Frawley


Bang Bang Bang

Recommended Posts

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

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

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.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
