Hawks list manager Graham Wright now on Trade Radio: "Frawley is contracted for 4 years, we're hopeful he can play 5 to 6."

To me this DOES suggest a 'play-on " clause.

Honestly I think we are well over the line for pick 3 and I think the Club has been aware of this for some time. 95% positive that we will be properly compensated. There is, however, that MFCSS bit of me that thinks that we will get totally screwed and will end up with an end of first round pick.

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?

Yes... yes they can.

Everyone wants to win a flag but they are not the easiest thing in the world to come by - however if you wanted to go to a club where you are going to get immediate success - you would pick one of four teams - Hawks, Swans, Freo or Geelong.

This "end of window" theory does happen to all teams but you try and stop that happening by developing your youth and recruiting well - something that all four of the teams does ( although Lyon/Freo is not as big on regeneration as the other 3).

Bottom line is that if you want to leave your club for instant success you couldnt go past picking Hawthorn.

 

Not quite true, we still have Jamar. But I'm not surprised that no one remebers he was an AA ruck one year.

It's probably because he's done bugger all since and did bugger all in the lead up to his AA year.

Yes... yes they can.

? not port ?


Well I reckon they've left out some punctuation in this :

Frawley leaves Dees for premiers....... :huh:

probably supposed to be ...

Frawley leaves. Dees for Premiers !!! :)

FWIW, Port supporter on BigFooty suggesting that Kevin Bartlett mentioned the contract details on SEN this morning as being 4 years with a trigger for a fifth and it being 700,000 a year. We live in hope.

Yes... yes they can.

These top teams will be forever in their premiership windows thanks to the buffoons that run the AFL that allowed this FA farce to morph into!!!

And teams like ours who try to develop players for the future will stay just that,

I don't for one moment begrudge any player who has put in 8 years to a club that has failed the way we have so spectacularly to take advantage of his few remaining years to seek success elsewhere !!

But something needs to be fixed with the system pretty quickly or the AFL will lose with increasing rapidity more fans from nursery / struggling clubs!!

Sorry maybe i went off piste for my anti FA rant!!

 

? not port ?

ooops - add them to the list.

I guess I just scratch my head at posters suggesting that a player who is looking for success is mad to go any of the four clubs I mentioned ( and Port).

Poster were ridiculing Geelong saying they are finished - maybe they are finished but you stall decline by getting in players like Frawley and Clark to improve your list.

It's probably because he's done bugger all since and did bugger all in the lead up to his AA year.

So so true!

agreed

How long does it take to plug numbers into a formula????? :huh:

Oh thats right....there isnt one !!! :rolleyes:

I think we all want him to earn $1 more than entitles us Compo Band 1. Don't want him earning too much :)

I'm feeling all we need is Eddiewood to be screwd over by FA as much as us and his natural winging and whining will force AFL house to change it up. We need Collingwood to be down in the dumps with us. Love Eddie!


I used to find it odd seeing Melbourne players in opposition jumpers but seeing Frawley in the Hawthorn jumper didn't have any impact on me.

He looks like a Hawthorn player!! now if he joined the Cats, that would look strange to me

no they are fine tuning the formula on the run.....................normal afl practice................nothing odd here


come on just announce the compo

bloody hell the AFL are useless

They are pretending that they're working on it. Wouldn't look good if they came straight out and gave us pick 3.

I think they are waiting for Hird to be sacked

  • 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.
