Toast Farewell and thank you, James Frawley, a premiership hero

[5ammy]

Cheers Chip, form deserved another year but you just had nothing left in the body. Glad you got the flag you came for and all the best in retirement.

Yep, I thought he had another year in him too. Very underrated player IMO, will miss him.

 

[hfc70]

Thanks Spud. You done good.

 

[Books]

An underrated player, but personally much appreciated.

 

[deanc]

Bit of a surprise for me. Thought he still had another season in him.

All the best Chip !

A little surprised too - as I was told about a month ago of the several retirements pending, Frawley would not be one of them - he must of changed his mind...?

 

[TAITA]

Congratulations to him on an outstanding career, always considered in the top echelon of his position and role, he will be missed but I think it is the right call - no doubt he could have gone around again but he's got 238 bloody good games behind him and rarely lowered his colors - sometimes you just know.

I wish him and his family well in their next endeavors and thank him for being such a wonderful servant to our club. Always Hawthorn.

 

[SA HAWK]

Good pickup for us overall.

3 great games in the 15 finals series.

 

[The_Axeman]

Can't remember a big forward ever getting hold of us while Frawley was in the team.

 

[Yuley95]

Thanks Chip!

I was hoping he would play on for a season or two but i guess not. Very happy we picked him up and with what he provided over the past 6 years

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Can't remember a big forward ever getting hold of us while Frawley was in the team.

Very underrated.

 

[Aramis]

Great service, thanks for your contribution.

We will miss his presence in the backline no doubt.

 

[The Kipster]

Well played Chip, absolutely carved the 2015 Finals series....thanks for the great memories

 

[derp de derp]

I may have a terrible memory but I can count on one hand the number of times I remember him having a bag kicked on him. A very under appreciated player.

He played his role to a high standard for nearly all his time here. Thanks for everything

 

[kirbatron]

Farewell Chippa. our only true big fish.

thanks for the memories. great career.

 

[Flamin Joe]

I honestly forgot he was only there for the one Premiership, much like I was surprised he only just made it to 100 games this year. Just felt like he was around for much longer. Wow where does the time go?

All the best chip.

 

[SammyC]

We will only truly appreciate his talents next year when he isn’t there. Great player, perfect free agent for what we needed at the time. Thanks chip.

 

[Max Powers]

Farewell Chip.

Congratulations on your career and all the best for life after footy.

Always Hawthorn.

 

[vaughnie]

Thanks Chip. Gave everything you had every time you ran out on to the ground. Incredibly important member of the 2015 finals team. Enjoy your retirement.

 

[fieval]

A Key man in 2015... And a cracking player for us !

Thanks Chip and good fortune for the future !!

 

[detox]

Really disappointing to see all the negative comments regarding Frawley’s retirement on Instagram. Does being spiteful to a premiership Hawk make people feel special?

Anyway, fantastic career Chip! No Hawk will ever forget your 2015 Grand Final game! All the best in retirement.

I couldnt believe what I saw... incredible.

In hindsite, if we had have gone back to end of 2014 knowing what Chip would deliver per his Salary, you would select him again as an absolute no brainer.

Had some hairy moments with ball in hand but his kicking got better, and as a lockdown defender he did his job week in week out. Has good records against all the main forwards.

Its as if the nuffies bagging him cant remember us having Shoenmakers play full back.

 

[Mr Meeseeks]

Outstanding at his craft and criminally under rated, particularly on this board. Im disappointed he isnt going around a gain, I thought he had it in him.

Highlight was keeping the Coleman medallist goal-less in a Grand Final win, not sure many can claim that.

 

[Jethro!]

One of my favourite players. Rarely got beaten and and seriously toweled up some gun forwards. Stepped up in finals too. Often forgotten as one of our best in the 2016 and 2018 finals.

 

[marklar]

An excellent choice of KPP to bring in, played to his strengths and our team defence was better for having him in the role.

Thanks for everything James!

 

[Tall Tales and True]

Bloody fine full back & helluva' good bloke ... not easily replaced.

Always Hawthorn.

Would make a fine defensive coach....but think he deserves a break (short term)
