GOODBYE MR. CHIP FRAWLEY

[Bluey's Dad 3,419]

they're having trouble contacting eddie to get signoff

Beamer was a THREE club player.

True but until the move to Brisbane, he was always going to be remembered as a Demon (albeit one who was known for some of his post 6 pm antics) as his time with Geelong wasn't worth considering in the totality of his career. He will probably still be remembered as a Demon but one who walked out on the club because he was angry at what it had become.

[Red and Bluebeard 2,083]

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.

Only if the player decides to take advantage ...

[Red and Bluebeard 2,083]

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

More like making up the formula on the run to get the result they want, puzzle over whether the formula can be "spun", and if not, return to step 1 ...

Now would be a good time to announce pick 3.

[SaberFang 7,151]

The others were announced around 5.40pm I think on Friday.

Rather prophetic article from two months ago that correctly guessed Higgins compensation.

[ManDee 7,124]

People forget, it's not purely a money related thing.. It's age, player profile, achievements etc. we're losing the only All Australian player on our list.. We'll be compensated fairly, even if 17 other clubs sook about it.

Who does Mark Jamar play for then?

This wait is agonising.

Preparing for us to be screwed over, yet again.

Pick 3 is nothing surer.

Pick 3 is nothing surer.

I want to believe that, I really do.

But years of following AFL has reinforced to me that nothing is a certainty in this sport. Especially with the current administration

[Guest]

If I remember correctly, Higgins compo was publicised at about 5.30 Friday, so announcement is likely imminent.

I've done my make up too.

Who does Mark Jamar play for then?

Did he make the team or the squad?

A Facebook page just posted " confirmed Melbourne will receive pick 3"

If Facebook says it, it's good enough for me.

Must be confirmed then.

[Pipefitter 2,150]

We've got it.

I like this news, so I believe it. Nice!

[BIG JIM 508]

Hurry up and put me out my misery AFL

[Forest Demon 4,681]

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.

Apologies in advance for the juvenile comment but...

Seeing Frawley in a Hawthorn jumper just reinforced to me that we have have one of the nicest jumpers in the league. Check out the mug on him. I honestly never noticed when he was in red and blue. No hiding in that abomination.
