One of the Demons' few elite players, Frawley is a superb defender who proved his quality again in 2011 despite an injury-interrupted pre-season. He tore his left pectoralis and underwent surgery in mid-January but returned earlier than expected in round two and was back somewhere near his best by round seven. He not only led the club in rebounds from 50 for the second successive season (with 110), but his number was double his next teammate. Has shown he can handle the best forwards – either tall or small - is a good mark and can provide run.

Player honours: 2nd best and fairest 2010; All-Australian 2010; International Rules Series 2010.

Draft history:
2006 NAB AFL Draft 1st round selection (Melbourne) No. 12 overall.
