William "Billy" Frampton (born 20 November 1996) is an Australian rules footballer currently playing for the Collingwood Football Club .
AFL career
[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] 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 traded to Collingwood after the 2022 AFL season.[6][7] For a couple rounds of the 2023 AFL season, Frampton took on the role as one of the main ruckman at Collingwood due to the club's shortage of ruckmen, and he played a career-high sixteen games for the year.[8] After being dropped for the early finals, 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.[9]
