WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - SAM FROST

Featured Replies

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.

Young key defender on the way up vs half back flanker on the way down. Late draft pick vs pick 21. A couple of big differences there.

 

Frost has played 12 games, so still has some growing to do. I don't think GWS are going to ask the world for him, so he could be a nice acquisition at the right price. We will see if he can be packaged with another few young stars, or come to the dees via a 1-1 type swap, whether it be a player or a pick.

Hopefully he actually wants to come here, and not join Hawthorn/Collingwood like every other home sick kid!

If we get Sam Frost I doubt we will move on Oscar McDonald (Tom's brother) as they are a similar height and play the same position. I was expecting him to be our 4th round pick.

refer to all my other HL posts, including videos and other peoples stats they have posted. i'm done on this topic, and have made my opinions/points clear. People know where i stand, so i will say this loudly and proudly and not talk anymore about either of them:

WELCOME HERITIER AND SAM!

Full backs don't need the greatest skills in the world, however they need players around them to have fatastic footskills or an ability to break zones.

If we land Frost, it's fantastic. He'll be under the tutelage of Roos and some fantastic coaches as well as some real leaders unlike in recent years.

That will have a huge effect on understanding competitiveness and professionalism for young Frost who over the years will develop into someone who genuinely cares about competing as opposed to Frawley who just went through the motions at times this year thanks to the environment he was used to as well as his lack of self-drive/understanding.

Get Lamumba, Gwilt/Malceski around him, Tommy Mac and Dunn and you have some players who know how to use the ball and break zones.

Frost's highlight reel showed him going quite nicely in the forward half. Admittedly at junior level.

Looked ok and with a bit of toe.

will be interesting to see where Roosy plays him (assuming he comes to us)

He's a backman. Athleticism is his main strength. It's nice to see some prior forward line traits but definitely a backman I think. He's pretty much Tom McDonald 2.0 with a bit extra speed and size and hopefully Roosy can develop both of them.

If Frosty comes to Melbourne, that will be another addition to the 21-22 y.o players Roos is trying to build.

Sam was rookied in 2011 from the Sandy Dragons and played with Jarryd Lyons (taken pick 61 in 2010). He is a Wesley boy a year behind Viv Michie who came from the Oakleigh chargers in 2010. The Chargers in 2011 were an interesting group with Tyson were Tomlinson, Greene, Tom Curran (Kangas) and Daniel Pearce (Bulldogs). Maybe the plan is to reunite or build a solid group of 20 to 23 year olds.


Good chance he could end up a Demon, with Mahoney indicating earlier today interest in him and Sauce.

I'd happily take him. 3rd or 4th rounder?

Fourth I would have thought. Not that GWS will use it in the draft but just to get him to where he wants to go.

I hear his father Jack was very nippy.

Hard to get to know though. Could be icy at times.

The Pommy detective? :lol:

Skills were better in the wet ...

Jack is his brother.

I see.


I see.

No relation to Frosty the Snowman?

He totally missed the joke didn't he?

Nope. Just wasn't funny.

But Jack is his brother.

If you're going to make a shitty and obvious joke, at least get that right.

Try again dude..

  • 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.
