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

Posted

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

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.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
