Frawley Form Could Mean No First Round Draft Pick

Nah, the AFL will come down with Evans and say no PP, and then give us the Frawley comp at ND4 as if they are doing us a huge favour...

It's all PR and Jackson doesn't seem to want a bar of it - he should saddle up and get out there ASAP and get Roos to join him in two weeks time.

    The only factors that matter in deciding compensation are age and salary. Frawley will be 26 next month and wants about $700,000 a year.

    Yep, so why are you writing an article about his form which has nothing to do with it????

    IMO the deal has been done and he is merely going through the motions and trying to not get injured.

    I think length of contract is also a factor rjay.

    PS. Not sure why quote font size went haywire,

    If we get no PP and round 2 compensation...then I think it's pretty reasonable to believe the AFL doesn't give a [censored] about this club including us supporters.

    compo based on age , $ pa of contract and length of contract value

    We can't miss both the priority pick and band 1 compensation. The AFL wont let it happrn

    But I assume the Frawley compensation formula is set down explicitly and if his contract is not big enough we dont get first rounder? On the other matter the priority pick formula is opaque and dependent on an economics professor. Is that true? And it is now also dependent on the latest thought bubble from the AFL executive about some player tragedy scenario as bizarre as that may sound. So summing up we could indeed be screwed on both fronts here, continuing the MFC curse.

    think the article was saying he might not get such a high contract value because his form is down

    says geelong might only offer 500k thus affecting compo band

    but as others have said it could have been locked in long ago and spud is in injury mgmt

    I have no evidence of this but surely this explains his performance. Roos should make a statement and drop him.

    Sylvia is now getting paid the same wages as a 15 year old at McDonald's and we still managed to get a second round pick for him despite an average 2013 season (although he did come 5th in out b&f)

    I found out Sylvia is playing for virtually nothing at a recent Richmond v freo game at the MCG - a knowledgable freo member told me at the game. Way below what the average 10 year player should be on.

    Now Frawley will get paid at least double what Sylvia is on and can anyone argue Frawley's 2014 has been any worse than Sylvia's 2013?

    The club needs to give Frawley a top 5-7 finish in the b&f.

    In conclusion , if Sylvia fetched us a 2nd rd pick, I still think there's a chance we'd be able to get pick 3 for chip.

    Band 1 compo will be our priority pick imo, the afl will make certain of it. I don't see him leaving for unders anyway between Hawthorne Geelong Freo the suns and the crows someone will offer enough

    I am in agreement with others who believe that Frawley was all stitched up by another club very early on and has just been going through the motions all season. Wouldn't be surprised that he suddenly finds form next year. It's almost like he is showing us his middle finger. Contemptible.

    I went to training about eight weeks ago cf.

    I think I mentioned on here that he looked totally bored that day.

    I agree with you the die was cast at the end of 2013.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
