FROSTY FINISH

The dashing backman added a great deal of energy and zest to the Demons defence throughout most of the season but his form tapered off a little toward the end when he found himself in the VFL. There were many who thought the Demons could have used his athleticism in the vital games he missed when a couple of goals could have made all of the difference to their finals campaign. Has resigned on for two more years.

Look forward to a great season next

Maybe try him on a wing next year must

continue to back himself

Disappointing season overall for a player who has been around a while now. I reckon he is another one who is being overloaded with instructions, rather than given one or two things to focus on.

Goodwin needs to decide whether he wants Frost to be a lockdown defender or a more attacking player. I don't think he can do both, particularly not in the zone defence we are currently using.

 

he had a glorious patch but as the season dragged on and the pressure came to bear he completely went to water - he was okay at the last game for casey before the round 23 game, and potentially should've been brought back to face the pies

do i still see him as starting defender in 2018, without / with lever coming on board? 100%

he definitely strikes as the sort of player who just needs to 'do his job' and focus on his objectives - stopping his man getting a free run at the ball in the marking contest, pushing the key forward beyond 50 to receive 'loose' possessions whilst maintaining the pressure upon him, and for god's sake, sort yr short kicking out!

honestly, if you can't pinpoint a pass over 15-35m - with or without having had a couple of bounces of the ball - then you're either not going to make it as an afl player longterm or you need to focus on 'kicking for touch' - and that doesn't mean blazing away, but instead making the strategic decision WHERE to kick it

hunt sorted his short kicking out as the season went on and i'm sure frost can too

turning 25 at the end of next season, he should be entering his prime as a footballer

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
