It's like the penny has dropped with him. His positioning and decision making since his return has improved out of sight. I can't recall him getting caught in no man's land in recent times which was my biggest criticism of him.

In full flight he does remind me of a couple of old blasts from the past. Gary "Crazy Horse" Cowton and our own Russell "Rhino" Richards. One was a bloody good player. The other could have been

    Frosty has done an amazing job down back. Well done Frosty?

    Used to love Slamming Sammy Kekovich in the 70’s now I have another Slamming Sam. 

    Did a great job today but has to be supported in the finals so he can play to his strengths.

    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!

    With ya. I was so relieved when he got back into the first team. He really counterbalances Oscar's lethargy.

    Let's be honest, he was thrown under the bus by a lot of supporters; i've got the sneaking suspicion that supporters claiming now is he's a much improved player, are doing so to validate their harsh criticisms. He has improved yes, but so have heaps of our players.

    Do I [censored] my pants every time he has the footy? Yes. Is he doing an amazing job shutting down some seriously good forwards? Hell yes. Am I excited to see him run rings around big butt Hawkins? Ohhhh yeah!!!

    Up the snowman!

    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.

     

     

    Because right now is the best time for point scoring.

    It might be the one plus about Lever going down. It’s hard to tell if Frost would have gotten the chance but he took it on with both hands and has clearly improved. Much more than the giraffe that escaped from the zoo.

    The man is a specimen....would have to be just about the most powerful raw athlete in the AFL and now he's starting to learn to play serious footy too

    Oh boy what do we do with him now?!

    Lever and OMac can't be moved... And he has earned his spot in the 22 for next year.

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

    Understatement of the year, amazing how you get shot down for calling for Frosty before Lever goes down.

    Now all the Pole smokers have come out of the woods, stroking the Frostmiesters bits.

    I've been going oh god oh (something) for 98% of his career. Something about how he'll gather and automatically run off his man at every opportunity. TMac actually did this a lot too when he played as a defender...

    So I guess what I'm saying is... Frost to kick 50 goals a year in a few seasons?

    I’m going to persist in reminding all the Frost knockers how bloody stupid they were and how little they really understand the development of a tall afl player because they were relentless in their bagging of him. 

    There are also some fools who have been relentless in their posting that Jordan Lewis should never play again.  Boy has Jordan made them look stupid!

    They must all be embarrassed by their poor judgement.

    Huge love for Frost, and works well in combination with Hibberd, he also has some go in him, puts a hurt on the opposition with his body contact. His speed totally destroys the forward 50 pressure of the opposition, we don't leak runs of goals with him in the team. With Lever back next year (who can rotate with Lewis off the bench we will be Lions '01-'03 like with our rebound.

    Backline in general looks better.. less zoning more one on one defence.

    Our backline next year will be OMac, Lever, Hibberd, Frost, Lewis, Jetta and Salem, Wagner floating back, we’re gonna be a gun side for 3-4 years

    And that is, by far and away, our weakest third on the ground. ?

    • 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.

      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.
