Josh Fraser to Be Named Collingwood Captain

[Penski]

Judd > Collingwood

Accept it and move on.

Osteitis Pubis > Judd


So when are we going to see him in action?

 

[Brock Machine]

Softer than Brad Green.

 

[Winterstick]

But Richie didn't spend 50% of his gametime on his knees or falling over. He was either on the bench or making a clanger.

Maxwell was a better choice.

you put too much faith in what R Walls has to say
oh yeah and he also said "he's got to get that school boy footy out of him"

 

[pazza]

Oh my that's a really bad call.

Maybe they reckon Maxwell is still too young to take it on, as he would have been the logical long term choice.

 

[Brad Goodman]

Them's the breaks but we gotta live with it, I suppose.

 

[Swanny36]

i dont think Joshy would be to bad a captain but not the worst choice either!

 

[FordGTHO]

Very poor choice in my opinion, considering they had many better options, Josh Fraser comes across as a very soft individual, definitely not captaincy material in my book .

 

[jodo27]

Do you even follow football? Josh has played 156 games from 8 seasons, ie: 20 games on average a year

And it is a fact that Judd has an injury that may keep him off the park or at the very least hinder his performances

Like I said if you can't take it then don't dish it out in the first place

And yet despite all those games he is still yet to take a contested mark. Josh is a good athlete and plays as a tall ruckrover. He is however soft and not what Collingwood needs as a captain (or a ruckman !)

 

[Zeke]

If he manages to stay on the park he might be a good choice.

Weird comment directed at a bloke who probably averages just under 20 games per season over his career.

 

[pies75]

Just keeping it warm until pendles is ready to take over.

 

[sgbn77]

So, any end to the speculation expected?

 

[tigers_of_old_08]

Good choice - Josh's heart belongs to Collingwood there's no questioning his loyalty, he just needs to keep that body of his going and he'll be a good club captain.

Go Tigers.

20 games a year for a team that's played finals more often than not. Over the last four years Fraser has missed at least 26 games of footy due to injury, and just because your playing doesn't mean your 100% fit.

 

[The GOAT]

suprising choice for mine, tought Maxwell was a certainty

 

[Murray]

Scott Palmer also said the same thing in the Herald Sun on Sunday

 

[Brad Goodman]

He took one in the wet on ANZAC day in 2002 but none before or since.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

I do??
Funny that, seeing as I don't even know what R Walls had to say.

 

[pendles]

pendles is the light and the truth.

 

[Gone Critical]

Frsaer is a good choice .He is a natural leader and captaincy will sit well with him. Love Maxwell for his courage and leadership but on natural ability probably doesnt make our top 22.

Never a good look to have your captain running around in the 2's

 

[Bay Pie]

20 games a year for a team that's played finals more often than not. Over the last four years Fraser has missed at least 26 games of footy due to injury, and just because your playing doesn't mean your 100% fit.

26 games over 4 years. The 4 years before that he hardly missed a game.

Most players would take that during their career.

 

[JesusHcrikey]

The concept of tough is changing in modern day football, you now need the mental and physical toughness to break the pain barrier and keep running when your opponent can't

It's more like a marathon race than boxing now, Fraser suits

 

[Palmer Stoat]

Should give it to Burns. Still, Josh is a better choice than either Maxwell or Lockyer IMO.

 

[JesusHcrikey]

And yet despite all those games he is still yet to take a contested mark. Josh is a good athlete and plays as a tall ruckrover. He is however soft and not what Collingwood needs as a captain (or a ruckman !)

Well you worry about your outside the 8 team and 30 something captain and we'll worry about who is in charge of the best batch of kids in the land

 

[Brown n Gold]

i dont think Joshy would be to bad a captain but not the worst choice either!

English a second language for Swanny??

 

[JesusHcrikey]

He probably would be better suited to an Adam Goodes type role but until we have a couple of ruckmen he's it
