Josh Fraser

It’s often claimed that captaining the second team at a cricket club is the least desirable role, but Collingwood’s VFL coach, Josh Fraser, might contest the notion as he navigates the challenges of nurturing AFL-ready talent amidst an injury-plagued season for the Magpies.

While acknowledging the demands of his position, Fraser has been actively engaged in reshuffling his squad to ensure Collingwood maintains a reservoir of players capable of making an impact at the AFL level.

Despite enduring a spate of injuries, Collingwood has seen a staggering turnover of 34 players in the first half of the season, including five debutants and two club debutants. This surge of fresh faces underscores the necessity for depth amidst adversity.

Fraser emphasizes the unpredictability of the AFL landscape, where opportunities can arise suddenly, and players must be ready to seize them. Managing the expectations and development trajectories of individual players, like Ash Johnson and Ed Allan, demands a nuanced approach grounded in regular and honest communication.

The role of the VFL coach extends beyond match strategy to encompass player development and readiness for the AFL arena. Fraser underscores the importance of assessing not just on-field performance but also training attitude and overall demeanor in determining player promotions.

While some, like Harvey Harrison, may have to wait patiently for their chance, others, such as Wil Parker, have transitioned seamlessly from alternate sporting pursuits to AFL contention. Fraser emphasizes the uniqueness of each player’s journey and the need for tailored support and guidance.

As Collingwood continues to navigate the ebb and flow of the season, Fraser’s role remains pivotal in fostering a culture of growth and resilience within the squad. While challenges persist, the focus remains on maximizing individual potential and collective success, ensuring the Magpies are well-prepared for the battles ahead.
