7 years @ 600k reportedly offered by freo according to SEN.

Surely not.

If that's true we deserve more than just pick 3 :)

    We may deserve it but it won't happen, look at the Buddy compensation.

    We will get pick 3 as compensation, and we can use it, and by using it I mean as a negotiating tool. All those sides picking after us get pushed down the list, some of those sides will be very keen on a player and may offer a sweetener for us. ie. If MFC doesn't pick Brayshaw at 3 we will trade player X for your 2nd round pick.

    We don't deserve pick 3 based on ability/form, but i'll gladly take it any day

    anyone saying we deserve more is living in la-la land

    Frawley has been at 75% pace all year, and still finished in our top 10 players.

    He's good and will add ALOT to a team in contention with the need for a big experienced quality backman.

    Its a big loss for us. Denying it is so, won't change that.

    7 years for Frawley, Ross Lyon planning on leaving charred earth at another club when hes done?

    They won't care if it gets them a flag.

    Absolutely, and I think it's been forgotten amongst all the angst that an in form Frawley is an asset, and although he wasn't predominately used as a full back this year, he is still a premier backman

    I can live with the compo right now because of the position the clubs in, but we have to stem this flow of players leaving as soon as they get a wiff of that FA status

    Frawleys's been playing at 75% for more than a year.. :huh:

    Frawley hasn't played to his alleged capabilities since 2010. He may play to that level with another team. Who knows?

    But he won't with us so lets just forget about that.

    Roosy could work wonders with Picks 2-3.

    Mature player and an elite kid. (Hopefully!!)

    If Chip has been offered 7 years at $600,000 p.a. Then he has to take that.

    Good luck to him.

  • Quote

    Geez, that's a staggering offer. Would be hard to turn down other than the interstate factor. You'd have to set yourself up for life in another city for the better part of a decade.

    It's 1.7mil more than Geelong's offer.

    Fairly accurate quote from you gramps.

    People are worried about the Dees FA effect pppppppffffffffft.

    The way footy is going and the bloke who is coaching us,Its a given he will be up to his eras in talks with FA players from other clubs.

    Maybe we are the only ones living in this reality.

    See ya chipper,thanks and goodbye,roll on 2015 with a new team{as we will every year}.

    Frawley is massively overrated, couldnt tackle Bontempelli, lost that game for us, half arssed efforts week after week for years now.

    Pick 3 is huge overs. Bring it on....

    Yes, but you can see why teams would do it...i.e Lake

    AH THE FENCE, FIRST IN WITH THE NEWS,AS I ALLUDED EARLIER ( SEE MY PREVIOUS POST) SUGGESTING CRYPTICALLY THAT FREO WAS A LATE SUITOR! EVEN BETTER THAN BARRETT , "SHIP IN THE KNIGHT" ANCHORS AWAY IT'S FREO MAKING A LATE CHARGE!

    GEE IT'S GOOD TO BE "ONE THE MONEY" HEY MOON YOU STILL THERE ?? what do you make of this one eh?? What's that you say," Fluke" oh yeah fluke! my new avatar" Picket Fluke"

    Gee its good to have sources that really do know a thing or two!

    Bwah ha ha har!!

    Who exactly do you think you're fooling Picket?

    I think you'll find that I called it, and called you on your bluff.

    I reckon so!

    He had one good year in my opinion. His ball handling ability at times is average at best. I say good riddance and replace with someone that can defend and dispose of the ball properly. Its no point being a great defender if you give the ball back to the opposition all the time!

    , couldnt tackle Bontempelli, lost that game for us,

    I believe he is to blame for the GFC and Jack Watts as well. ( I secretly think he is the mastermind behind ISIL)

    Couldn't blame him for going for the sort of money being suggested. Can blame him for the [censored] about waiting to see the direction of the club etc and then playing lazy football looking suspiciously like avoiding injury.

    He has never shown any leadership qualities and pick 3 will be a great result for us.

  • Quote

    Pick 3 is great but does it truly replace an 8 year key position backman?

    He has 8 pre-seasons behind him, 8 seasons of experience and a fully developed football body.

    Pick 3 sees us having to start all over again.

    At least I have faith in those using these picks now.

  • Quote

    Freo has been right in the mix for a long time, and their offer is considerably better than Geelongs by the sounds of things, I really hope/think he will go to the dockers because us getting pick 3 would be win-win really.

    Holy Cow "Fremantle offers James Frawley $3 million five-year deal" latest headline from the Herald Sun. Serious money now on offer and way better than Geelong. No thinking needed take the money and run Chip

    • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
