James Frawley Appreciation Thread

[Jaded No More 68,867]

Don't think this beast of a man-child is getting enough love on here.

He has to be one of the best young KP defenders in the AFL. Week in week out he takes on a variety of players and consistently beats them, then has the balls to back himself and break the lines to set up the play.

Frawley is the sort of player that makes me so excited to be a Melbourne supporter. Bloody brilliant!

could be our first AA for some time

I posted in the Oh Yeah thread that he is the best defender I have ever seen play for Melbourne, and don't let my young age dilute that statement. Simply amazing today.

Yep, for anyone who ever had to sit through the Nicholson-Holland-Carroll hat-trick of crapness... this one is for you

listening to sen on the way home from a WIN today, i heard an interesting stat on Frawley... He had his 25 disposals, where his opponents could only muster up 4... yep 4 disposals.

Yes young CHIPPA is getting better as the weeks go on.

[Gorgoroth 12,924]

Heard that too, only 4 disposals against.

BOG today by a mile.

Chip is getting better by the week, showed good glimpses last year and is really going great guns this year so far.

Chip (L)

How good does he look running out of defence and shrugging of opponents!

He's become a powerful boy now, & getting stronger every year.

Well done Frawls, You make us Proud.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,024]

Yeah, he was pretty damn good today.

Yes Yes Yes i am glad u mentioned his name IMO he was a massive dud

If he is not an AA this year he will be by next year. Just gets better and better. Someone else commented on how easily he brushes off opponents, he is incredibly strong, and will only get stronger. WOW

[jabberwocky 2,301]

Today he was superman, fair dinkum could do no wrong.

[DeeM 42]

another thing i love is ability to back himself, and run, and he isn't slow

[dee-luded 2,959]

Another thing I love is his hitting targets & his decision making, both defensively & offensively.

[Guest watts04]

Plenty of love here - he will be a man mountain soon

The fact he played on Tippett, Burton and the Porpus shows his flexibility

In the 4th QRT, when he beat his opponent the AFL members wing, shrugged a tackle, and kicked to advantage....it was game changing!!

I was with a mate today who has been living in the UK for the past 18 months, and never rated chip that highly,and he was amazed how much he had come along in that time.

Were on a winner with him.

[Guest 45 double agent]

were do you start, hes a weapon, chips a young B Lake.

Next week he won't have much of a challenge but I can't wait for our match against brisbane he will have a massive challenge on his hands, it will show his trues talent

How do you see the matchups for that one? Frawley to Brown and Warnock to Fev? Or will Garland be up and running by then and take on Fev? Perhaps Warnock is a better choice on Brown because he's got a bit more size and strength? This is going to be a really interesting game to see how Bailey coaches and the choices he makes.

Yeh I wasn't to sure just thinking that, but I think that they will play Warnock on brown and frawley to fev. They will bring rivers back for that match so he can be the third man in the contest. It will be a real challenge for a young defense. We can stop one but not the other

Yes i got a great view of that run on the members wing-it was fantastic. The whole team played like that in the last Q

Great game chip- Keep Richmond Scoreless next week-NO MERCY AT ALL B)

Sensational player, looking forward to our game V Brisbane to see how he goes on a big power forward thats when the football world will stand up and notice how good he is!

What happened to 1 week at a time?

We may have to play one player short up the ground.

Double team Brown,he is red hot form atm. I'd play Frawley on Brown, Brown will out muscle Warnock, I dont think Warnock has the pace to go with Brown,he wont out bussle him. I'd double team Brown in a contest,maybe have JoelMac try cut across in packs, Garland on 'Fedup' Favolia.

Not sure if 'old man' Rivers will be ready to go in time.
