It's a kind of relief that we are close to closure on this. I just hope there aren't more of his ilk floating around the club.

Oh well ...break a leg James!!

James has proven that he is not, and was never, a true leader of this football club. He is now an irrelevant ex player that hopefully delivers a gun from pick 3. Bye James. Learn how to kick.

Dunn has to go on the banner

Make it happen.....please.

Well, at least Hawthorn should be able to pay more for Frawley than Geelong would, considering Buddy & Sewell are off the books.

Because it's now almost certain Frawley is not going to Geelong.

But they won't. So we could get screwed here.

Get him off the demonland banner!!!!

Anything over $500k for over 5 years will be band 1.

In 5 years time, $500k will be absolute peanuts for an AFL salary. Ergo, his manager hasn't spent all this time shopping him around (likely to go back to his preferred destinations -- Geelong and Hawks, and tell them what they need to offer) to accept a low-ball offer from Geelong. $550,000 - $600,000 over 5-6 years is roughly where I think he'll be signed.

That Hawthorn and Geelong both want him means they'll bid against one another to get him.

Hope you are right. Then we get tier 1 compo and feel so much better for being shafted!

Good by Scott - I mean Tom - I mean Jarred - I mean Colin - I mean Mitch - I mean James

So what happens if Nathan Jones leaves next year via free agency?

If we don't show much improvement next year Jones will leave next year. simple.

H_H won't post here again if that happens....

And all the other clubs will be over the moon when free agency compo gets scrapped due to the 'outcry' over pick 3.

Fantastic short-sighted decision by Carlton, St Kilda and Brisbane to all come out criticising free agency compo. Downright idiotic really.

if pick 3 is not given as compensation I can only assume the AFL no longer want the MFC in the competition and I will lose my [censored].

Get him off the demonland banner!!!!

He's off the banner and it's hilarious.

Looks like Grimesy broke wind and literally blew him out of the picture.

Good riddance to a very average player, traitor.

Is that why doms hairs up because of the wind.

I reckon you can take everyone off the banner aside from Jones and Roos and start building again from scratch

Wasn't it Kafka and one of his novels,The Trial where people's pictures went missing in Stalin's politburo in the 1930's. what are we becoming? .

Really? I think if we get pick 3 it will be the biggest swindle since the great train robbery

Has anyone in the media taken a step back from all this FA, trade frenzy and commented on the injustice of the current system that creates the outrageous situation whereby the two most successful clubs of the last decade are picking over the carcass of the least successful club, squabbling over taking a mature power forward and a fullback in his prime for f-all cost to them.

I could handle this if the AFL had any commitment to equalisation in the long run for all clubs. I am not factoring in tier1 compo at all for Chip until I see it happen.

Why would actual thought go into the media..

what did dunny have to say ????

Is there still red and blue still in veins.

Needs to check himself into a blood donation center asap.

He no longer bleeds red and blue; he excretes brown and yellow.

Big Country boy is gone, see ya spud.. sorry chip. Your uncle had the brass one's to stay with the 1 club. Hopefully this allows us to grow further.

He lost a few brownie points yesterday with his FB post...needs to earn them back before he gets on the banner

What BS.

The guy stands up for a soon to be former colleague and we are rabid about it.

Effing ridiculous.
