James Frawley

[Willy]

Spot on Gerks.

Defence was found lacking in some big games, thats not a lie

Starts in the midfield. Any defence will leak if the ball's coming in quickly and often.

Correct, so hard to blame frawley for his questionable form over the past 3 years  When they were a half decent unit he was a high quality FB and would be a massive addition to our structure imo

[the claw]

The Tigers don't have a single All-Australian-calibre player in their back line

Rance was a bit stiff to miss AA last year in case you weren't paying attention Jakey boy

no he wasnt no where near it.jakey has it spot on.  im absolutely sure our supporters see nothing but the possesions and have some sort of mental block when it comes to actually doing the job hes paid to do.i dont get the denial.
as for depth who can step in and perform anywhere near the required level. frawley would fix this and actually affords rance more freedom to rebound without the need to be super accountable.keep on hearing how we have an abundance of good talls when the opposite is actually the case atm.
if you cant develop em you trade em in when possible.

i think some supporters see the clangers rance throws up and have some sort of mental block when it comes to the actual job he's paid to do – stop forwards from kicking goals. i get the denial though.

frawley would be a good addition but i wouldnt pay the massive coin needed to bring him in

no he wasnt no where near it

No worries Chavo.
If Frawley played for us you woulda traded him a year or two ago.

Aye, reckon we get done every time an opp midfield starts to cheat fwd of the ball, our mids panic, structure goes out the window, they become reactive and we stop winning clearances. Not sure that's a back 6 problem though.

Hawkins kicked 2 goals against us, Tippett only 3, Petrie 1, Roughhead 0. The D seems to go better against these big fwds than Jake DeNiall gives em credit for. Cloke was the outlier.

All true, wont argue with that. Just reckon an extra tall especially one that is a stopper first, would take a bit of heat off Rance and Chaps who are both great rebounders and would stop us having to rely on Astbury or Pettard to take that Jessie White type 3rd Tall.

Still don't get it some of you.....

I get it perfectly bud. When was the last time Frawley played a good game ? Three years ago ?
I don't want him at Richmond. Do you get that ?

Doesn't matter a poo what you want bud. The RFC will no doubt make the decision, let's just hope it's not based on your thoughts...

The defender has put off contract talks with the Demons until he sees how the season unfolds and is understood to be a prospective target for a number of clubs, including Hawthorn and Richmond.

If the club at least looks into getting him and the decision is based on the club needs that would be acceptable for mine, not to look and pursue the option to recruit him would be negligent IMO.

[SCHammo]

be happy to take frawley I think he would a lot to the tigers.... rance, chaplin , frawley with the run off the flanks looks good.

frawely is good at melbounre but Richmond are at least 75% better then Melbourne so image how good he wpould be for us

  I agree. Reckon we'll have a good crack but not go overboard. I was more having a dig at those who might go nuts if we didn't mortgage the ME Bank center to get him.

Worth a crack now he's unrestricted. Don't need to pay overs for him and we can see where his priorities lie. Money or success? Though Hawthorn have both so he probably goes there.
