Player Watch Billy Frampton

[VinnieB]

I think he's the right call - best of luck to the big guy.

At the very least he can be serviceable on all three lines - yes he's not as "reliable" as Mcstay as a forward, but as long as he can impact a contest and clunk the odd mark (which he can do) that's all we can ask for him really. He's also a better ruck than Dan so gives us some options if we want to swing a few moves around with Cox and DC, and he can also play a role at CHB if we need to change things up on a Daniher/Hipwood type.

At the end of the day he's in the team, and all we can hope for is for him to crack in and play his role, and to hear his name being read out on the podium as he goes up to collect his medal.

He brings us the ability to throw the team around if things aren’t working. Can do a job up forward, whether it be keeping Andrews in check or as a goal option, or sent back releasing Howe up forward. Or pinch hitting in the ruck.

Billy and Billy kicking 4 goals each in the Grand Final.

i think about the amount of time that the young men spend on creating those cartoon thingies....shouldnt they be out chasing girls and getting pissed?

Game of your life tomorrow Billy. You got this!

They already exist, otherwise they wouldn’t have become a meme.

so they are created by AI? or are formed naturally near fissures in the depths of oceans?

I think that particular scene would be from the 60s?

A great opportunity for Frampton. 7 years in the system without cementing a spot, now he's playing in a Grand Final. Has been a very important fill in for us over the season, give us one more.

Another silver lining to the Moore injury is that Frampton got some game time to end the season. Has played many games this year so he'll be ready. His flexibility means he can be moved around if something is not working.

Is a nice long kick. If he does end up on Andrews, trying to spot him up on or just outside the 50 wouldn't be a bad idea at times. Open up space for others and threaten with his long kicking.

More flags than Ken Hinkley
Congrats to your whole club but I’m super happy for Billy, goes to show what a new president, new coach and a good system does.

 

[Tippy78]

Did a job of sorts but could have had 3 or 4 goals if he had of marked well.

 

[WakeUpPies]

That was the best worst game I have witnessed in my life. Leon, Kinnear, J.Cloke, Tex Walker all have nothing on Billy.

 

[manicpie]

I'm so happy for Frampton. He played his role beautifully. He might not get a game every week but he will forever be a premiership player. Another wonderful story of our special coach.

He was okay in the first half, utterly horrific in the 2nd half... If we lost he's a villian, now he's a premiership player forever.. strange how life works like that

He did his job, Andrew’s did nothing and he can tear teams apart. Agreed dropped a couple marks he should have taken.

We shouldn’t forget how he helped us keep winning that period when Cox, Cameron, Moore, and McStay were all injured. His role in the ruck and defence when needed was huge. We don’t finish top without him through that part of the year.

And again today did his job, bloody great value for money

 

[3rdMan]

Tough ask for him. Did ok in the first half, at least contested against Andrews.

 

[swoop42]

The haters were right.

He isn't a forwards arseh*le but he did just enough to quell the influence of Andrews to make a difference.

In a game decided by 4pts that difference was a valued contribution.

Congratulations to him on becoming a Collingwood Premiership player.

 

[upnsmoke]

He was OK in the first 3 quarters.... drops a sitter that could have really turned the game towards Pies... then gives away 2 frees because he was holding onto Harris. He had a bad game overall.

 

[JimmyBC]

The best negating forward role in AFL GF HISTORY!!! HINKLEY SUCK IT!!

 

[Captivating]

Frampton and Hill had 4 goals between them

That's exactly what we needed to win.

 

[Jonno94]

Did his job well in the first half, was shocking in the second. If McStay plays, we win this by 5 goals.

Harris finished with 8 Intercept possessions, which was the most on the ground... While Frampton dropped about 4 SIMPLE marks.

Pornstar Billy has a flag! Unbelievable!

Yeah fair and I forgot about the two dopey holding ruck frees.

Didn’t feel like Andrews impacted much though. I’m surprised he had 8 intercepts, compared to the earlier games I’ve seen Andrews play where he’s dominated I thought Frampton did enough.

I’m more worried about Mihocek tbh, his last six months has been low impact.

But who cares we can worry about that in 2024!!!

 

[3rdMan]

Given that Howe was great in defence it was the right move to play Frampton. In the end his impact was not so negative that we lost. Might sound like a back handed compliment, but there was the possibility that Andrews would dominate him, so he did enough.

 

[EskimoPAFC]

So happy for this bloke

Didn't have the best game but did a fair job on Andrews especially early. Deserves every bit of that premiership medal for what he had to put up with at Port
