So if Whorethorn have announced it and put up (and taken down) an interview with him in their colours on the HFC website....

WHERE THE F**K IS OUR COMPENSATION PICK?!!!

WB and Carlton get told theirs almost as soon as Missy Higgins and Wait-a-while deals get stitched up.

Given Mahoney seemed free and easy mentioning the pick I also deduce this...that is, the clubs been given the heads up. Would make sense

Theres what happens behind doors between AFL house and Clubs and then theres the public consumption rubbish !!!

Does any body think that Frawley will get back to AA standard level footy next year Has he lost it? Was he just foxing all year with us? What are the opinions?

Frawley has always been very good playing big gorilla forwards even in his less than optimal seasons. Something he was denied this past season. That is the primary reason Hawthorn got him. Clubs in a premiership window can exploit his true worth. In a more functional defence he will be a far more valuable player now that he has more support. Would not be surprised if his best football is ahead of him.

This doesn't sit well with the "reverse diamond" theory. Most of our players are diamonds right up until the time they don't sign a contract extension or opt to leave and apparently they magically become become a piece of dirty old carbon.

I only care about one AFL team and have a low opinion of any player who changes teams by choice.

So I dream of the day when the MFC can finally say it has an AFL standard team again who can kick the Dawks backside.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
