Also Hirdy staying on at the Druggers. Essendrug is dying a slow, painful and very public death? What a day!

    What's a frawley?

    Frawley: Frah-Li. Rhymes with 'creepy crawley. Small insect that claims to have red and blue blood and a heart that beats true. On further inspection has no stomach, brain or ability to lead and requires a yellow and brown anus to closely follow otherwise would lose itself and curl up like a slater. Cashturnal: only seen at contract time.

    All those who have spent the last few weeks feeling sorry for themselves and suffering badly from MFCSS need to have a good look in the mirror. Pick 3 was never in doubt and was set firmer in concrete when Freo put in excess of $600k over 6/7 years on the table, forcing the hand of the other clubs wanting him

    Time to realise not all is doom and gloom, toughen up and play our part in setting the new culture as a club

    Greg Swan, take your whinging...tumblr_lsch8cEm2V1qea74a.gif

    Says it perfectly!

    Honestly, what an idiotic pack of trolls these whining clowns are. Try addressing the core issue of stronger teams annually poaching the lower teams before trying to rob the victims of free agency of their rightful, mandated compensation.

    So does anyone know how we will trade it for?

    And the Bulldogs' recruiters sphincters just tightened somewhat...

    They're going nuts on BF, of course I'm not helping :)

    Is it draft tampering for club A to make an over-the-top offer which they intend to withdraw if the player surprisingly says yes? If not, I can imagine deals being done between mates at different clubs to push up a departing player's value in return for something else in the draft. (Not saying it was in this case of course, just wondering)

    Can't wait for the abuse to roll in from the other clubs but it's exactly within the rules of F/A.

    People will whinge about how Buddy went at pick 18 or whatever, forgetting that if the Hawks had finished 2nd last in the same year they would have also received pick 3. Too many people look at it as 'one player is better than another, so the picks should represent that'.

    Sorry, but that's not how the system works at all.

    There's going to be epic whinging over this.

    We've arguably got 'overs' for three free agents - Scully, Sylvia and now Frawley.

    Might completely change compensation for free agents going forward.

    Supporters whinging about losing Frawley and not being fairly compensated is perfectly fine.

    Considering the AFL haven't exactly bent over for the MFC of late, I understand the concern of supporters.

    Also media outlets suggesting last week Frawley would only command 400k - only adds to the concern.

    Pick 3 is excellent compensation for a good stoppage backman, with limited skills, poor decision making - and below average execution.

    Yes especially how we have become so successful because of it.

    Still confused to how this works... free agency doesn't finish till next week. So do we have the pick now to trade which presumably makes us ineligible to recruit free agents? Or do we have to wait until free agency is over as well as the matching period for rfa leaving only 1 day to use it in a trade?

    I'm glad we have pick 3 but haven't seen anything to clarify this situation.

    KingDingaLing, that's the best summary of Frawley's abilities yet uttered

    Yeah well we got pick 49 or something rubbish like that for BOTH of Moloney and Rivers, so this evens it up somewhat. The whingers can get stuffed.

    Lets not [censored] it up for a change.

    Hello pick 3 and to a semi professional LaCrosse player that Cuddles Connolly/Garry Lyon met at the pub one night who was thinking of having a run around in the EDFL twos to keep fit. ;)

    I am so excited that this club is finally in charge of people who know what the [censored] they're doing.

    Hoo Effing Ray!

    Farren Ray has retired although Neeld tried to get him too.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
