisbane, carlton, st kilda, hawthorn, adelaide and possibly geelong would all pay that to get him next year.

 

I think the brown and gold clowns might be looking for a solid defender and after Buddy left them with a lot to spend, Lake might not go another year it might be a spot vacant.

I dont want him to go but as it has played out this year, Roos is straight forward and might have had a sit down and asked "what are the chances of you being in red and blue next year?" and was told not good to which Roos went about building his defence for the future and knowing Spud is a good posability of not being there.

I could be wrong and im not speaking with any insider knowledge etc but thats what i think. The buddy deal was dont the year previous and was sat on for a season. whats to say the hawks didnt do the same.

I like our defence as it stands. I would love to have Spud in there too but the boys down back are awesome.

Frawley is worth 600k I reckon , as the team rises you will see more and more his value as a defender who consistently beats monsters

I think you should add "compared with the teams who are prepared to offer him a contract". If it is purely about playing for a Premiership, it's not a big field of options.

I've said all along that I think he'll re-sign.

Has he said anything saty? Or just your impression?

Oddly, every game we win reduces Frawley's trade value. If we finish bottom we get pick 1 and pick 2 as compensation. If we finish 10th we get pick 10 and 11 as compensation. Etc. There must be some happy medium value at which point we try to keep Frawley because his trade value has been too greatly diminished. That said, Roos seems to think that there is not a whole lot of difference between picks 1 and, say, 10. So the Dees might just feel consecutive picks anywhere in the top 10 are too good to knock back.

(Disclaimer: Other clubs' compo picks may throw out the rankings.)

Oh right then, That settles it.

FMD

He is a required player, but not for more than 650k a year.

TBH I suspect he'll stay. Just seems silly to jump ship now that the pieces are coming together. Hawthorn can't have too long left with such tired legs about the place.

Do I want him to stay? Absolutely.

Do I think he will stay? Not leaning enough either way to make a call on it.

Interesting Tweet from Ten News Melbourne just now..


...which was?

" has Melbourne defender james frawley made up his mind on his playing future? tune in to 10 news tonight "

"Answer: No, he's still undecided. Stay tuned cause after the break, we have updates on the latest Justin Bieber controversy"

Bootsma re-hired by carlton as they realised the dirty pictures were actually sent to Justin beiber and reporters on the scene understandably mistook him for a teenage girl

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
