Squiggle tips Demons at 77% chance -- What's your tip? -- Team line-ups »
He barely should have played the one game he did play. If he was playing like he is this year then sure, but he wasn’t at all.Frampton should have played like 5 games last year and only got 1. He should be on almost 10 games now rather than 2.
Your last two words says it all (good delivery).He has a decent lead Bill if we can create space for him & good delivery (lol)

You see better deliveries from a grocer than you see from Port.Your last two words says it all (good delivery).
Our kicking skills have dropped off dramatically over the years.
Drafting players that can kick a football would be a good starting point.
I haven't seen Frampton play in the SANFL but on Sunday he delivered exactly what I expected, based on what I saw of him in the last game of last year.He barely should have played the one game he did play. If he was playing like he is this year then sure, but he wasn’t at all.
He showed glimpses up forward last year against Essendon but was horrible in the ruck which is where he was selected to play.I haven't seen Frampton play in the SANFL but on Sunday he delivered exactly what I expected, based on what I saw of him in the last game of last year.
That suggests to me that he should have played more AFL games than he has to date.
I find it funny people saying our forwards have to play in front and lead.
Like FFS that’s basic under 10s stuff and should be that way all day.
All this defensive forward hogwash is a poor excuse for poor forwards.
All the great goal kickers over the years would have never got a game at Port because they just kicked goals week in week out.

Well at least he can kick so that’s a good start.That’s why Burton must play in the forward half.
Why did you have to butt in and then go on to completely miss my point? Ryder was banned and Lobbe went down. Ken thought using Howard was a great idea instead of using an actual ruck, Frampton, because Frampton was too raw yet they’re the same age. It didn’t go well so Trengove got thrown there.You find it strange that a coach didn’t want to play a second year player who was undersized for the job in a position where he would have to contest every stoppage in the game, and so opted for a player who would see the ball maybe half the time up forward?

It’s actually amazing how far you’ve taken this.Frampton is a poor ruck even now - good for a chop out but that's it. What do you think he would have been like in 2016 as a raw kid?
Anyway, in 2016, it went like this:
Lobbe rucked from R1-5. Howard played R2.
Neither Trengove nor Lobbe played in R6, which is why Dixon, Westhoff and Howard shared the ruck duties. Howard was brought in just for that match, because we went with a rotation system. We won that game against Richmond by 35 points FFS. Then Howard got dropped, and came back for the game against Melbourne - which we won by 45 points - and Collingwood, which we won by 67.
We lost the Bulldogs game that they both played in by 3 points, before he did his ACL against Fremantle.
Didn't go so well huh?
Hammer nail.Also I don't think Billy was wrestling so much as trying to get past being shepherded out of getting to the drop of the ball.
Calling him a poor ruckman is a bit dramatic he's just not a lead ruckman.
And Dougal if it ever came to that again.He is a better ruckman than Westhoff.
Sam Gray would be a better ruckman than WesthoffHe is a better ruckman than Westhoff.
As long as he doesn't ruck much more than either. He's future is as a forward and any ruck work should only be through necessity.And Dougal if it ever came to that again.
He'll ruck if it's needed he still gives Ladhams a relief in the SANFL.As long as he doesn't ruck much more than either. He's future is as a forward and any ruck work should only be through necessity.
That's fine, but you would only really want him as a chop out ruck. I like the work he can do around the ground in the SANFL, but his ruck work is pretty average.He'll ruck if it's needed he still gives Ladhams a relief in the SANFL.
And Walker can knock the ball out of a Port players hand, after he marks it, and no 50m given. Even commentators said that was 50m.Can you imagine if our forwards got the same protection that Taylor Walker gets? We'd be a 2-3 goal a game better side.
