Collingwoodfc.com.au has published a photo gallery honouring Josh Fraser ahead of his 200th AFL match.
Josh Fraser profile Games: 199 Goals: 156 Brownlow votes: 31 Bio: Drafted with the first overall pick in the 1999 AFL Draft from the Murray under 18s, Fraser made his AFL debut in round one of the 2000 season, and carried the Magpies’ ruck division for most of the decade. He played an important role in the club's grand final years of 2002 and 2003, and enjoyed arguably his best season in 2006, when he played all 23 matches and finished a career-high fourth in the Copeland Trophy voting. 2009 was one of Fraser’s best seasons, when he averaged 17 disposals and 17 hitouts per game in 17 matches. He has played eight matches in 2010, his most recent coming in the round 12 draw with Melbourne.
