How many unrestricted free agents that have said: I will leave my decision if I stay or go till seasons end.Tthen re-signed with that club?

None that I can think off.

I am 99% sure he is gone at seasons end, same as all the others who have played this "waiting game"

I hope he stays. We have become a FA feeder club in recent times for obvious reasons. Now it's time for it to stop. We are on the improve and good loyal players like Dunn are showing the way.

If he goes I hope we get decent compensation or I will be [censored].

End of rant.

Cloke.

Boak did something similar but I don't think he was a free agent.

 

Don't disagree with any of this, but unlike others you are not allowing what we as supporters feel very uncomfortable about regarding his contract, with how he is actually playing.

I have always felt very uncomfortable with FA. It's a killer for the poorer clubs and will remain so in its current format. His contract was front ended I believe and this may affect the compensation we would receive for him.

Your a fan of his from my readings here. Trust me I hope he stays. He is a good footballer for us. He will be a very good footballer in a very good team. AFL is about team and ours has be so bad for so long. For me our biggest asset is also a liability in that we have one of the best coaches you could possible get in Roos. I just wish all this 2 years 3 years then a successor will resolve itself soon. 5 years plus sounds good to me. :)

I think Frawleys kicking is average. Many here question his decision making, but some of that is about what other team mates should be but are not doing off the ball at times.

He plays his best football in defence, no brainer there.

Yes your right thanks. Cloke did an awesome job pushing up his price

Still reckon Frawley is in our best 10-12 players, and we need all of them to stick around. He smashed Jones today and looked good down back with some nice dash. Can't think of a player who didn't stuff something today, Frawley did also.

Would much prefer he stay than go, would say some great things about us as a club. Sadly I reckon he will play round 1 next year at full back on gunston for the Cats.

I've been in the keep him camp until today I thought some of his lapses cost us the game and when the ball went through his legs it was embarrassing. Terlich got clean bowled too, how can that happen to AFL footballers.

And the shank of Vince and the poor handball of Jones that coughed up goals. Yet we only get stuck into the whipping boys.

I think you answered your own question in a way - it doesn't happen to AFL-calibre footballers...

The Dockers are chasing Frawley hard.

And he'll get a first class look at them this week.

I thought he was good today, provided run and had a few choice intercept marks, but I was thinking while he was back there that Dunn was getting less footy due to his presence - and with Dunn so superior to Frawley ball in hand it hurt our rebound. And Garland has no touch, he is making simple errors he hasn't made for 3 years.

But let's not kid around - if we had displayed basic skill execution in the first quarter we would not have lost that game.

But kudos to the Dogs - they have some good kids.

Perhaps that's because this is a thread about Frawley.

There were plenty of poor decisions made by our players today and perhaps we should start a thread about each player.

He was excellent for the first three quarters, completely shut out a player who has been average at best all season.

His last quarter was terrible and finished with his young inexperienced opponent kicking the final two goals through rudimentary mistakes.

If he wants to see where this club is heading before making up his mind, he should accept he is as much a part of the problem as anyone involved.

Our experienced leaders should not be making these errors, especially one who wants the kind of money he is looking for.

The Dockers are chasing Frawley hard.

Yes they are but they are not willing to pay the world for him, which they have made clear

Yes that would be the case. However a major sponsor has no problems with putting players on the books as employees

A point much missed

Pavlich.

Yes your right thanks. Cloke did an awesome job pushing up his price

Isn't that his prerogative? Much like Frawley's.

Just acting on sound advice, most would say.

I don't think he was on Bontempelli. He was on Stringer for the last quarter.

I watched the replay. He was.

Bontempelli should give Frawley half of his goal of the year prize

What a pathetic effort , had 2 chances to clear the ball and was completely useless and basically handed them the goal

If we get a top 5 pick for Frawley we will be overcompensated thats for sure

You like stirring the pot, don't you, HH?


Thought he was gone for sure while playing up forward but Roosy putting him down back (where he belongs) gives me some hope he'll stay.

Frawley destroyed Liam Jones today. When your opponent gets subbed off you've done your job.

the problem with this adjudication is it assumes a one sided roe for the player. This doesnt exist any more. How many times do we hear the emphasis on players up and down, or defensive as well as offensive etc. Works other way too. Offensive as well as Defensive.Chips defensive game is largely brilliant. His proactiveness into a forward thrust style of passage of play often gets the ball returning quick smart....or stuffed up. A lot of his passing land the supposed recipient a booking at the inpatients !!!

 

Perhaps that's because this is a thread about Frawley.

And yet you mentioned Terlich ! There were plenty of errors made out on the ground that shouldn't be made.

The constant bashing of Frawley is doing my head in ( not by you) . I have no problem on a emotional level on those that wish to bash him over the contract negotiations - we want all players to be loyal and sign up on the clubs timnetable - not the players. But the bagging of his form is purely motivated or clouded by his reluctance to re-sign (or because he is already gone) and is just not an accurate portrayal of how he has played this year.

Frawley destroyed Liam Jones today. When your opponent gets subbed off you've done your job.

Mind you, Liam Jones isn't much of a scalp...

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
