How good has he been since hes come back to the side!? I've always rated him and was shocked how he wasn't in the team earlier on the year.

Fast, powerful, courage, 2nd efforts are just some of the traits thats really stood out this year!

On ya Frosty!

Has been enormous, cuts down space quicker than anyone on our list and hurts you the other way.  A Godsend for our defence.

I think the big difference with Frost is he is no longer running around like a chook with no head. When it's on he goes. When it's not he now has the patience/composure to find a better option

The first lesson every Melbourne coach and player should learn is not to count on Frost to know anything. The best approach is to treat him like an athletically-gifted manchild, or else some kind of football-playing robot.

Give him simple instructions and he'll follow them to the best of his absurd athletic ability. Fail to explain things clearly enough though and Sambot will proceed to beat Tom Hawkins in a one-on-one marking contest, but then bolt down the field and hoof it directly to a nest of cats for no reason whatever because his programming has gone haywire.

My post from a month ago.

Thanks for listening Goody.

Hardly any Frostyisms in the last few weeks. Very pleasing. How about him charging off half back and putting it down TMac’s throat?

I still suspect that there will be moments where he’ll stuff up and it will be costly, but I’m accepting that that’s the player we understand we are selecting and won’t bag him when it happens. Really happy with his present form. For his faults, the bloke has serious wheels.

For the majority here who could not see Frost’s value to the team, it is a cop-out now to suggest he is a different footballer now.

He is still prone to the odd poor kick, and god forbid, holding the pill.  While many supporters focus on these, his closing speed and rebound-inducing-overlap is pivotal to a slowish team.

Roos couldn’t believe that he was playing for Casey, as did a few backers here.

Lever’s injury forced our hand; and Frost is sticking it up a majority of supporters and a doubting coaching group.

Should have been in before petty, potentially cost us top 4 spot that decision 

Make no mistake, we would be 2nd on the ladder if Sam Frost had been picked when he should have.

Maybe, that was a turning point for him.?

Has he improved much, since that time?

Having Frost and Hibberd back has really helped Oscar re-discover some poise and confidence as well.

Frosty, love his speed and goes towards goal as a first option. Not many big forwards will catch him.

Frosty's speed and direct running are a weapon. Think his run and direct pass to TMac in Q1 today.

Can't wait for a hb line of Frost, Lever and Hunt. Catch us if you can.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.
