There's only 1 bloke who can straighten us up forward....

Apologies to all the Nathan Browns of this world for getting them mixed up with their twin brothers but I believe Mitch has been playing mainly in defence lately.

With regard to Craig Cameron's comments about James Frawley soon after he was drafted, I believe he was being quite definitive and he maintained that we shouldn't be too surprised if he was capable of being used in a number of different positions and that he felt he was capable of kicking goals if moved up forward. At the time, he was much lighter framed and Craig thought he might start off on a flank or a wing. I don't know if Craig is allowed to post here now that he's moved on and become the virtual el Supremo at Tigerland but I'm sure some of his old mates might be able to confirm this with CAC1962 (or is it CAC1963?).

On reflection, as much as I'd like to see Frawley tried at CHF (even as a one off), I don't think it's going to happen this year. The NAB Challenge matches were probably the best times for experimentation and I doubt that our FD would take such a big risk in the first round of the season notwithstanding the absence of Buddy and the possible absence of Roughhead.

Agreed, foolish to break a defence thats just been gradually built over the last 2 years & is becoming quite a solid unit when together, whilst the midfield is half full of newbies & the forwardline is kids as a work in progress just starting.

The onslaught of goals if we broke up the defence would break the players spirit & cause disfunction & disharmony in the group.

Interesting proposal. Might be worth a try at least, although I think though it's a little bit of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Frawley is very comfortable and very effective in his position. It would be interesting to see how he'd move at CHF though and see if he is more effective in straightening the side up.

Could all be a moot point. I'm at the MFC Family Day at Eppworth Hospital Luna Park with the grandkids. James Frawley just limped past with his calf bandaged.

I had to laugh WJ. Times like these we can do with a bit of that.

He'd offer more forward than Frawley would IMO. (Referring to Warnock)

Truth is I don't know if that would be the case unless we witnessed Frawley up forward in the CHF position which Finks proposed. Have you seen Frawley up forward ?
