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.

    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

    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.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
