2015 Player Review - # 17 Sam Frost

Featured Replies

 

I just hope that this guy and Oscar are the solutions for our backline! I guess the delisting of Fitzy suggest that is the way the FD are thinking. Let's hope that 2016 proves them right!

Looking forward to Frosty's return. Think he might grow into a very decent ,level headed and able player.

 

Was impressive pre season, and would be a great 3rd defender who can run off the opposition resting ruckman, or even swing forward.

With no more sub rule, he is the perfect player to benefit from this and be our extra tall

Edited by JumpinJeremyHowe


I didn't see too much other than raw athleticism from Frosty, but that is mainly due to the fact that when he played, he was played out of position.

I think he needs to go back and try and become Frawley circa 2010/11, an athletic monster who can shut down one of the opponents best forwards with strength and speed, and provide a bit of dash when appropriate, keep it simple.

I thought he was super impressive when he played at CHB and ran through the middle, looking forward to him teaming back up with TMAC for 2016

 

Won't be long before people call for his existing

OK I'll call for his existing......whatever that means....

Frost looks like he could turn out pretty well. Needs a bit of polish to go with the freakish strength, speed and athleticism, but he's certainly on the right track.

but he does

Melbourne football club is the oldest football club in the world and I reckon Frost had the worst ever toe injury in our history.

Was good, until his foot fell off.

Not sure what the logic was in playing a key defensive prospect as a forward / ruck, but I'm yet to be convinced that he is a long term key defender at AFL player. I'm not saying he isn't, just that we haven't seen the evidence yet.

Of course, if they can't get his toe right, it doesn't matter what positions they see him in.

I was impressed with his pace and aggressiveness at the contest early. Would like to see him get a full year under development of Roos, who seems to be very good with key backs. I think the balance is right with he and Oscar fighting for a key back spot. and both can go forward as well. His brother is very good. can't see why we couldn't develop him to be just as effective.

4-6 I hear

A toe kept Sandilands out for a season or more did it not? They would have to be a hard injury for a footballer to get over given the pounding their feet take.

It that for his toenail?

CHB next year. One of Dunn or Garland to go forward depending on match ups.


B: Jetta, Frost, Sam Frost's Left Big Toe

HB: Salem, McDonald, Harlett

I was very impressed with Sam in the pre season game against the Dockers. He is very fast and will develop nicely I believe. Look forward to seeing him action again.

Talking to Pederson on the train after the GWS game, he said Frost was ready to go that week but the club decided to start again next season and not play him.

 

I'd like to have a chat to Pederson. Seems a really nice guy.

Frost might be the backman that goes into the ruck in a pinch if we can't land another taller forward.

That's insightful.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
