Player #26 - James Frawley
Pictured: Frawley was honered to be the one who gets to hold the dwarf at St Kilda's recreation of the infamous Fyre Festival
James Frawley is yet another player who retired but was coaxed to St Kilda because their list manager obviously missed Play School as a kid and now is a terrible judge of windows.
After being poached from an under-performing Melbourne side at the end of 2014, Frawley would become both a Box Hill and a Hawthorn Premiership player in 2015. He kept Josh Kennedy goalless in the 2015 Grand Final, no mean feat. James would enjoy a solid 100 game career with Hawthorn before retiring at the end of 2020.
After playing 239 games and being a respected figure at two clubs, Chips decided that getting paid for a year to play AFL without the pressure of having to perform was an attractive proposition and signed with the Saints for a year. The proposition to play one more year came after a few beers in Noosa, which is a different type of proposition that normally occurs after a few beers in Noosa.
I assume Frawley was a St Kilda fan as a kid because his uncle, the legendary Danny "Spud" Frawley, is a revered figure at the club. It led to his nickname "Chips" which is of course derivative of Danny's "Spud" nickname. I fear that David "Spitta" Swallow will have a son who plays AFL and is immediately nicknamed "Gargles" but that is a problem for another day.
Chips played two games this year: his first game was a Round 9 in a loss against Geelong which he said "made him feel young again" as he lined up against likes of Selwood, Isaac Smith and Methuselah.
He then played round 10 which made him feel old again as the Bulldogs tore St Kilda apart by 111 points (the umpires were in overdrive that day, apparently). He would then spend the rest of his year at VFL level teaching the kids important like lessons such as "ice baths reduce muscle soreness" and "never let mum brush your hair when she's angry".
Fun Fact: Frawley is the co-owner of a restaurant in Richmond. Ironically it's an Asian street food restaurant that doesn't serve Chips. Since December 2015, chopsticks are considered a 'dangerous weapon' in Richmond.
Chips, enjoy retirement mk 2. Welcome to the Bottom 50 for 2021
