WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM FROST


Gipsy Danger

Recommended Posts

So the saints could've spun Membrey in to a Delisted FA (maybe because Sydney's list was full?) yet we couldn't do the same to Frost and therefore they could've pinched him.

As usual we are the ones getting screwed

All those last place finishes (well 2 of them!) and we couldn't ever get anyone of value in the PSD, except for Jetta, which turned in to it's own disaster.

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.

Frost did NOT play against Richmond when Riewoldt kicked 11

Whats the matter with Jetta?

Don't mind the price we paid for Frost. The thought of a backline consisting of Frost, McDonald, Lever,Dunn, Garland(garland and Dunn have shown in the past they can play either tall or small) and Jetta really appeals to me.

Assuming we use picks 40 and 53, I'm hoping we can get Caleb Daniel at 40 and select the best available mature player who nominates for the draft. Hopefully it's someone who was previously on an AFL list like Mattew Panos- a medium sized forward who has changed his game and become a midfielder- if he's built his tank to an AFL standard he could be handy as a poor man's Petracca.So not counting Frost and Lamumba, who are replacing two complete two complete felchers, we have Garlett, Jetta, Stretch and four draftees coming onto our list and with the PSD and delisted free agents who Roosy may want, their are a minimum of seven players and possibly up to ten, who need to be cut.

Clisby and Nico are already gone, Blease and Strauss are obviously gone also so that leaves three to six more players who need to be cut.

any thoughts on who that three to six players will be?

Stoked about this guy after watching those highlights. You can see those skills translating. We traded a lotto ticket for a promising, developing player. My immediate reaction was "overs" but the more I reflect, I realise it beats picking a similar player in the draft and waiting to see if he develops. GWS continue to be a post-TAC breeding ground for young talent. Jaksch, Whiley, Frost, Boyd, and that's only this year's crop. Plus they've got 4, 6 and 7 in this year's draft.

Hope picks 4, 6 and 7 enjoy playing in the NEAFL for the next 3 years. :wacko:

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.

I thought his disposal was reasonable. A key defenders job is primarily stopping the key forward/spoil/out mark. 2nd efforts are encouraged. He looked to take the game on when it permitted. I like the idea of Salem off H/B, was thinking that myself when looking at people's best 22 that were posted today. Not sure where Grimes fits in to the team, for mine Howe should be moved back forward.

We're not getting screwed. Our coaching and recruiting staff identified a player we (really) wanted. We paid what we needed to ensure that we got him.

It's what happens on an open market.

Yes but if you are always going backwards or sideways unless miles clear you'll miss attacking opportunities. It's why I don't get so upset about Tom Mcdonald when he takes the game on with his run and turns it over after making a decisive option because he'll never improve if he plays within himself. Grimes is overly conservative then still turns it over, the worst of both worlds.

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
