Frawley will be ok, he just needs time. I have no doubt that he will be in our best 22 (maybe 18) in the near future 1-2 years. He likes to take the game on and from where I sit this is what we have been lacking. We have played boring football and not taken the game on. So what if he makes the odd mistake, its the only way you learn. Imagine what he will learn not getting one of the best couple of forwards each week like he was this year. The only down side with frawls is his kicking but i'm sure that can be improved - its certainly lot better already then some of best backmen over the last 15 years.

The big problem that I have observed with Frawley is that he seems to lack athleticism, ie a vertical leap to effect a spoil and the ability to keep himself upright in the marking contest.

Until these things are addressed he cant hold down full back.

He doesn't need to play CHB or FB to be a key contributor in the future. There are plenty of good players that lack the above yet are great players because they can take the game on so not sure I can agree with you there.

Played VERY well on Saturday. Will eventually push Warnock out of the team IMO.

Future KPP defenders: Frawley & Martin taking the monsters, Garland taking the talls and smalls, Rivers takes the third defender and zones back to do what he does best.

Very promising backline.

Agreed with the like of small defenders like straus pettered buckley and grimes and possibly jetta or bennel, could develope nicely.

Two years in the system and we expect a finished KPP product. I don't get it either.

I think he's got the tools to being a good fullback too and I believe he should be groomed as that.

Groom him for his best position and with Martin, Garland and Warnock and KPP talls being worth a little bit more then usual in, say 2010. We're in a good position to trade.

Agreed. KPP take a long time. We trade him we might get a pick in 50+ but not much else. Worthy of holding onto. Give him another 2 years and then we will see.

back pocket, that's it. stef martin and warnock for the monsters, garland and rivers for mediums, maybe bell and whelan for the littlies

Agreed Jumbo, Garland on mediums like o'loughlin/o'keefe types or smalls, or forward. Not on big bodies.

Martin will obviously take the match up in defence on the bigger bodied forwards, either F/backline - H/backline & swinging forward when matchups allow.

'09 - Whelan - Frawley - Martin -------F/B

...... Garland - Warnock - Rivers -----H/B

96% efficiency says otherwise.

The efficiency rating doesn't tell you if the disposal was to a player in a good, bad or worse position. I prefer to make my analysis on what I see on the ground, not the figures on a pice of paper afterwards.

Watch the game again.

so in that case you're talking about his decision making rather than quality of disposal.

I watched him close enough the first time, i thought his disposal was good. The stats back me up.

Agreed, I thought he was very good. 70-80% you can read either way. 96% is indisputably good.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
