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

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
