2017 Player Reviews: # 17 Sam Frost

Featured Replies

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

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.
