But now the key Hawthorn backman may be in for another stint on the sideline after this tackle against the Tigers on Friday night.
Frawley has battled injury in 2015, after suffering damaged ligaments in his shoulder in late June.
The defender will likely be cited by the AFL’s match review panel for this incident in the second quarter against the Tigers, following a crack-down on dangerous tackles in play.
The increased focus on dangerous tackles comes after Bryce Gibbs slung Robbie Gray into the MCG turf in Round 12 and knocked him out, while Ted Richards suffered a similar fate just two weeks later when Jay Schulz knocked out the Swans defender with a slinging tackle.
Do you think Frawley is in trouble for this one?
