James Frawley

[Superstar swan]

I hope the COLA fork out 700+ for him.

Where will they get the money from though.

Oh wait.

Well ryan okeefe and lrt will be retiring which will clear well over 1 mill of cap space ....but I don't think we will be in the market for him

Swans will have the cap space however it wouldn't be sustainable to keep signing players on big contracts. Considering the amount of stars they already have.

He could go to any club if he wanted to. But i see it this way. He's deliberately waiting for the end of the season to do all of his contract news. Sure the pressure is mounting up on him. But the media don't quite get the stubborness of the frawley name.
Looking back at when james' uncle danny was still playing for st kilda spud went about it the same way.

Also he has said he wants to see what happens coaching wise. We should know something by the end of September.

Carlton are chasing Tom Mitchell and were shocked to find him to be on more then 400k per year.

 

[MrFujiMoto]

I thought the $wans retirement money was going to the Buddy and Tippet contracts when they really ramp up?

When you hear numbers like that you start to think how massively under paid some of their players must be

It actually makes me realize how unfair being able to pay players "Ambassador money" on top of COLA money really is!
No other team in the competition is able to do that!

Or maybe wish that AFL were just more transparent with the wages. Arent they effectively published in the US?

Was flicking through stations and heard Watson on SEN's the Run Home talking about Frawley and they were talking about a 7 year deal either being asked for or offered to him by the Dees. Is this something legit that I have missed or just SEN speculation?

 

[Sydswans0512]

Swans could make a play for him if they lose Mitchell and Malceski.
Retirements of
LRT
Goodes
Okeefe
Tommy Walsh
Rhyce Shaw

Goodes aint retiring. The rest, I wont argue

Erm, how much are you paying those two?

Barrett speculation from the footy show. According to Barrett that is what Frawley is asking for from suitor clubs.

 

[Sydswans0512]

LRT would be on close to a mill himself

 

[Superstar swan]

Erm, how much are you paying those two?

I would think okeefe would be on around 600k and lrt would be around 400k

 

[Sydswans0512]

I would think okeefe would be on around 600k and lrt would be around 400k

Theyd be lucky to be on 600 between them

You rekon, up until this year okeefe was an integral part of our team and one of our leaders.

 

[Sydswans0512]

Id say 350 for Okeefe and 200 for LRT

 

[Superstar swan]

Maybe I'm just being to extravagant with my salary guestimations, but I would have though lrt would have been on a lot more than 200 k. The number 1 draft pick can earn more than that in his debut year

A first year draftee doesnt earn anywhere near 200k

 

[Superstar swan]

A first year draftee doesnt earn anywhere near 200k

The number 1 pick vets around 80k salary and 2 grand every game they play. If they play every game they would get close to 200k

 

[Defacto]

geelong looking to sure up the defencive side of their game with acquiring frawley and geary (small def/tagger/runner)

What's the go with Geary there Defacto?

From memory, him and Selwood were best mates going through the U18's with Bendigo, and he probably would fit a need for us.

 

[Taylor]

Why wouldn't he be going to St Kilda?
There's a need, a family history and a wallet.
