My 3 word player analysis v North Melbourne

[La Dee-vina Comedia 16,950]

Frost - heart in mouth

Salem - Joeboy's rare error

To expand (which is cheating on this thread), after Waite threatened to dominate the game in the first fifteen minutes, Frost then took over and made sure Waite had no impact. Good coaching by Goodwin to have our quickest, tall defender on North's oldest player. However, everytime Frost gets the ball it's a heart in mouth moment as to what happens next. Not too dissimilar to some of Tom McDonald's games as a defender.

Any small forward who kicks 3 goals in a game has had an excellent outing. Garlett is opportunistic, and without big key talls up forward (Hogan playing half up the ground and no TMac), his crumbing chances are almost zero. He has been in fine form this year and if he kicks 2-3 goals a game he will be AA!

correct. You want him scaring the hell out of defenders when they have the ball which he is doing. Number of possessions for him is unimportant - it is shots on goal. If he has 7 touches and kicks 3-4 goals you would be delighted. He is doing just fine.

Would prefer Frost at Casey...we will struggle in big games if we need to rely on him, he's just not reliable. No football IQ.

I hope Petty comes on quickly & Hunt finds form.

I like Frost. He has some good weapons. He does have some flaws though so its a matter of weighing up whether these are killers.

Made a couple of very ordinary blues in the first - particularly leaving Waite and then deciding not to go to the contest - but thought he got a lot better. Given it was his first game I am prepared to cut him some slack but I suspect with him you will always have basis for complaints.

I too hold out hopes for Petty as the mail is very good on him....

Provided he is also pressuring the opposition, I think that’s all you can ask from a goal sneak. 

He is definitely not someone I expect to rack up the touches.

Mine is a generic statement.

I think Frost was actually pretty good after quarter time.  He took some very nice intercept marks, took them on and nailed some very nice attacking kicks.  I'm all for keeping him in the side.
