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

    Lever must be nervous... or tutoring him.

    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.

    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.

    He actually might be quicker than Hunt....for real.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
