All of a sudden the figure being bandied is 500k a year for Frawley. (Over 5 years)
Is that still paying overs? I wouldn't think so.
Take a punt Tigers.
Agree. $500K is worth it. $800K was ridiculous and I didn't want him for that. He is worth $350K to me but you have to pay overs to get free agents so $500k is reasonable.
Would still prefer Tomlinson though........
If he is worth 350k, what is your man Griff worth?
Frawley's value has plummeted for me on the back of two very ordinary seasons. Where do you think he will finish in the dee's best and fairest BT?
As for Griff, you will be paying for a guy with far more potential who has more footy left in him. He is also mobile 200cm who is very skillful below his knees and can take a great pack mark. He can roost it further than anyone else in the league. Those characteristics make him unique and he just needs to get his hands on the pill more. I thus would pay him $275k for 3 years.
Melbourne are a basket case. If you think you can judge anyone properly that has played there in the last 3 years than you are making a big mistake. And to ask me where he will finish in the B&F is just plain wrong. It has nothing to do with anything?
Your man has potential on his side but really it's only just that. He could be on the scrap heap before the middle of next year if he doesn't keep improving because what he is serving up is potential at the moment, not really results.
He has played 34 odd games out of a possible 110 odd in 5 seasons, and the reason for that mostly is form. Dusty was drafted in the same year and played 106.
I'd think 2 years at best is what he will be offered at 200k a year.
Anyway IMO we should have a real crack at get Chip Frawley.
