All things James Frawley - pick #3 compensation

[Devastating Boris]

Ok so I've basically heard today the 800k price tag talk has eliminated a few teams that have already asked about him that there was no interest in. There are 2 successful teams that can make a play at that price however my mail is he is very happy to stay at mfc.

Gotta trust Taylor to pick footballers who can play. I can't be warned off draft picks for the rest of my life because of Statler (Harrington) and Waldorf (Prendergast)

Above: Prendo and Harro wonder where James Strauss' elite foot skills went?

Serious lols.

Frawley is one of the most overrated footballers in the AFL. The guy is an ordinary kick at best....he wants 800k????...please, spare me.

See you later you spud....or is that chip?

Time to throw money at Ben Reid, Hocking, Goldstein, Minson, Hurn and Nick Smith and hope that one of them sticks. We might be able to lure Smith through Roos' Sydney connection.

Pick 1 & 2 eh? Can't possibly stuff that up. In all seriousness scully wasn't a stuff up, but gws throwing the big bucks at him is.

You mean like how Taylor picked Toumpas instead of Wines, Macrae or Grundy?

 

[Crapulous]

To me it seems that he wants to stay but he's just put out a totally unrealistic amount to see whzt happens. On frawleys last 2 years who would pay that. That being said please someone take him, he's overrated and we could use the pick 2 on top of our well deserved 1 we'll get.

That was the year we had no one and Viney was doing the recruiting.

22-0....

Taylors first draft was last season

Oh that's right, Taylor was our 'big coup' signing.

Would you not want any of those players?

Of course I would want all of them, they would all improve our team. Ben Reid has re-signed I think though.

The problem is when we start desperately throwing cash at whoever will listen, we look... well... desperate. It has to be a measured, targeted approach like we took last year as opposed to wildly chasing any player with 'experience' who would listen/wasn't getting a game at their previous club.

Haha I know mate, hence me suggesting it casually on a football forum as opposed to applying for a job in our list management department

What I was getting at with my last post, was that with Clark retiring, I reckon the AFL will give us a priority pick.

So ideally, I would like to keep Chip, and trade in some more depth using our early picks.

use the money on Hogan!

I would piss Spud Frawley off and get some young bloke who can kick

Losing Frawley for a kid is the worst thing that can happen to this club.

It will only set us back further once again, - and we will be pretty much cemented as nothing more than a feeder team for the bigger clubs.

We need to break that cycle - it's critical. I don't care if we pay over for Frawley - we need to retain him and get our own free agency players in so that we can actually move up the ******* ladder!

I would happily spend all of Clarkes money on retaining Frawley, and getting Mundy as a free agent.

Then maybe even using one of our early picks to trade with GWS again - or similar.

 

[mrmonkey]

It's round 3 and we are already talking priority picks and compensation of pick 2or pick 3 if we can climb up the ladder LOL. I think I might start watching eastern ranges matches now, probably higher skilled.

Good idea but not Mundy. Too old. He won't come cheap like Vince and Cross.

Downie, Plowman, Jaksch and O'Rourke are all expiring from GWS at the end of this year.

Assuming they arent re-contracted, any of them could be got the same way we got Jed Lamb.

Downie used to be a skinny basketballer. Now he's looking at Boyd, Phillips and Giles as his competition for being Mumford's sidekick.

Plowman is a KPD prospect, and Jaksch looks like a swingman to me. O'Rourke was a highly touted mid who had injuries and couldnt break into our seniors (stop me if this sounds familiar).

He will still want big dollars, other teams will be interested.

I'm sure a lot of clubs are looking to loot your rejects and list.

But Melbourne are the club thats been willing to do deals - Carlton, Richmond and the Western Bulldogs just whine at us.
