The truth is that he has improved not by much and although he has been given the exposure  most recently he was always the better prospect than Oscar because he plays the game on instinct.Knows to take on the game on. I was so furious with him not been selected as first choice for Lever. Try and get him out of the side now.   With respect Omac.  

Personally, I disagree with that truth.

 

To me he is showing more composure and smarts than I have seen in him previously

OTC Goodwin said Frost had acknowledged what he had needed to do to get back in the game. Must have been something, Goodwin doesn't seem to play favourites, I think he's actually quite honest with the players about what they need to do, and I don't think he'd fib about something like that, as it could bite him in the derriere in terms of trust with his players.

@CBDees I thought the same thing, we seem to do much better than Carlton with Giants rejects, the John West of player recycling, thank you Mr Taylor.

Agree. So much confidence, strength and dash on Sunday, and his disposal, general awareness and use of options massively improved. 

Bring on Hawkins.  

 

PS Oscar’s awareness and disposal also much improved.  I think working as a defensive unit with confidence in one another is working wonders.   Where does Lever fit in? Nice dilemma for the match committee.

Sam Frost, shortly after launching the first football to land on the moon.

The bloke is a beast.

I love how Frost was able to throw the boot on his ball knowing there were forwards forward of the ball in the forward line to kick it to.

How times have changed.

I respect your opinion, the improvement is there R G However he has been back in the side since round 16 and played 8 straight games and the team has improved as well. Played 66 games now and more experience than some given the nod in front of him. I am not disagreeing with you. I think we are on the same page. Read his Player Bio on the Melbourne web site if you have time. That explains it a little.

We are not far apart on opinions and I do enjoy the opinions here, though many I don’t respect ? (that is not a personal dig), personally, I think Frost is a much better player this year, I had him a long way behind Oscar before the season started, now I see the nucleus of a potentially fantastic defence with the pair of them, Lever to come in and our very, very good smaller size defenders.

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.

Hopefully Hunt can see Frosts successes, and adapt as well; because they were both carrying the ball like headless chooks.

Frosty has learned to get ontop of his lapses of composure.  So far so good.

 

Over to you Hunty.

TMac raved about Frosty years ago and I always believed he’d arrive.  He’s done proud to appear to be our best KPD now.

Never really understood the point of these threads. 

Frost has killed us at times in the past with his erratic style of play so I'll never be sorry about being voicing my frustration at some of his shocking games.

But I will admit that I didn't think he'd be able to come back into the side at this time of the year and contribute more positively than negatively to the side. I like him much better when he makes simple decisions and gives off early.

Finals is a new ball-game for players like Frost who don't possess a lot of composure of smarts. I can only hope his form continues and he plays a starring role against Hawkins on Friday week.

Well done to date though, Sam.

I must say i never had great confidence frost would morph into a great player, but i did have lot of hope. His stature, athleticism and speed were always impressive and a good foundation. He was/is very similar to a young stef martin or alex rance with that bit of unco and dodgy decision making. If he continues to develop as they did we will have a weapon. my hope is morphing into confidence.

go sam, go dees

Another fine performance by Frosty! Just a rock in defense and I've noticed his starting to take intercept msrks down back which i havent seen from him before.

Does he get Roughead??

[Demon Jack 6,909]

A physical and athletic beast. Great to see how much his disposal has improved as well.

Something had clicked.
