#25 Josh Fraser

[fraser25]

He's 25.

How many players can say they have two fantastic Grand Final performances under their belt in their early twenties.

Not many, but Josh is unassuming, modest, yet will always play with class and panache above his years.

It's amazing that Malthouse has selected Josh for sole ruck duties this Saturday (though Bryan is an emergency). What a massive test in his 150th.

Mick believes in his man and why shouldn't he. He always performs on the big stage.

I recall MM played Josh as the lone ruckman against the WCEs (last year?) on the basis that he wanted him to take the full load and not rely on backup support. I wonder if he's doing it again, although obviously Bryan may play this time.

Stand tall big fella.

#25 is still one of my favs and has been for 30 years now.

ive been wearing Joshs #25 on my back since the day he was drafted and i still proudly wear it, despite the fact its a couple sizes too small haha

i still have no idea why people dig into Josh on here so much, he is one of the best ruckmen going around, i would say behind Cox, however Cox has the best midfield around him.

I believe Josh has changed the game some what, along with Cox. He is now requiring every ruckmen coming through to not only be a ruckmen but act as a wingmen or rover. He is a freak and when he is at his best he is fantastic to watch.

Congratulations.

Easily my favourite player..have a good one Josh the boys have to win this one for you mate..well done on your 150 th!

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

Yeh hard to believe he's up to 150. I've always thought of him as an up and coming star, I guess he already is. Well done Josh, fantastic effort.

[armoooo]

Good on him, he may not be the best in the hitouts but he more than makes up for it around the ground, gun, in the top 5 best ruckman in the league

[think better]

I didn't see or even hear the game yesterday but his Josh's stats looked very impressive and he was named in the best players - how did everyone rate his game?

[Magpie Since 1986]

Either best on ground or second best on ground for us. Had to do 95% of the rucking with no Richards or Bryan to help and he did a magnificent job. Got plenty of the ball and gave a real contest. Also managed to get forward and kick some goals he would normally spray.

despite the free kicks, it was one of his best performances

[Joel]

He was very good. He really dominated around the ground.

[lethal68]

Started like a house on fire - along with Thomas, he was responsible for our first quarter charge - and kept working hard all day. Copped a couple of inexplicable decisions from the umps, which frustrated him, but a really good game from Josh. Imagine if we had another quality ruckman to help him?

[Doska#6]

Fraser is a gun, full stop.

[Magpie Mark]

Should be our next captain unless Heater moves beyond the role of half back and into the middle. Then you couldn't deny him.
