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.

That's actually what I liked so much about his game again today. His first instinct as a defender is to attack. He is the new breed of Melbourne defender. Gets the defensive job done and turns the play into an offensive one straight away. This is clearly how our FD want our defenders playing, hence Garland and Dunn being out.

Bingo.

Didn't a great capt in the club once start his career in defense and built up to become a pretty powerful tal forward (Neitz)

Frost definitely looks suited to the roll and should stay CHB for games where we've definitely lacked height and caught out at times

Only because the Ox, Lyon and Jackovich we not down. He was a better defender.

We will keep seeing this from all Dees players, they have said they have been told to be bold and take the game on. We are a second from glory and a second from disaster... It will get much better as we move through the year and into next year and we will be incredibly enjoyable to watch but have some drop offs.
