GOODBYE MR. CHIP FRAWLEY

[Jesse Christ 2,884]

Has he responded to our offer yet?

[chook fowler 19,519]

Chip must be pleased the Clark situation has taken the heat off him.

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

The Dockers have been in the mix for Chip the whole time.

What a wally this bloke is.

So he's talking to both of the teams who have the oldest lists in the comp and who have both been bundled out in straight sets from top 4 possies.

He'd be mad to go to Freo - they simply can't fill as many holes as will sprout in the next couple of years so he'd want to start winning flags with them pretty bloody quickly.

[ChaserJ 5,157]

It's alright, he'll have 7 years for Freo to try and contend again...

...but they are quite capable of pinching a flag next year. I think they performed well with the injury list they had, a little bit like Sydney under similar difficulties last year.

I'm buoyed by all the interest in Frawley.
The more competition there is for his services, the more lucrative his contract will be, on the more likely we will get Pick 3 as compensation instead of an end of first rounder.
See ya chip - hello Angus Brayshaw!

Yeah... Dunno about that.

Anyone still think the loyal country boy might still sign with the MFC?

Would throw a spanner in the works for multiple clubs off season planning if he did

Saty?

[Pipefitter 2,163]

It's pretty embarrassing that even at this stage he hasn't let the club know he isn't coming back. Nice work from one of our leaders.

[picket fence 17,479]

Yeah well part of the info I already had was that

A) Best mate Rivers was already there

and now

B) Girlfriend is a Geelong girl with family affinity with Geelong and so another part of that puzzle was revealed today ( Although I already knew that from an informed sauce and it formed part of my reasoning) the main part however is still to be played out and when it does it will be as I have said. I will say though that unless a "Ship in the knight" takes the wind away I remain 99% convinced that Geelong will be his destination.

Laughable really! But Logical if so inclined!

AH THE FENCE, FIRST IN WITH THE NEWS,AS I ALLUDED EARLIER ( SEE MY PREVIOUS POST) SUGGESTING CRYPTICALLY THAT FREO WAS A LATE SUITOR! EVEN BETTER THAN BARRETT , "SHIP IN THE KNIGHT" ANCHORS AWAY IT'S FREO MAKING A LATE CHARGE!

GEE IT'S GOOD TO BE "ONE THE MONEY" HEY MOON YOU STILL THERE ?? what do you make of this one eh?? What's that you say," Fluke" oh yeah fluke! my new avatar" Picket Fluke"

Gee its good to have sources that really do know a thing or two!

Bwah ha ha har!!

[Ted Lasso 19,549]

Picket he's been talking to Freo for months, its not like they have swopped in at the last minute

[beelzebub 23,382]

Has he responded to our offer yet?

I'd say effectively yes !!!!

[beelzebub 23,382]

if he went to Freo would that make him Ship Frawley ...surely !!!

sigh...it's a charade - but free agents don't tell the clubs where they are going or if they are going until the first day that free agency transfers open. Hate it as much you want and call it embarrassing but that is the way it is and I am not really sure why people can't understand it. You can pretty much take it to the bank that if he hasn't told the club he is staying by now then he is going. The club knows the vicinity of the offers and has already spoken to the AFL on what compensation we will get for different contract scenario's.

I find it amusing that posters are saying - mad to go to Geelong or Freo. They are both light years ahead of us in terms of their lists. The talk about Geelong sliding - that's why they pick up new players - so they won't slide - they have some good younger talent coming through. I heard the same madness about Rivers going to Geelong because they were going to slide and he has now played in finals the last two years. Bottom line is that if he goes to either Geelong or Freo he will be playing finals next year as opposed to staying at the MFC.

[beelzebub 23,382]

Helll Chip and GF just got a nice weekend away paid for by the Dockers....lol

[jabberwocky 2,301]

7 years @ 600k reportedly offered by freo according to SEN.

Surely not.

[Mac7 309]

7 years for Frawley, Ross Lyon planning on leaving charred earth at another club when hes done?

[whatwhat say what 22,909]

Why not?

Makes sense to me - they are in desperate need of key position players.

Pick 3, come on down.
