Minairo "Michael" Frederick (born 17 May 2000) is an Australian rules footballer who plays for the Fremantle Football Club in the Australian Football League (AFL).

Early life

He was named Minairo at birth, but prefers to be known by his baptised name, Michael.[1] His twin brother Manguru (Martin) plays for Port Adelaide.[2] He completed school at Christian Brothers College, Adelaide in 2018. He was drafted with the 61st selection in the 2019 AFL draft from Woodville-West Torrens in the South Australian National Football League (SANFL), where he had won the Alan Stewart Medal as the best player in the 2019 SANFL Under 18 Grand Final.[3]

Professional career

Frederick made his AFL debut for Fremantle during round seven of the 2020 AFL season in the Western Derby at Optus Stadium kicking a goal on debut.[4] Frederick finished his debut year playing 10 games and kicking four goals.[5] Frederick had a stand out performance during round 11 of the 2022 AFL season, he kicked two goals and finished with a game-high 11 score involvements, 17 disposals and four marks during Fremantle's 38 point win over Melbourne at the MCG.[6] Frederick later backed up that performance in a top 4 clash against Brisbane the next round, kicking 3 goals and amassing 18 disposals, 7 score involvements and 10 marks in Fremantle's 14 point win.[7] Later that month Frederick was handed a one-match ban by Fremantle after consuming alcohol during a six-day break and as a result missed Fremantle's round 13 game against Hawthorn.[8]
