Frawley is not up to it

[Green Machine 63]

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.

[fired up 77]

He is just not interested,pea heart effort

[Ted Lasso 16,923]

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.

[waynewussell 4,092]

He rarely has a bag scored on him and even today he was one of our better defenders

[drdrake 3,045]

I actually thought he was ok today

[Brayshaws' Helmet 143]

there's dumb threads, then there's this one

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

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.

[Hardnut 327]

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).

[Carlos Danger 380]

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.

[Red&BlueBlood 61]

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.

[Soidee 1,496]

Pea heart who shows stuff all interest....his attitude stinks.

[The heart beats true 16,383]

If you think we suck now, wait until Chip goes.

[The HuLK 139]

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.

[Lordweaver 235]

frawley was good pea hearted my arse!!

[Lordweaver 235]

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

[Soidee 1,496]

Those who keep supporting Frawley need to reassess their football brains.

[The HuLK 139]

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

[Axis of Bob 10,266]

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!

[Lordweaver 235]

3 goals to Brown, Frawley did his job

[Dee Fan 3,247]

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.

[ThreeOneSix 953]

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.

[REVILOLI 13]

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.
