Crap. Look at last years GF and ask yourself why Steinfort is no longer with us and Fraser is.

ahh, let me think about this. here we have a player who just is not good enough. he has shown no potential, has no use in our side, he can't make the 22, will NOT improve at all, not next year, not in the next ten years of his carear, useless.

he is just not up to scratch to win us a premeirship.

oh, hang on a minute - that's absolute and utter rubbish!! Josh Fraser is a good ruckman - and he will be one of the greats, if MM wants him to be a ruckman that is. or he could be a great forward.

why would you even think about trading him? you assume he will not improve at all, and I think that's a slur on a 21 year old who has shown a great desire to improve himself in every aspect of his life.

give the the kid a break - he's had glandular fever and osteitis pubis in the last four years, most other people wouldn't even be playing sport at all, let alone football, let alone AFL. He'll be there, he will improve this year and probably the next four years and be a dominant force wherever.

If you can't see the kid has promise, there's something wrong. He just needs time to put that potential onto the paddock. LAst year wasn't so good, but eh didn't go backwards. This year, injury free, you'll see what he can do.

mate give him a few years, he's just come off a 3 goal ordinary game and is improving in stature each match IMO. Probably needs a bit more confidence at contested situations but reads the play better than any players bar Didak in our forward line. I would only trade him for the likes of Judd or Reiwoldt at this stage and Eagles or Saints wouldnt be happy with that so dont trade him at all. Probably wont see the best from Josh till his about 25.

Would you have traded Rocca two years ago, many would have but look were patience has got us now, close to the best big man in the league.

It's time for Josh to stand up, he had his second year blues. No excuses now, he is fully fit and should perform. If he don't improve in the next few weeks he will be in the VFL. We don't carry anyone now.

I think Josh Fraser's one year away, Rohan.

I think he's one year away from kicking your ass.

I think Josh will be a great asset to the side in the coming years. Remember he had OP last year and a restricted pre-season. He is only 21 and big guys take a bit longer to mature. For a guy his size he reads the play so well. It's great to have someone so mobile in the forward line who can also be put into the ruck. I'm sure it wont take long at all to prove how good he is going to be.

We are one,we are Collingwood ...

Northern Pie, I just realized, you've got to inverse your avatar, I think. The colors are all the other way now.

.........taking the football world by storm, being tauted as the most valuable player of the season,of course he is not 1 year away, this will be his year, Brownlow votes, Copeland trophy award, he will carve up the opposition both in the ruck and up forward, without a doubt, this will be the year that Fraser becomes a trail Blazer and will be an Amazer!!!
