Free agent Frawley's final night with teammates?

James Frawley fronts up to best and fairest despite speculation over future

By Ben Guthrie

MELBOURNE's James Frawley has fronted up at the Demons' best and fairest on Thursday night, despite intense speculation over his future.

The unrestricted free agent is yet to re-commit to the club, having put talks on hold at the start of the season.

Geelong, Hawthorn and Gold Coast are all in the race to sign the in-demand swingman, with Demons CEO Peter Jackson all but conceding last week that he set to leave.

Frawley remains a popular figure amongst his teammates and coach Paul Roos said he was content with how the 2011 All Australian had carried himself around the club this season.
