If true that would be the final great performance of a club leader.

Redleg - I expect better - if you can suffer through the footy show have a look at exactly what Barrett actually said.

You have lost me, I don't follow what you mean.

I replied to a post that suggested, that if a reporter was correct, that Chip might not attend the B and F.

I said " IF TRUE" etc. What is wrong with that?

All good ( and a bit of tongue in cheek) - Just the misreporting on here that has grown legs. the original story that if Frawley goes he wont be at the B&F ( which is standard fare for players who trade out before the B&F) to Frawley is refusing to go. I have heard the story in two places and its a bit like "we arent say he is going we are just saying that we dont expect to see him at the B&F". Just thought this was demonland at its best.

 

Who really cares what happens to Frawley Yaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrnn!

He will be replaced and forgotton next year if he goes so why all the comment


damo never said he refused to got to the best and fairest, but if on monday or tuesday he says he is going then he would probably feel uncomfortable going.

I wondwr whose B&F he might be going to ? :rolleyes:

This is just a really unfortunate way for things to end.

Got drafted at precisely the wrong time and has gone through 8 years of crap but still fronted up every week and given his best, until this year.

He's been a great servant, but it's an unfortunate ending.

And who is going to replace him?

If losing one defender, who played forward most of the year, means we can beef up our midfield I'm good with that.

We played great defensive footy for at least ten rounds without Frawley there.


And who is going to replace him?

backline didn't miss a beat without him

Georgiou and Oscar Mac ;)


Yep, if we did that to a Cats player we'd be investigated, fined and stripped of picks.

Also interesting that in today's article, the figure to be offered by the Cats is $500k per year, but it says that Hawks, Suns and Dockers are also interested but that they wouldn't t be interested at over $700k per year.

The question then is if they would pay up to $700k per year, why would he go to the Cats for only $500k per year? That is $1m less over 5 years.

I think his contract will be for more than $500k per year. He was asking for $800k a short while ago. Also I don't think his recent form will have anything to do with his new contract.

still sounds similar to my early mail , Cats; 2-2.5 over 4 with a kicker to 5y..conditions apply. Ages ago now so we'll see what transpires. He's % 99.99 gone though. Such is life

I don't think anyone reasonably expects Chip will stay anymore. So surely the only thing we need to know now is what deal will qualify us for pick 3. If anyone reliably has that info could you please let us know so we all have something to barrack for in all this.

There's this from the AFL website:

COMPENSATION

A club that has a net loss of players transferring to/from other clubs as free agents in one transfer period is entitled to compensation via National Draft picks allocated by the AFL.

The compensation formula produces a points rating for players based on:

1. The new contract of the free agent;
2. The age of the free agent.

Draft picks are allocated to clubs based on the net total points for free agents lost and gained during the transfer period.

Draft picks will be allocated to one of five places:

• 1st round
• end of 1st round
• 2nd round
• end of 2nd round
• 3rd round

In applying the formula, an expert committee reviews the formula outcomes. The committee has the power to recommend alternative outcomes to GM – Football Operations where the formula produces a materially anomalous result.

And this from The Age a couple of years ago:

CLUBS HAVE BEEN WARNED COMPENSATION IS:


* Not designed to fully compensate a club for the loss of a player

* Designed to reflect the relative values of various players to one another

* Not designed to make concession for the ladder position of a club losing a player, but standardise compensation across five categories of picks.


In typical AFL fashion it appears that there is enough wriggle room in all this that they can make happen whatever they want to make happen.

seriously who could blame chip for leaving. he has had so many coaches for the years and no success. If hawthorn or geelong came to you of course you'd leave. You know next year you will be playing finals. This is why our club has to strat getting better on field.

But if he went ot a gold coast or gws then I would be more disappointed because then its more about the money probably.

Can't blame him for leaving. Will blame him for his lack of engagement, effort and leadership when the team desperately needs their senior players to set an example. Very ordinary attitude.

Why is the compensation not designed to fully compensate a club for the loss of a key player?

How is this a fair system?

It isn't. It's the AFL.

It has been designed by the players to allow easy movement.

It was never meant to be "fair"

We just have to get better at luring the players we want.

I agree with your third point but the system needs work. An unfair and manipulative system is discriminatory in my view.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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.
