Bio
Selected with the number one pick in the 1999 National Draft, Josh Fraser carried the immense burden of expectation as the face of a rebuilding Collingwood outfit. Arriving from the Murray Bushrangers, he immediately became a fixture in the Magpies' senior side, playing every game in his debut season and featuring prominently in the club's 2002 and 2003 Grand Final campaigns. While technically a ruckman, Fraser was renowned for his athleticism and endurance, operating more like an oversized midfielder than a traditional tap specialist. This mobile playstyle allowed him to accumulate possessions and drift forward to kick goals, though he frequently conceded size and strength to the competition's heavier ruckmen, a physical disparity that eventually took a toll on his durability.
Despite playing 200 games for Collingwood and earning life membership, Fraser's time at the club ended on a bittersweet note. The recruitment of Darren Jolly in 2010 saw Fraser squeezed out of the best 22, ultimately denying him a place in the premiership side that broke the club's long drought. Seeking a fresh start and the opportunity to guide a developing list, he joined the Gold Coast Suns for their inaugural season in 2011. Fraser spent two seasons with the Suns providing veteran mentorship to the league's newest team before retiring in 2012, later returning to Collingwood to coach their VFL side.
