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.

Melbourne Football Club Supporters Syndrome

"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.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
