I think he'll stay.

    So when is compensation confirmed?

    AFL will announce we got pick 3 about two minutes after James Hird is sacked on Monday

    If Frawley goes, I am gunna guess a mid-round one pick = pick 10. Pick 3 too good; end of round one pick not enough (very close to dogs compo for higgins).

    Pick 10 sounds about right.

    Pennant, you're a breath of fresh air.

    Frawley is just another who doesn't have the capacity to spark genuine growth and change at the club and it really was amazing how many posters not so long ago thought he'd be more valuable to our club if he'd decided to stay rather than what we'd recieve if he left.

    The fact he was even in the leadership group again suggests our club is still very much in a transitional phase. Really I see the only reason he was in there was because of his games played experience and the fact that he'd been on our list for many years and was a kpp. Not really based on anything of substance. Rather, he just fell into the 'club' because he's been there so many years.

    I say it again. Him leaving will be one of the contributing factors to our clubs change of face in the coming years.

    Am glad he's gone. Bring on pick 3.

    It's not part of the formula or the rules that we or anyone would get a mid round pick but as we know they are made up on the run so anything is possible.

    I do think it will and should be pick 3 though.

    From trade-radio:

    CONFIRMED: While we wait for the father-son bidding to begin, the Hawks have confirmed they have signed James Frawley.

    Frawley, 26, joins as an unrestricted free agent in a major coup for the premiers, who lost star forward Lance Franklin as a restricted free agent at the end of last season.

    Cya mate...

    Only if your team is in a premiership window it seems.

    I am sad.
    Yet again, a senior player has decided after 8 or so seasons that we aren't worth the bother of trying to turn around.
    I know we will get compensated handsomely but a bunch of blokes who should have been 1 club players (Beamer, Col, Riv and now Chip) will finish their careers elsewhere like Stan Alves and Greg Wells to get the success they could never get at our club. That being said, this will probably only apply to Riv and Chip as Col is probably not going to get a game in Freo's firsts and Beamer lasted a season and a half at Brisbane.
    I don't feel bitterness towards Chip but I feel sad at what our club has become and that we have yet to have our 'Travis Boak' moment

    I read that too.

    Had a laugh.

    Should have read:

    'He is substance-less, a self-centered person of bland character and non-existent values who is chasing individual success and glory'.

    A senior leader of a football club crossing to a two-time premiership opposition side with the hope to win a flag in a team of players you don't know says a lot about that individual.

    As Riewoldt has previously said, it just wouldn't be or feel the same.

    All I hope is that we win a flag while this air head is still running around for the hawks.

    That'd indeed be the cherry.

    I have to wonder if Frawley has really thought this through. He says he wants a flag, but he's gone to a team that looks to be nearing the end of its window. They are still being carried by the 30+ brigade amd while the youth look good, they don't look ro be in the same league. Can they really win another one with this list?

    Talk on trade radio that we may not be getting pick 3. Ill spew if we dont.

    I hope they don't! It would be fantastic if they started declining quite rapidly while chip watches us rise and become top 4 in 2 years!

    I think the Hawks can win next year again, Lake Mitchell and Hodge are in the last couple of years of their careers, but I don't see the same drop off in quality that I see at Geelong with the Hawks list. But even still I can't see the Hawks missing finals in the next 4-5 years.

    Is that based on anything other than the numpties commenting on whether we 'deserve it' or not?

    Pretty much. But would we be surprised if we get bent over.

    The article on the official website says we're expected to get pick 3. They've been buttering up fans for weeks now that we'd get it to prevent any outrage.

    People are now fairly used to the idea. PJ and Roos have played it perfectly.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
