Frawley is not up to it


Green Machine

Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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.

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the
