I could be wrong, but I'm assuming they recruited him primarily as ruck coverage. With Jacobs gone, who's next after O'Brien?
Saw him in the SANFL GFinal and he looked strong. Took some good marks. But other than that I dont have much to say as i wasn't focusing on him. I was watching Gould.

He kicks well (based on the limited vision I have seen) and arugably would be the best kick for a ruckman we have had for a while.
Sauce was a good kick

Reckon this could be a stellar trade but time will tell. I saw him in a couple of games during the year and thought that he had a real presence. Very physical which is what we need too.

Sounds like Danger is trying to talk Geelong into taking that bullet.

They desperately need Jacobs - got destroyed in the ruck in all finals
Patton wouldn’t get a game in front of Cameron Findlayson and Himmelberg
Sometimes it’s about need not perceived value. They also get his money off the books which helps keep Cameron etc

If as reported we told Jenkins to not even do an exit interview this year you can take to the bank he won’t be on our list - even if we pay his entire salary
Welcome Big Billy!!
I can only imagine the torment you have endured having to play for both the magpies and the power as a Crows supporter.
Now you can do what comes naturally and punch a few teal / black & white heads.
I hope you find your feet and become a player that gets everything out of his career.
For me, intent is a huge part of what makes a good footballer... You seem to have the intent bit sorted, just adjust the target of that intent a little and she'll be apples!

Strachan's next in line at present.
One of the reason's given for Frampton's slow development is that Port spent a lot of time training him as a ruck, but has since "flourished" since playing predominantly forward.
Frampton's forwardline competition for Himmelberg IMO with the added bonus of filling a 3rd/4th in line ruck depth.
Head to head last year in the SANFL Frampton clearly the better forward of the 2.

Frampton might not be as quick as JJ in a straight line but I can see him providing a lot more pressure.
We are heading in the right direction as a club - going for youth in place of 30+ veterans, going for aggression in place of pleasantness.
Frampton fills the void in our current needs. I’ve seen him in some of the AFL games for the Power and the SANFL Grand Final, and I really like his natural aggression and his marking ability. Can see him be our instant JJ replacement if he can further improve his game over this coming preseason.

Other posters might be right that it could be Lynch exiting the forward line.
The two talls thing when we've already got Walker and Fogarty.
Add in Lynch, add in Frampton/Himmelberg as 2nd ruck...
Could Lynch play as a defender? Hartigan can have a breather.
Play 1 main tall defender in Talia. Then surround him with utility types. Lynch, Doedee, Kelly...

I like it
We've proven that going tall and treacle slow (of body and/or mind) at both ends of the field categorically does not work.
There might be the odd tall timber team where you want two genuine KPDs (internal trials for instance
) but we can deal with that when we come to it
Frampton might not be as quick as JJ in a straight line but I can see him running in a straight line.

The leader of the bunch.
At the very least, it's less likely to be an uncontested mark to his direct opponent.
Hopefully we can get rid of JJ today so he doesnt get in the way of Billy getting a game....
Billy must play from the get go...
Stengle Frampton Murphy
Lynch Walker Fogarty
Or something like that

A straight line towards the ball instead of towards the goals.
