William "Billy" Frampton (born 20 November 1996) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Collingwood Football Club.
AFL career
[edit]Port Adelaide
[edit]He was selected with the 84th pick in the 2014 AFL Draft,[3] but did not make his debut until the 23rd round of the 2018 AFL season against Essendon Football Club on 24 August 2018.[4] Prior to his AFL debut, Frampton played 42 games and kicked 18 goals for Port Adelaide reserves in the South Australian National Football League, gaining a following with his aggressive style of play.[5]
Adelaide
[edit]Frampton was traded to Adelaide at the conclusion of the 2019 AFL season and played 21 games and kicked 8 goals at the club. Frampton was the leading goalkicker for Adelaide's South Australian National Football League (SANFL) side in 2021, kicking 24 goals for the season. Frampton came third in the reserves' best and fairest the following year.[6]
Collingwood
[edit]Frampton was traded to Collingwood after the 2022 AFL season.[7][8] For a few games of the 2023 AFL season, Frampton took on the role as one of the main ruckman at Collingwood due to the club's shortage in the position, and he played a career-high sixteen games for the year.[9] After being omitted for finals against Melbourne and Greater Western Sydney, he was recalled for the 2023 AFL Grand Final; in a polarising performance, he had the worst statistics of any player on the ground – committing four clangers despite having only two disposals – but nevertheless had a positive impact as a defensive key forward at limiting the impact of Brisbane Lions rebounding full-back Harris Andrews.[10]
