WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM FROST

From Jay Clark at the Hun:

I'm not sure what I'm allowed to cut and paste, but the thrust of it is that we're targetting Frost to replace Frawley, and he wants to come home. No mention at this early stage of what we'd offer.

[spirit of norm smith 13,409]

Yes yes and yes.

3 year deal at approx $180,000 gets it done.

[RalphiusMaximus 5,993]

He's a rookie pick who hasn't played too many games. Shouldn't cost much.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Keep the GWS kids coming, Dom!

[Lord Ivanhoe 311]

Just spoke to my original source who said that this Sam Frost trade will happen barring any left field offers. eg At the last minute Tyson Goldsacks' girlfriend(and her parents) has declared she wants to return to Adelaide and apparently he had agreed to stay at Collingwood but had NOT signed yet, so that deal is all up in the air all of a sudden. Will post some other stuff that was mentioned on the main trading thread

[Roost It 1,434]

Heard the same thing about Frost today from a credible source

Also heard we're in Toby Greene's ear in a big way

No surprise but Frawley is gone and compo pick is coming

[Watts Jurrah Dunn? 735]

Stating the obvious I know but you'd imagine GWS will be looking to package Frost with a player to get their hands on pick 2/3.

They would have no interest in a 4th round draft pick for Frost given they wouldn't even use it on draft day.

Would also make sense that Toby Greene would be the one shopped given his off field issues and stand-off with the club when he got suspended.

Pick 3 for Greene, Frost and a 2nd round pick?

[chook fowler 18,392]

Mitch Robinson and Toby Greene would be good on the town together.

[Bay Riffin 1,426]

I've been told the deal is done for Sam Frost to Melbourne. Source if his dad.

I don't know what we have agreed to trade.

[Tyson_Viney_Toumpas 269]

Who's Sam Frost?

[Ted Lasso 17,123]

Pick 57 would be fair imo

James Frawley replacement?

[What 18,810]

anyone seen him play?

I saw some GWS games this season but didnt notice him, which isnt a bad thing of course

[Lil_red_fire_engine 10,330]

Good size and speed, kicks like T-Mac but plays more to his limitations. Has good upside and fills a need. Keen to see what the cost but we could push through tp PSD if they ask for overs.

[Watts Jurrah Dunn? 735]

Pick 57 would be fair imo

Not sure they'd even use pick 57 in the draft?

Don't GWS and GC have to trim their list over the coming years?

Don't think they'd want to delist one of their many top 20 kids to use pick 57 in an ordinary draft.

[Wiseblood 24,636]

I think it's a good move to chase him as a direct replacement for Chip. Clearly the club weren't too pleased with Georgiou's second half of the year and feel we need further re-inforcements, which is fine by me.

[SaberFang 7,141]

Has been a done deal for a while as far as I know. Someone said even Tyson told a few people at the B&F he'd all but signed on the dotted line.

Was taken pick. 1 in the Rookie Draft in 2011 I think.

Seen a bit of him. His brother is Jack from Collingwood.

Similar to McDonald. Very athletic and fit for his size and can play forward.

Doesn't have the greatest foot skills but has a lot of desire.

Overall good pick up for our backline.

They have to trim their list by 2 this year. If O'Rourke, Jaksch and Frost leave and they don't bring in replacements they will need a minimum of 4 picks at the draft. Considering they currently have (assuming Frawley compo) picks 4, 21 (end of 1st compo), pick 24 and 41, plus likely first rounders for Jaksch and O'Rourke they probably won't use it.

Doesn't mean they wouldn't do the trade though - they don't get anything, but they help the player get where he wants to.

[The Song Formerly Known As 6,479]

People are stoked with Frost, but not happy with Lumumba. I don't get this place anymore, i think i need to go and join 'Ology or Big Footy. i'm done.

For the record, i am happy with both players.

Frost can be steak knives if we swap pick 3 for O'Rourke and Jaksch. A Win-Win all round!

His brother has been impressive at Collingwood. Hope he can be the same.

anyone seen him play ?

Go over to that other thread and count how many posters are not happy with HL.

And then look at how many have since recanted, or pulled back from their unhappiness.

HL gets a lot of unwarranted nonsense thrown his way, he also gets some warranted nonsense...

Sit a poster down and smack them in the face and tell them HL is coming and they will be happy he is.

[Deecisive 1,663]

i like to look of frost i think he will be a great addition to our backline if we land him.
