I thought he was excellent today, and in gaining confidence in the Backline( His true Position) should develop into a top line defender! A few errors but very happy with his effort today!

He was. I haven't rated him as highly as most but if he can bring that to the table it'd be a real fillip for the club.

It's a shame that you are not able to recognise the potential of the McDonalds as well!

Agreed, with Oscar we may have something to work with, what can we get for Tom the turnover King 

Not convinced you're not Picket.

We'd get goals kicked on us 30 seconds earlier than when they normally get kicked on us. Because his intercept markings saves goals until 30 seconds later when its turned over and kicked over his head for a goal. Anyway, This is all confirmation bias. He had one big blatant turnover goal. doesn't mean he did it all day. Were there any more?

Great today.

Hit his straps.

Terrific game from Frosty. Thought was T-Mac was pretty good as well. Oscar lost a couple of one on ones but we've got to remember he's only played 13 games.

He contests pretty well and is very quick.

 

he is also probably the worst kick in the team and this time next year you will be starting threads calling for him to be traded

We missed his run off half back last week. Can still work on his contested work, but is tracking nicely.

His pace helps the zone because he can sprint back and cover someone and that takes a decision away from the player with the ball (and from his fellow Melbourne players). Purely because of speed he doesn't have to do as much defending which is great. 

Certainly a heap to work on and I'm not even convinced he's a lock for a long career but his pace sure is exciting.

In about 25 games Frost will pass the ability of Tmac in respect of that which Tmac dies well. He will do it without the baggage of the traits that Tmac has doing poorly. Neither are true FB and so we still need one butTom is expendable.

Won't be overly palatable to some. So be it.

Of course because some see T Mac as Jahesus H himself!

Frost is possibly a worse kick than T Mac.  He has some real strengths, but lets not pretend he wont be just as frustrating.

A rare sight. KPP height with the pace of a quick mid!

Unique specimen!

What games do you watch ?,Mac OS good at relevantly unpressured  kicks. Id say only 50℅are actually in the direction tbeyought be. Frost is making mistakes but idsuggest is leading the mob in trying to fix them . Tmac still makes dumb dumb mistakes, unforgivable given time in system for mine.

Not just pace but height. When he runs at the player with the ball they have to do lollipop handballs to get it over him.

Wow, making up excuses for Sam but hanging Tom. Tom and Sam are both still young for KPD, with Tom having been in the system a full 12 months longer than Sam.

    Demonlander The Analyser was the sole Trackwatcher out at Casey Fields today to bring you the following observations from this mornings preseason training session. Training  was at Casey today.

    Demonland Trackwatcher Gator ventured down the freeway to bring you his observations from Friday morning's Match Simulation out at Casey Fields. Rehab: Jake Lever and Charlie Spargo running laps.  Lever was running short distances at a fast click as well as having kick to kick with a trainer. He seems unimpeded. Christian Petracca, Kade Chandler, Shane McAdam and Tom Fullarton doing non-contact kicking and handball drills on the adjacent oval.  All moving freely at pace.  I didn’

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
