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

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

  • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

    A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
