Will you please stop replying to posts that have umpteen pictures on them! My scroll finger is growing warts!

Sorry, but it was the post you responded to!

I believe the club has been told we have pick 3

I really hope trade week can start in earnest so we can forget talking about such garbage! Leave the song alone!

Yes. All this discussion already and nothing achieved! Can't wait until next week! But maggotwood may have thought that would have been around low 20's

Welcome DaleDee. The only other thorn it that story is the notion being bandied around that he had this offer from Hawthorn in January and that was the reason he put off talks with MFC. Because of this MFC were not entertaining a big contract and prepared for life without. Anyhow, nice introductory post!

"In three successive years they have lost Jared Rivers, Colin Sylvia and now Frawley, all to clubs in the premiership window." Interesting quote from the Hun. Do we really care now about Colin Sylvia?

No sarcasm there. An absolute waste giving away a top pick for a player that will only last another couple of years. Add to that, if its not Libba or Bont, NO DEAL!

It wasn't how he was rated, it was "Can we do without him?" And that is what 2014 was about. Shift him forward and see how the backline copes. Frawley was great one on one but disposal was and still is poor! Of course he is! Will be a gun! As above, still a very poor disposer of the pill and that hurts!

Lea & Perrins

Absolutely not! End of story!

Yes. I fell asleep while reading it!

Expect to hear from Danger by Monday!

Nor in the same sentence!

Pretty crap is an understatement!

And that is where the AFL should have stepped in and said "Right, you guys have given Frawley a 5 year deal worth 400K plus a year so therefore whether you pay more of that in the first couple of years doesn't matter. It should be based on the average.

To quote Alred E Neuman - What, Me Worry? Its called restriction of trade!

Terrible news to wake up to! A true champion of our club and he will be missed. I remember going to a lot of games in the 70's - 80's and we didn't win many but it was always a visual feast when Mr R Flower got the ball. Best wishes to his family and farewell to a club legend.

They did. But unfortunately that is not where he is going. The system is the system and by the looks of it we lose out. I think we are used to it. However, on a brighter note i believe Danger is to make a decision by the end of the weekend.

Exactly. Unfortunately for us at this stage "Chip" has not done us a favour. A 4 year deal at the Hawks for around $450K per year won't get us a band 1 compo. More likely band 2 or 3. However the AFL after knocking back our compo pick and wanting to see us not lose out on the MC situation may give us the pick 3 under a "special" circumstrance. Won't hold my breath on that one!

We have met with Danger. The meeting was positive. Mahoney has come out in the media referring to what we would trade based on those conversations. We are waiting for Danger to say those magic words ' I want to play with the MFC' Obviously not sharing that info with his sponsor. Nor would I!

Not the sort of strong positive info they are looking for! Is it with anyone else?

But that was all part of the club preparing for life without Frawley. Did we need him in the backline this year, not really.

No surprise there! Now it all comes down to our compo. With every man and his dog trying to talk down what we should get it's now up to the AFL to grow some cojones and give us what we deserve out of this train wreck!

My only concern is that Franklin got a 9 year 1mil per year contract. Frawley goes to Cats its only 5 years at approx 500k per year. Does that equate to pick 3?
