Highly unlikely at this stage his kicking will get better. Just like other sports once the technique is ingrained it’s hard to change. 

True for a lot of players but mostly because they kick well enough and just make marginal improvements. Get someone who's technique is shoddy and you can break them down and start completely from fresh if you've got someone who can teach it and a player willing to work at it. We hired Choco for this exact reason.

    Aaron Davey seemed to fix his kicking up pretty well

    Tanner Bruhn has the look of the next Giant to leave after serving his mandatory 2 years.

    Certainly has speed and seems to Mark well, that  kicking action seems very awkward. 

    Might look awkward but the crucial factor is his drop and if that's ok then the ball will go straight.

    If his drop is too awkward and slow Then he will be caught holding.

    From the highlights he Probably didn't kick a  classical drop punt but he seemed totally comfortable In his disposal and like in cricket if it is a trait that succeeds font changes it. Ie if it ain't broke don't fix it.

    Alls good I reckon as he played on and that's far better than what Gawny does.

    I like the name Fraser. A great name for a cult hero I reckon.

    List balance/needs pick rather than best available, imo.

    He could be the point of difference we need in our midfield mix, I like it.

    Speed and endurance are two things we don’t have near enough of

    Based on what limited vision I've seen and what I've read appears a good speculative pick

    Interesting kicking action.  Reminds me a bit of Derek Kickett.

    Reminded me of Phil Krakeour's kicking style. It looks unorthodox but on close inspection seems to be due to him keeping his arms down so the ball drop isn't far. I'd assume that's sensible for a tall player.

    Welcome aboard Fraser Rosman I have a really good feeling about you and your potential impact on the team, listen to the coaching staff Mark Williams in particular and you could be that critical missing link that we have all been crying out for.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Dont be deceived by the kicking action. He actually drops the ball lower and closer to his foot thereby alleviating and minimising margin for error. He wont fudge many at all! I like what he brings, Pace, Agility, Poise, takes a great contested grab and kicks very well! Stay Tuned, some serious X Factor from what I've seen.

    Like all highlights they only show the best of the recuits not the blunders so we need a better sample of the player and you need to see what he does when his team does not have the ball, shepards, blocks, spoils, chases, tackles and knock ons.

    I have watch football since 1953 and I am amazed that people still don't value athletes who have height, endurance and speed very well but the this year the No 1 draft pick has some of these and yet pick 34 seem to have the same attributes and we tend to devalue him because he is pick 34.

    I will make a prediction this player will become an elite player provided he put his mind and soul into the game, he reminds me of a young Koutoufides.

    Thought the same thing. The action looks a bit odd, but it looks reliable for those exact reasons you mentioned.

    Agree there the lad certainly has quite a bit going for him but he needs to bring the bits together ( and here Mark Williams expertise  comes in to play)! And of course a pick in last years draft at around 34 has so far performed very well for us, so I’ve got my fingers crossed for this one as well.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
