Well Well Well, all those fellow landers that know (me included) have been saying for a while now that Sam Frost should be played down back!

I thought today he was excellent and certainly dispelled any doubts that he will be a Pinacle Defender for years to come!

Reminded me of Glen Jacovich today (no mean feat) 

Produced Run, Carry, Grunt and surety by hand and foot! 

Well done young man!!

His marking, running and kicking were all excellent today.

I wouldn't rule him out as a crumbling forward just yet but he may have a future in the backline.

I now think he should be a forward.

He was good today. In fact, most of our defenders were good. Lots of intercept marks.

The problem with you Picket is that you dare to question the decisions of the Football Dept. The Demonland majority drum into us plebs that the FD know everything about the game, and we are merely ignoramuses. 

(Sarcasm meter turned off). Anyone with half a football brain could work out that Frost was not a forward, and the experiment was a waste of time and potentially cost us some wins.

Which can also be put down in part to Collingwood's horrible kicking I50. There is still a ton of work to be done by the back line and the fact that Jetta was left alone on Jesse White numerous times shows that there's a way to go. But Sam Frost was solid today and is playing where he should always have been playing.

Yep. Almost wrote another sentence saying I want to see it against a decent side. But decided to enjoy today first.

Jakovich used to regularly towel up the greatest centre half forward the game has ever seen, in Carey

 

Frosty played one of his best games today for sure.

But Glen Jakovich like???????  o.m.g

I'm in... Frost is a defender defender defender. He looked 100% more confident in the back 50.

The trial as a forward must be over. We have Weideman and Hulett as future forwards.

 

Frosty just looks so much more comfortable and natural as a defender.  He gets maximum benefit from his physical prowess and gets a little more time to organise himself with his disposal.  The run out of defence where he fired off a pair of 1-2 hand passes was special, and should have resulted in a free kick and 50m penalty when he was taken out to prevent him getting the return ball (it's in the rules).  Sadly the umpires were wearing black and white for most of the game, so it was only play on.

Did Sydney medicos or Misson say this?

The forward experiment didn't work, we all knew he was a defender or nothing, so let's just move on.

FWIW, I felt he tried to take players on too much today, with some attempts at selling candy or sidestepping opponents resulting in turnovers or him getting tackled. But he certainly looks far more comfortable down back and with his speed and athleticism he can provide us with rebound too.

He was exactly what we've been wanting and needed all year in defence. Geez lighten up guys..

He was named in the forward pocket! What's your worries?

You really are riding this joke into the ground, and I love it.

I must admit to getting so frustrated at the FD's insistence at playing Frost up forward that I personally approached Brendan Macartney at the Casey v Sandy game to firstly enquire about his personal opinion on Frost and then in a very respectful manner I expressed my opinion that I believed Frost was never going to make a Forward as long as his ass pointed to the ground but with his pure athleticism and closing speed was a real chance as a KD.

i will tell you that Brendan was very engaging but made it clear that he thinks he will be capable at both ends but prefers him more as a Forward.

He must show something on the track because his match day performances as a forward have been below average. Looks good as a back though, so I think you are right. McCartney going to have to take the L for the time being.

His name is Sam, not Samuel. I thought he played a very good game. His marking and contested footy was probably the best I've seen from him. His run and carry was also very good and he often hit a target.
