I haven't watched any of our matches of late (thank God) due to lack of Foxtel, just curious as to how this youngster is going.

 

Done some very nice spoils and marks last night, but still has a lot to learn...

He is still pretty green, but the potential is undoubted!

He did some nice things last night........I think he will develop into a damn good player...........just going to take some time.

 

The kid is doing really well. He has a "footy" brain, is willing to run through the lines and despite an awkward kicking style, actually hits the targets. He is still skinny, but definitely has the body which will fill out.

At the moment he is getting no help from others around him, including some disgraceful efforts from 2 of the senior players last week, he still hasn't dropped his head. In a couple of years we will be saying how glad we were to pick him up as a KPP when available in the draft. Richmond would give their right arm to have him on their list today.


Had his colours lowered in the first quarter, but stood his ground and improved steadily as the match went on.

Took some nice contested marks as well.

I love that, like Belly, he has the guts to take the opposition on. He will try to break the line, and because he has pace, he is often quite successful in doing so. Kicking is amusing to watch, and his technique means that he takes a second longer to get boot to ball, but overall it's not a huge issue.

Will be a player given experience, and especially time to grow physically.

Frawley is playing pretty well for a young player, has done some very nice things. Still got a lot to learn, but they will come with more experience in the top level and with proper coaching.

So far his overall performance this season has been about 70 to 80%

Maturing nicely and already has some muscle to work with.

Backs himself to run out of defence (Looks like hes about to get caught but always disposes)

Be given big tasks to learn from

250 game player in the making

 

Yeah doing well, they are playing him on the likes of corey jones and motlop due to not big enough for KPP just yet so he having to deal with the nimbler quicker forwards and isn't being totally disgraced.

I think he's terrible. Hasn't done anything to impress me at all. Everyone says he has potential but I can't see it. Plays from behind (instead of in front), has no football brain, can't kick, can't mark. I don't know where the potential is meant to be but it's not obvious to me. Perhaps it's the bloodlines that ooze potential.


The reality is that he shouldn't have had to play more than a couple of games this year and a few more next, just to get a taste of it. He was recruited as a key position defender (probably full back) that we desperately need but he is still 10-15 kg and two pre-seasons off being that. If he grows 2 or 3 cm, that would be awesome too!

As supporters we have to be patient and realise he's going to be beaten more often than not over the next 18 months with a view to having a genuinely good full back for 10 years. That said, he's been a bit more competitive than I thought he would have been so far against players who've been in the competition 4-5 years plus.

i can acknowledge your concerns however he does have potential,

Just think about big Al Nicholson and Frawley

i can acknowledge your concerns however he does have potential

Explain your definition of "potential" ?? My 7 year old daughter has potential :)

He took some decent marks on the weekend.

It's widely acknowledged that the bigger guys normally takes a little longer to develop so don't judge him just yet. Give it another couple of years before teeing off.

    It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

    The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

  • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

    Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
