Player Watch Billy Frampton

[BillyElliott]

His positioning has improved ten fold since he came back in, has been nothing short of enormous for us considering how small we are, and secondly how many inside 50s we concede.
Personally for me he’s been the best story of the year for us, watching him come his man today to intercept or stop a certain breakaway is something he’s been doing all year.

Each week I'm more and more impressed with his disposal too. No panicking at all. Sharp handballs (mostly to Josh, I've noticed..smart) and accurate long kicks to a team mate.

 

[Chrispiesssss]

Love Billy. He hardly gets beaten in one on ones. No one is stronger than him just on those very fast leads like Riley’s only shot at goal today.

He’s also only played 65 games at 28 years old. He could play for another 100 games.

 

[northcotehead]

Going at 80% disposal efficiency. If he conquers our nemesis Larkey next week then he will break through to a new spectrum. Reef's injury was tragic but if it didn't happen then Framps is in the vfl all season. Sliding doors moment.

 

[Rorzza]

At some point Kane might have to make a quick apology statement on Frampton, premiership player and now working on being a solid afl backman.

Great match up.
I think people forget the job he does on Charlie Dixon.
TBF to RT, (and Billy) when he ran at the ball, no one can stop him marking.

take his opportunity this season. As much as it was sad to see Reefy go down with an ACL, it opened the door to for us to see the best season of Frampton's career so far.....

Only this year people on this board were talking about how we'd never win a premiership with Frampton in the team. That's what I love about the Bigfooty comments -- thrown around without any accountability or balance. And then we all just carry on as if nothing happened.

A bit like all footy Media really.

Never win "another" Premiership with Billy in the team .

 

[WakeUpPies]

Doing his best Presti impersonation and it’s exactly what we need.

 

[Rorzza]

Good to see Howe/Frampton (KPP) get some external recognition, there seems to be an unhealthy midfield bias/blinkers these days!

 

[RobJD]

He’s pretty reliable. He’s an old school full back. Locks down and spoils.

Love Big Bill and I’m so happy he’s been able to grab this opportunity and lock himself in the 22.

Agree, really impressed with his growth this year - seems more comfortable playing within his capabilities and he seems to be improving every week.

 

[Kes1984]

I’m a bit worried about Big Bill!

We have ourselves a solid full back here folks

 

[stormskye]

Give him another contract!

 

[Timmy from Thomastown]

In career best form by a country mile.

 

[hellfire]

He has been absolutely enormous for us.

 

[CheckerTrade666]

The Premership full forward meme will forever live on, but it’s time for Billy to become a Premership full back. His form this year has been fantastic, hasn’t played a single bad game and has done jobs on some of the best tall forwards in the league.

 

[TradeDraft]

Been our Best Defender since coming into side

At 1st he help give us the best Setup Down Back and now has stopped his man

Great Game tonight and was Huge in 1st Half

 

[gouki88]

Looking at a reincarnation of Presti (if he had frosted tips and was a bit of a lunatic)

 

[CaptainHowdy87]

Whenever Billy Spoils:

View attachment 2317414

He's not the smartest or most skilfull player going around, but his effort cannot be faulted.

So happy for him that he's perservered for so long and cemented a spot in the side. He never got more than 4 or 5 games in the backline before having to be shifted to another position due to so many injuries to our talls the last couple of years.

Love ya Big Bill
