Strategy Welcome James Frawley to the HFC

[Roughies Boys]

I think some people are forgetting what a good defender this guys has been particularly in 2010 & 2011 and I'm confident that he can re-capture this form at a quality team like Hawthorn.

I rule this year completely out of the equation as he has been played out of position in the worst attacking team in the comp.

Over the years, playing in defence he has always done really well on guys like Franklin, Reiwolt, Hawkins etc and can also play on small, mid sized forwards too.
He's durable, only one hamstring that I can remember, back in 2013 and is still only 25. Also averaged close to 19 possessions a game back in 2010 & 2011, so can also get his hands on the ball too.

I think he has just gone stale at Melbourne the last few years, which isn't a big surprise with all the drama's on and off the field.

Be more than happy for the Hawks to offer him around $2mil - $2.4mil over 4yrs and then it's up to him.

Hopefully staying in Melbourne not having to move down to Geelong will be an advantage to us as well.

Chris Scott was asked on the couch if they think they got him......he had look on his face which suggested they had him, he topped it of with a dirty sfellowing smile.


Can we please start a new thread on Dylan Shiel to Hawthorn. Big Moose, I miss you!

Hate Chris Scott!!! So expecting the Frawley to tell Dees this week if he is gone

 

[Holy Rioli]

Just remember this time last year everyone thought Buddy would be wearing Orange and Charcoal. Whilst I doubt Frawley is coming to us I wouldn't be surprised if he ended up at Collingwood based on what Buckley said on 360 a month or two back (or the way he responded when he was caught out by Robbo).

Big Moose is dead, he got delisted by Brisbane Lions

 

[The Kipster]

James Gwilt was just delisted by the Saints. Any interest?

Yep, he can scrub my Aunties bawls

None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. No.

 

[Roughies Boys]

Could this be like a Buddy situation, Geelong the distraction, Hawthorn the destination...?

 

[MrFujiMoto]

Often the team talked up to have their man do not end up getting them. I hope we drive up the price and have him land at the cattery

2.5mil for 5 years? i say we already have driven up the price.

Only time will tell

 

[TyHawk]

Damien Ferett used Hawthorn as the smokescreen to divert attention away from HIs Cats by his boss Fat Tony who also is a Cat supporter!!!!! Make the connections yet?

Isn't that just his face...?

This was dirtier....it had the look of a man that had just deceived his very first girl into the sack!

and it was it his sister.

 

[Crankyhawk]

I was listening to the justification through Jon Ralph
O'keefe - retired
LRT - retired
Malceski - leaving
Money in the bank apparently

Money for 2 years. By then goodes will have retired and maybe Tippett gone (injury/concussion). Money for dangerfield.

Media are morons. Did they mention the following;

Parker will want to triple his salary - big offers will come for him
Hannebury will be looking for his big contract - massive offers will come for him and he will become a free agent in a year or two
Kennedy will put his hand out - massive offers will come
Cunnington and Lloyd will not be on rookie wages forever
Buddy's salary doubles either next year or the year after - and then stays there for about 5 years
They will need to resign Tippett
They still do not have a replacement for Pyke
They still do not have a crumbing forward worth their salt on the entire list.

Hope we make an offer to Parker.
By my estimates Buddy's yearly salary will need to more than triple as of 2016 for the remaining 7 years.
Doubt they'll re-sign Tippett unless he picks up. Been s**t.

Agree with Tippett. He is a very one dimensional footballer and he is never out there.

Everyone will be chasing Sydney's stars. Not only do Sydney have to fit them in, they also have to do it with a reducing salary cap as CoLA is phased out.

D
Dont be so naive young one.

Do they lower 'the cone of silence," dip?

 

[Randy Campbell]

The Hawks will trade for someone out of the blue, everyone will say why and we paid overs and then in 3 years time it will be a masterstroke.

 

[Thaihawk]

Hopefully we can drive up his price if he is heading to Cat land.

Is driving up his price the Geelong motivation, too ?

 

[spudmaster]

The increase in the base salary cap is likely to offset the phasing out of the COLA, at least in absolute $ terms. Hence why Buddy's salary increases after a few years - there will be more room to accommodate it.

That and the shoe phone.... realistically Frawley would have known a long time out (last year), that he was leaving the Melbourne football club, an agreement would have already been met between Frawley and the club of his choice a long time out.
