Player Watch Billy Frampton - Traded to Collingwood

[cmndstab]

Just quietly, while we seem to have got reasonable value for this trade, Hawthorn have made out like bandits.

GWS get Jacobs, lose Patton
Hawthorn get Patton, lose 2020 4th round pick (Melbourne)
Crows get Frampton, lose Jacobs
Port get 2020 4th round pick (Melbourne), lose Frampton

How the * is Patton involved in this? GWS have straight up swapped Patton for Jacobs, that's lunacy.

Not a fan at all. People confuse genuine aggression at the ball with cheap off ball thuggery.

With that said, very cheap low risk option.

Still, once a Crow then I’m onboard. All the best to Billy with sincere hope he proves me wrong.

Kanes Cornes is a big fan of him, he will be torn now he is in a crows jumper.

 

[cmndstab]

He's a Crows fan too which is nice. Big win to turn Sauce into him.

I'm always a bit bemused when a non-SA local grows up a Crows fan. I wonder why? He was one year old the last time we won a flag so it's not that.

Is Frampton from SA originally?

Was a mad Crows supporter growing up apparently.

 

[MatthewB]

welcome to the crows Billy just need to de-pear you

 

[relapse]

A straight swap for Jacobs?

 

[benji2]

Show us the way, Billy. A bargain and has some mongrel, just needs to control it better. And watch out for the sun.

Harry Taylor and Frampton are both Adelaide fans from WA.

Glad he'll be belting the opposition instead of us, he can take a contested grab and chop out in Ruck, good trading Reid, the new Jenkins.

 

[Morning_Fog]

Just checked his "Fact File" on Port's website and yes, he's a WA native.

Had a shoulder reco at the end of 2017.

Thanks and welcome to the club William.
Clearly he wants to try and improve his career by not settling for a few opportunities.

That could explain a few things.

Good cheap trade given we only traded Jacobs to help GWS with their FA compo calculation.

[ad victoriam]

Going on what I have seen in the SANFL Frampton would be one of the best contested Marks at the Crow in 2020.

 

[Thetrader15]

Got moved up forward this year for Port for the first time and was their leading goal kicker with 35 goals. Quick, aggressive and can take a decent mark. Will fill Jenkins role.

Yeah you take Frampton for a 31-year-old Sauce every day of the week

Welcome Billy, hope you succeed here

 

[SugarShane]

Can take a contested mark. Nice.

 

[ShadeyP]

Low cost , right age profile , good upside and addressed needs . Like it .

Ouch.

 

[Crows I Am]

It’s just very uncommon for players to move from port to the crows. It’s even more uncommon for a non SA player to initiate that type of move.

Might be settled here in SA and happy to stay.

Well in our case I told the kids they weren't coming home from the maternity ward if they were going to barrack for another side.

[i've got a mate who grew up in Melbourne with no Adelaide connections who barracks for the Crows because he liked the Weed. Humans are funny creatures.]

Why ? I'm a West Australian Crows fanatic..And there's lots more of us..
