Notice how the club don`t make a fuss about the big fella ? Then have a look at how filthingwood carry on about fraser. Essendon get on with buisness.At the very least David Hille is at fraser`s level

Fraser will burn out - you watch.
He has copped a hammering so far in his career - and a young body cant take it like a developed one can.
It's why Sheedy keeps guys like the Johnsons in cotton wool untill they were physically right to go.
Sure, they could have gone earlier, but due to their style of play they would have been subjected to too much, too early.
Wanganeen was similar - he was good enough to play on ball week in week out at Essendon - but the body wouldnt have held up.
He went to port, and lets face it, he struggled when he was "the man" at the club. He is only small, and probably too gutsy and couragous for his own good. You have to watch those sortsa guys.
Fraser just seems to get hammered all the time.
Wouldnt be suprised after a tough year last year he struggles a bit with injury this year.
I have no doubt Gary Ablett shouldnt play seniors for a while - 3-5 this year maximum Id say - the guy is very young and he looks so brittle.
I know Freaks will come along like Watson/Carey etc, but they are the exception, not the norm.
Never understood why some coaches wanna throw young 17-18 year olds to the wolves straight away.
Hille has learnt a lot last year under Barnes/Alessio - already the improvement is there - and this year once Salmon and Alessio are back he will be nurtured again.
By next year he will be ready to go, both Mentally and Physically.
Fraser on the other hand is struggling with ostietis pubis (sp?) already etc.

Yep - too young, too much responsibility, not strong/fit enough yet.
He undoubtedly has a bit of talent (at shepherding goals anyway!
), but if the wobbles keep going with him a they are, he may well have a very short career.Log in to remove this Banner Ad
