Frawley is not up to it

Featured Replies

Ever since his AA year he has been putride. Consistently beaten one on one and a lazy fat [censored].

He is supposed to be our best defender, a senior play and a leader but he just does not perform. EVER.

Replace him with Joel MacDonald who gives 100% not matter what.

 

When you get smashed out of the middle it makes his job alot harder, can't blame him for being abit frustrated, if we want to improve it has to be done in the middle.

 

He is just not interested,pea heart effort

Brent Moloney Mk. II

Having said that, he was probably in our best six today...which shows what we're working with.

Edited by Chook

He isn't our problem.

Ask yourself, if you were a free agent key defender would you choose to play for a team where the midfield will get slaughtered weekly? He is at a hiding to nothing.

 

This thread is absolute garbage - there are 17 clubs who will be chasing Frawley when he is available - MFC better get their act together and re-sign him fast!

Those times when Brown took marks well in front, you need to look at what happened in the goalsquare. The Brisbane forwards work really hard to give Brown a chop-out and get him into space. Nobody in our forward line even tries to do the same for our FF. Our team is seriously lacking in cohesion.

Not only that but he rarely gets a chop out from a third man up or players filling the space for the forward to lead in to. He wasn't too happy with Terlich on one occasion today as he hadnt worked back to fill the hole allowing an easy lead-up cheat mark to Brown. There's times where he hasn't been up to scratch but today (and last week) he did his job. There's others I'd be looking at well before him (for instance McDonald who needs a run in the 2's).

I counted atleast 3 different players kicking into the man on the mark today (1 of which resulting in a goal, thanks Shannon) and Chip wasn't one of them.

There's obviously a few problems with the list but to pick out Frawley doesn't make any sense.

I'd seriously look at the midfield before crucifying any defenders.

The difference to the AA chip & the 2013 chip is that teams have negated his run out of Defence. Also with Rivers gone its basically Chip & Garland running the backline.

We need to get a B+ - A grade defender to help the guy out.


Omfg!! Ppl on here have no idea! When u have zero pressure on the midfield putting the ball into 50 what chane have u got! Clearly just looking for ppl to blame at the moment.

frawley was good pea hearted my arse!!

absolute morons on here questioning his attitude and all manner of stuff based on warped perceptions, doing a decent job playing in defence for a poor team I reckon

Those who have no idea about what goes on at the club and how hard frawley is working should stop being keyboard warriors!


Of all the people you chose to bag after that game you chose Frawley?!?! They guy who played well?!?

Wow. What an awful thread.

Next!

3 goals to Brown, Frawley did his job

Don't look at the player look at the team and the way it plays and the way it's coached.

We [censored] Mclean of and he was close to BOG yesterday, we [censored] Beamer off and he was close to BOG today, we [censored] Petterd off and he's getting a game with a team that's much better than us.

The coach isn't supposed to [censored] players off just because he doesn't like them, I'm not blaming him for Mclean, he's supposed to use them and develop them.

I doubt Rivers would have left if he didn't see our position as hopeless and that there is no future. So we get rid of Frawley next and replace him with what; another washed up reject.

 

The only thing is, if we trade Frawley, we will have a hard time replacing him.

So while he's out of form and frustrating, he is still a very important player, he'd leave a huge hole in our backline if we got rid of him.

On top of that, if we did trade him for draft picks, we'd then have to attract a backman via free agency and players won't want to play here.

Only Frawley would let Jonathan Brown eat him for breakfast at 31 years old. Why this guy is in the leadership group is beyond me.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
