Strategy Play Frampton

[x_les_x]

Framptons knock in his draft year was he was the inbetween size for a ruckman without the saving quality such as ryders leap; he wasnt actually good at being a ruckman. So the team that picked him up were taking a massive punt in making him either a defender or forward, positions he didnt play often in his draft year which is why he went so low and almost went into the rookie draft. He was never going to be a no1 ruck and was always a chop out player

 

[Enviable Tradition]

That's fine, but you would only really want him as a chop out ruck. I like the work he can do around the ground in the SANFL, but his ruck work is pretty average.

He's no Ollie Wines or Brad Ebert...

Just why bother rucking Billy at all?
We need an excuse to play Ladhams and I'm guessing Lycett has been carrying this injury a while? Ladhams being emergency 2-3 times over the past month? osteo pubis?
Leaving a forward we want to develop forward and getting a ruckman we want to develop out there makes sense to me. A lot of stoppages and 2 rotating ruckmen working over The Hawks ruck set up? Could work?

I would persevere with Billy but knowing Ken it will probably be one poor game and out.

Yea he's as dopey as Dazzle doesn't understand how to develop a KPF.

From what I watched (first half before going to work) Billy simply needed to work on his positioning and timing when the ball is coming towards him. Wouldn’t be dropping him after a game where the team kicked 6.13 and definitely wouldn’t drop him for Marshall, Billy has more upside IMO but the two can co-exist. It’s once Dixon comes back things get tricky.

That's why it's important to get games into him because who knows how Charlie will go coming back from a serious injury.

Yet Sam Gray can’t kick around the corner from 25 out, R Gray can’t kick 40m straight in front, not to mention Westy and Motlop missing goals....

At least I can mark a ball, cans.

 

[PowerBaz]

We don’t seem to play a leading forward game.

How many times was Gunston in a lead yesterday.

Speaking of Dixon, I wonder if the increased workload from playing in the ruck rather than playing Billy might have increased the chance of injury for Dixon. Definitely a sliding doors moment.

 

[PJ Power]

Billy got his hands to a lot of marking opportunities yesterday and there were at least 2-3 after half time where he might have been paid them on another day.

Definitely persevere with him until Dixon is back.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Hold the phones, a 200cm 2 game key forward had a bad game away in wet and windy conditions against a team that strangled the life out of GWS and it must be highlighted.

But Ken Hinkley can death ride us into the ground over years and anyone who criticises him is the scum of the earth.

Hypocrite much?

 

[*PAF]

Was easily pushed under the ball a number of times today.
Some could have been frees on another day but most were fair contests. Needs to learn from that.

 

[Ford Fairlane]

Get an experienced AFL key forward to work with him.

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Mark the ball much?

 

[DazalenkoUBewty]

Second game of footy? Bugger me, he did extremely well then. I thought he'd played for years...oops

 

[TBoyleSuperstar]

As a neutral, I think he showed a bit.
We’ve got a you g forward in Mitch Lewis, who missed yesterday, who’s showing a bit and is improving every week. They just need time.
I thought frampton competed well yesterday, halved most contests and presented well.
Worth persistence I’d say

All they need to do to get Tredders to work with Marshall & Billy is pick up the phone.. don't hold ya breath under this regime they barely address our kicking woes.

Why are our talls constantly double and triple teamed?
Why hasn’t Ken found a solution for that after all these years?

Defo worth persisting with, but needed more from him yesterday.
