WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM FROST

Featured Replies

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

120kg should do it... then put him against Clark.

 

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?

And stand on his foot, f%#king hard.....

I'm not bitter at all :)

Roughy got away with only one week for tripping Tyson... just saying. :)

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?

Jurrah?

 

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:

And he was only on Kennedy for about 4 of the goals. The other times it was Corr, Tomlinson and Buntine.

Okay but like your thinking!

He is only 21... bit harsh to start judging him when he's played against ten year players.

I hope we aren't equally as harsh on Hogan when he gets beaten off by every other team's best defender.


Brother of Jack no relation to David

Gold..:) .( not cold )

So he's Jack Frost's brother hm?

atouchoffrost460.jpg

Perhaps he can investigate where Dangerfield's contract went?

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.

Jurrah?

Correct, typo.

Stef Martin and Jurrah our success stories in the PSD. Both turned in to big failures really considering we got so little for Martin.


As usual we are the ones getting screwed

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.

You're all over the board Clit - I'm guessing you're pizzed early tonight!

Wifes out tonight so its one man party time! Only constructive stuff on here though and there is dinner to attend to....... can anyone tell me how long the water takes to boil?

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.

 

After all...man's got to know his limitations!

Even though he missed 7 games he still finished 11th in their bnf. We identified him as the best developing key defender in the game. I'm happy with the deal we made in the circumstances.

  • 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.

    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.
