James Frawley
Guernsey Club Sponsors 2011 - Queensland Demons
Thanks to the generosity of many of our members, we have managed to again raise the funds to sponsor James for 2011 season. These people cannot be thanked enough and although we have only just committed to the sponsorship, we think we have chosen well for our player.
What 2010 James had winning All Australian selection. Despite a bad injury in pre-season, I am hoping he will be back in time for the game v Gold Coast so all our wonderful sponsors can have a word with their player.
A top-10 finish in the best and fairest and 20 senior games, by far his best return in three seasons, were a fair reward for the young defender in 2009. Had tough assignments, including minding St Kilda star Nick Riewoldt in round 22, but gained invaluable experience playing on the competition’s best. Has been earmarked as one of several young players to lead Melbourne’s defence over the next few seasons.
Draft history: 2006 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Melbourne) No. 12 overall.
