WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM FROST

From Jay Clark at the Hun:

http://m.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/melbourne-eyes-homesick-greater-western-sydney-big-man-sam-frost-to-replace-james-frawley/story-fni5f91a-1227053034260

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.

 
 

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


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

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?

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.


Pick 57 would be fair imo

anyone seen him play?

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

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.

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.


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.

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.

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.

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.

  • 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.

    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.
