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

It's also complete crap

    Fair enough J you are right to point out the error, but I dont think M2W has deliberately made it up. I am sure from what I know of M2W it is just an error.

    I personally felt that Frawley's game was reasonable and I for one has serious doubts about him. I am still unsure of his ability to handle a power forward but he showed enough Sat night to show he could be a useful player. Cheney showed a little bit too and I thought his disposal and decsion making were a feature.

    Pretty poor error to make and anyone with half a brain should be able to pick it up.

    For someone to get 96% then they would need 25 touches with only one error, and as it's well known how many touches he got...

    If you're goign to use stats to win in a debate then you should at the very least check to see if they're correct.

    72% puts Frawley in the bottom third efficiency rating for the team, and that is not very good.

    Yeah, but then I thought he played well and many demonlanders put him in their votes. He got a bit of the footy and we shall see if he can move forward with a bit of confidence and become a handy player for us. Confidence is a massive part of decision making.

    Jarka, i'm 100% certain they said Frawley got 96% disposal efficiency in the Sunday sport section of the age.

    If anyone still has it- there was a category which was called 'the ball winners' or 'the numbers', i can't remember. It had three Melbourne players, one was McLean, the other was Frawley and the other one i forgot. It had all of Frawleys stats, including the disposal efficiency.

    EDIT: Here we go, bottom of the page. http://www.realfooty.com.au/news/news/hawk...087.html?page=3

    And my bad, i just looked at the 96% and thought it was disposal efficiency, i should have looked up to Hawthorns first one and saw it was game time. My fault.

    This is where you got it from

    James Frawley: (18 disposals, 4 contested possessions, 5 marks, 4 tackles, 96%).

    But just think about it for one second...how could you possibly get a rating of 96% from 18 disposals? Clearly no matter how you think look at it they've made an error.

    Sadly Frawley did not have a great game disposal wise. Was he better than previous years? Yes, but he's still behind a fit Rivers, Warnock, Garland and Martin. I'll be rapt if he can turn things around but there are other players who I think are just better footballers.

    But please don't try to sell the lie that he has great disposal.

    Someone had Sylvia in their votes as well....but his problem isn't just decision making, his skills aren't great and it's the reason why most people were surprised that we picked him up in the first round.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
