Take a bow MFC; the recruitment of Frost was a master-stroke.

One thing I did like from the video is once he went to ground he was getting straight back up again, too many players take far to long getting back on their feet.

Shows a desire to compete

    Remind anyone else of Frawley's chase on Jetta?

    2010! Yes! Great chase.

    Wouldn't say it's a master-stroke based on two pre-season games, but the early signs are very good.

    I noticed McDonald himself was more assured of himself with ball in hand today too.

    I actually think it was, and will prove to be, a masterstroke.

    Pick 23 (or whatever it was) for this guy, especially in the context of the club losing our most experienced/best defender as a free agent to the Hawks, is an absolute bargain.

    And we got Brayshaw for that defender we lost, whose absence I don't think will particularly hurt us given the recruitment of Frost.

    Salem and Tyson for pick 2 was also a masterstroke.

    The club finally seems to have worked out how to draft and trade players.

    Y'know what's annoying? When you read a thread and find an entire page of a thread is filled with lame puns/jokes. I have no doubt it's hilarious when you're part of it...

    %100 agree nasher. However I'm wondering if you meant to post this in another thread. Can't see many puns in this one

    Job well done then. :)

    I really didn't think it was worth such stern PUNishment.

    What I find annoying - primary administrators who take it on themselves to decide what other people should find funny. There was nothing offensive in what was posted. You had no right to be so heavy handed.

    Gawd, we've gone early here! Don't want to wait until he actually plays a game?

    Dont need to. Showed great signs at GWS and has already shown in 2 games with the MFC that hes an athletic freak that takes game on.

    People will soon be asking why GWS let him go,

    Mate, I'm sorry, but most people open threads because they want to discuss the topic in the title. I have deleted posts I have personally found funny many a time, when they don't have a place on the site.

    I'm not being the humour police, I'm being the needlessly and intentionally off-topic police.

    I'm sure if WJ and Demonland think I'm too heavy handed, they'll bring it up with me.

    Fair enough. Put it down to pre- Monday grouchiness

    Will become a key to our defence for the next 10 years. He's an athletic freak and loves a contest. He'll play both shut down roles and rebounding roles. Another great recent piece of trading!

    Cant think of any tall forwards with pace like that. Will be good to see him play on Bud though!!

    I gotta say I was one of those who thought we overpaid for Frost.

    I no longer think this.

  • Quote

    Understand why they're trialing him up forward but I hope they put that idea to bed for the start of the season, has shown a lot more form down back for me.

    Talk about a frosty reception (I'm hoping this wasn't one of the puns that was deleted).

    Remind me - was that a few years back when he wanted to play for the Demons?

    It's Lumumba by the way. However, you are not the only one putting an A instead of an O. Cheers mate.

    O'Brien was a lot easier to spell (I think it was, not O'Brian)?

    I think he was in the middle of contract negotiations

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
