WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM FROST

Featured Replies

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
 

I know bugger all about this guy - can someone provide a synopsis?

Brother of Jack no relation to David

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!

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
