it not the contract amt that determines compo

it's amount + #years + player age

don't forget frawley is young and will draw a longish contract

lets hope..Hawks not overly reknown for this

I just sent an email to the AFLPA, the morons responsible for free agency coming in

So I see James Frawley is leaving a lowly club to join a powerhouse
So much for equalization
The rich continue to get richer, and the poor get poorer

and this is what you fought for? Maybe think things through before you decide to go ahead and ruin an entire sporting competition with a ridiculous rule that was bought in only to make things easier for your players who already have it easy and get paid too much money to chase a ball around a grass oval

the AFLPA have ruined footy for everyone

if you want to email them heres their addy

i love/loathe this place.

I like to think of Demonland is a MFC-aligned pub that we are constantly in. We have our Cheers like regulars, there are a few cliques, there are a few crazy people talking nonsense alone in the corner, there are tossbags bagging out the place but never leaving, there are attention seekers trying to get anyone to look at them, there are about 4 women, and there is a general sense of hopelessness that somehow morphs into unchallenged hopefulness and then challenged confidence.

At some point, the pub will be right and we will be right in our confidence.

Roos standing up for us:

Paul Roos says free agency is clearly benefitting the top clubs

Paul Roos says free agency is greatest de-equalisation of equalisation in footy

It's taken 9 years of posting, and here it is.

Glory be mine!

9 years on a male dominated football club forum and this is your first derogatory comment received as a female?

I'm not sure about the others, but i am actually proud. Such a comment would have been received almost instantly if this were a Collingwood etc. forum.

Clark isn't a free agent and yet he still was able to choose where he goes, why do we need free agency?

There is a difference.

Clark cannot guarantee where ends up - we have the opportunity to thwart his attempts to go the club of his choice ( don't trade him and then he has to take his chances that no other club other than his club of choice will pick him up in the draft).

UFA - we have no control - end of story ( apart from trading the year before the contract expires - but the player still has to agree)

It happens so rarely, I just don't think it was needed.

So you think it had nothing to do with the fact that we had no-one over 5'2" to play in the forward line for the early part of the season ?

Guesswork at best.

i think the most important aspect was that Roosy wanted to set ip the backline without Frawley in it, rather than rely on him.

The backline was ok and will get better. Frawley has not left a big hole.

I like that Demonland episode where Bbo and Moonie cut a hole in the women's bathroom to have a perv, but cut it in the wrong wall and ended up seeing Biff getting changed in the men's.

We all had a good laugh as Moonie was traumatised by the view but Bbo had to pretend to be revolted while being secretly turned on by Biff's thick chest hair.

Song Formely Known As was doodling in the corner the whole episode.

Picket Fence announced to us that he wanted to join the navy, but everyone laughed at him to he continued delivering mail and talking out of his butthole.

There was another episode where Dee-Luded laid off the LSD, but it turned out badly when he found his body had developed a chemical dependency and couldn't operate without it.

"Whatever can go wrong, will go wrong, and it will be even worse than what we thought is was going to be. And when things are going right, it will only be a matter of time before this is corrected."

Dr rpfc

It's actually scary how spot on that is in regards to the past 8 yrs.

    GOLDIE'S METTLE by Meggs

    On a perfect night for football at the home of the Redlegs, Norwood Oval, it was the visiting underdogs Melbourne who led all night and hung on to prevail in a 2-point nail-biter. In the previous round St Kilda had made it a tough physical game to help restrict Adelaide from scoring and so Mick Stinear set a similar strategy for his team. To win it would require every player to do their bit on the field plus a little bit of luck.  Fifty game milestoner Sinead Goldrick epitomised

    REDLEG PRIDE by Meggs

    Hump day mid-week footy at the Redlegs home ground is a great opportunity to build on our recent improved competitiveness playing in the red and blue.   The jumper has a few other colours this week with the rainbow Pride flag flying this round to celebrate people from all walks of life coming together, being accepted. AFLW has been a benchmark when it comes to inclusivity and a safe workplace.  The team will run out in a specially designed guernsey for this game and also the following week

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play
