All things James Frawley - pick #3 compensation

[MC_9]

Its also the same with Ablett when he left Geelong, they won the flag the next year
Problem is that a high draft pick is the only thing we can use to replace the talent void

Its not like we can take the 600k saved and offer it to Will Langford, Because there is no ******* way he would want to play for us

100% agree.

As you have said, if we get Frawley we have essentially received Frawley and Pick 18 for Franklin.

100% agree.

Which is still unders for Franklin but could be a massive silver lining in the end

Chip will more than adequately replace lake, and your forward line looks more dangerous without Buddy in it because its far more random


You guys are reportedly offering 450k for Chip, we are paying Dawes 600k just to fill our cap
If they remove compensation for picks then our club will never rise up the ladder again and it will be the end of an even AFL as we know it

If you compare your 24 and under players with ours, Yours are probably better and more proven AFL players

If the money reported on SEN is right... I think I'm done with this game.

Nothing about terms in article though

Looks like frawley is happy to ride on hawthorns coattails to yet another premiership

 

[Sprout]

He'll do well at Hawthorn. He won't have to worry about any of that "leadership" nonsense. Just let the others do it for him.

Sweet mate. Chalk up a few Ws. No worries.

Did anyone honestly think this would work out for us? We are the MFC for **** sake. Even the good stuff is tainted, we got Paul Roos = super awesome, but then again he was never in it for the long haul. It reminds me of that Simpsons episode where Homer gets the monkey paw wishes, and no matter what he wishes for, something always goes wrong. "Hmm not bad, we'll get pick 3 for Frawley, good compensation, can use that to our advantage, oh wait the turkey's a little dry... THE TURKEY'S A LITTLE DRY".

Nice hot mustard.....

If we lose Frawley for pick 20 I might be done with AFL

We lost Franklin for pick 20

 

[Praetorian]

We lost Franklin for pick 20

Ok we'll trade you pick 3 for your premiership

 

[Topkent]

We lost Franklin for pick 20

Replaced him with pick 20 and frawley during back to back premiership

My heart ******* bleeds for you

 

[Hodgepodge]

Ok we'll trade you pick 3 for your premiership

Melbourne should get a higher pick because they finished lower on the ladder. We lost Franklin for Pick 20 because we won the flag that year. Melbourne should receive a Top 10 pick.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

My heart ******* bleeds for you

I hope you guys get pick 3

 

[MC_9]

We lost Franklin for pick 20

We lost arguably our best player, but still won the premiership. We could cope with losing him, and therefore got pick 18.

Melbourne can't afford to keep loosing talent. They should receive Pick 3, because losing Frawley will hurt them more then us losing Franklin.

TBH, I was also supportive of Melbourne receiving a priority pick. If Melbourne can't receive a priority pick, then under what circumstance does a team deserve a priority pick. If the AFL are not going to give it to Melbourne, they should get rid of it all together.

Fellow Hawks supporters, stop bringing up the Franklin compensation. It is completely different.

 

[Topkent]

It's an unfair comparison

Everyone knows Franklin is worth a shitload more than chip

But I'll bet my life savings we ain't grabbing the biggest FA next year on the market however

 

[HODGEYROAD]

Reality is with Free agency their shouldn't be any compensation for anyone

 

[Headless]

I was going to ask what you thought would have happened to this club if we lost, say, Moloney and Rivers for free.

But we essentially did.

So... yep.

 

[HODGEYROAD]

I feel for the you blokes, just hopefully with quality drafting you can turn it around.

 

[Topkent]

Basically we have one chance at moving up the ladder, bringing in a bunch of 27 year olds to help lift us to a middle road team, which in turn will hopefully allow us to keep players and maybe attract others

Agree... hence the line from Roos today about "not bringing in too many young players through the draft this year."

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

We do still need some young players though Roosy... don't Ross Lyon us.

 

[Bluelegs]

We have a shitload of youth.

 

[Topkent]

We have a shitload of youth.

Hahahahahahaa








Hahahahahahaah

 

[ThePuppetMaster]

We have a shitload of youth.

Yes, but the majority of our delistees will be youth as well (who didn't make it) - need to balance it out, especially when we can bring in highly talented youth.

James Frawley's motto:
Why do the hard work yourself, when you can just ride the coattails of others hard work

Anyone looking forward to this again next year with Garland, and/or (god forbid) N Jones?
