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.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
