Very Happy have Sam Frost on the list. I too was surprised by the high price we paid but it suggests to me that there was either another offer tabled for him or StKilda was going to take him at P1 in the PSD. If that is the case it is worth considering who you would prefer out of Frost and Membrey?

I would have picked Frost and I'm glad that we did.

Has go about him, and good pace and carry.

I bloody like it.

I just finished watching it, even living in Sydney I've seen stuff all of him. 21 years of age and as you've said, takes it on, has some pace and reasonable disposal for someone standing at 194cm. By no means a one dimensional defender/mug spoiler of the ball. Very happy with this pick up.

First option seems to be to always look for a handball.... Only a couple of clips but looks like he lacks confidence in carry and disposal. Other than that looks courageous, hard and quick. Welcome aboard frosty

That's just a throwaway line to keep supporters happy, but we've cut through his bs in 2 seconds flat.

As for this 'net gain' ideology, LOL. If we were in such a good position to land Stretch with our 3rd round pick, you don't just go ahead and reduce the hand you're dealt and hide behind 'net effect'. You exploit it and press the advantage as hard as you can

st Kilda (banes) said it too. They would have done a quick deal on membry and taken frost in psd. They held the trump card. 1st pick

Loved the highlights, got a bit of dash and pace about him for a big bloke. Can't wait to see him run through an opposition player, he's a big big boy. Very happy!

Welcome aboard Sam, glad to have you at the club

Roos and the Footy department identified you from a long way out and got what they wanted

Recall many Bombers laughing when you took Ted Richards,hope this turns out the same

With regards to "first option looks to handball" isn't that what they are meant to do? Find the back flankers or mids dropping back for supposed elite disposal.

And 102kgs!!!! Can run through just about anyone!

Dare I say it.....is quick, decent disposal, can make desicions. Upgrade on Frawley if you ask me

Especially those 2 words "DECENT DISPOSAL!"

Jesus those are some good highlights...

McDonald and Frost - we are set for a decade back there.

No wonder they wanted to get the trade done.

I had no idea he was that impressive.

If you can't kick yes. But the best players back themselves. Frost and McDonald in the same team will be interesting and we are yet to bring anyone in to fix the kicking woes of our flankers.

Maybe if Lumumba plays well on a wing, Michie/Riley step up and we draft a ready to go midfielder then we can designate Vince and even Salem to half back.

Frost does look a good option for another Roos type defensive first project.

OMG - first time I have really had a good look at him.

Even given the reservations one should have of anyone's highlights reel, he looks bloody exciting.

Does anyone else see, despite him playing largely as a defender, the young version of our beloved Ox?

Should we now show the highlights from the consecutive games where Riewoldt and Josh Kennedy kicked 11 on the giants?

If Frost and McDonald both play well enough to stay in the side next year and establish themselves then get excited. Right now we have 2 baby Zac Dawson's and have to turn them in to consistent players.

Yeh I know, I just hadn't seen him and was hoping he was the type who backed himself in to intercept and break. Just when he gives the handballs he isn't looking for that give-get back. Usually if that's the way they are it stays that way. Not a bad thing if they can shut down a key, I'm just desperate to see a backman at melbourne who WANTS to have the ball and break the lines and link up.

Looks good In the highlights, just made a comment

It isn't always the fault of the full back in those instances

I too was really impressed with those highlights. Looks clean, fast and tough. I think we might have a 21 year old version of frawley and we're 20 picks better off.

He will be a beautiful size in a couple of years when he adds a few more kilos to that frame.

We just need to find a player at 40 or 53 and this could be a great trade.

A few more kilos? He is already listed as 102kgs! We don't want to turn him into a Mick Nolan!

That's on wikipedia. Maybe, just maybe it's incorrect!

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to
