Quite surprised considering all the trade chatter.

Well done to him and the club.  He's shown a lot of potential in what is still a very young career.

    Obviously the club see a lot more in him than does Moonshadow.

    I am happy for him and believe that he can refine his play - his speed is an enormous asset.  Could he play wing?

    (When headless chook is mentioned I always think about the one who didn't play this year despite being listed, and has thankfully now slipped off into book writing, filmmaking and probably staring at himself in a big mirror anguishing about how poorly he has been treated in life, especially considering his self proclaimed and self acclaimed aristocratic status.)

    PS I wonder if this may suggest that Lever may not be as locked in at MFC as some believe?

    This is good news. Interesting comments by him, regarding him being frustrated that his form had dipped at the wrong time and he wasn't able to pull it round sufficiently in the 2s in time for the final rounds.

    I wonder if this means that, if we acquire Lever, TMac will be permanently forward?

    I certainly see upside to Frost - at his best, his intercept work is great and his sprint out of defence is at times exhilarating!

    Well done young man.

    I thought his loss of form, plus Hunts seemingly lack of impact running were a couple of reasons we seemed to lose momentum late in the season.  Not sure if stats back up my perception of Hunt but that's how it seemed to me. It was more than just those guys losing impact, but their late season form contributed in some way I think.

    The thought crossed my mind also, he might be wicked at it.:P

    Sam has some qualities that many others don't - size, speed and strength all in one package

    He is unquestionably a work in progress but if he can refine his decision making, spoiling  and delivery he would be a valuable player. 

    These are not easy to do - but significant upside if he could - worth a chance I think

    Lets hope so. One Mac down back is more than enough, and TMac going forward would solve another immediate recruitment need.

    I'm delighted Sam has re-signed.

    ...I'm just wondering if he is really fast after the first 5 metres.  I recall him being run down HTB quite a few times...Not knocking him just checking perceptions.

    His re-signing certainly ensures a lot of competition for spots in the back half!

    If Jake joins us next year he will make a great depth player. Glad he has signed on.

    Huh? Not sure you understand the trade system. 90% of trades happen when players are out of contract. Much harder to trade players under contract.

    He's very good when running at speed and in a straight line, when he stops and props he seems a bit unsure of himself.

    I remember a few of his turnovers late in the year came from trying to switch back into the corridor(maybe due to instruction).

     A player like Frost needs to be let off the leash sometimes and play on instinct.

    Really? "All the trade chatter" on here..... 

    He has the athletic attributes to be a pillar of flag winning side. Consistency to intensity and an ongoing focus on foot skills are his keys.

     

    Kudos Dees and Frosty!

    Very happy to have Frosty.

    Perhaps we need an "irony" marker.

    Or have we pulled out of the Lever race?

    His best is terrific. Sill heart in mouth with ball in hand. Needs to be smarter about leaving his man but can see why the coaches tell him to back himself.

    Hopefully can iron out some of the deficiencies....

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
