And Jayden Hunt form permitting 

I'm a little bit more interested in him after another pre-season, but yes, absolutely best 22 when in form.

Never doubted him for a second.
Gonna be a weapon off half back.

[qwerty7 315]

Perhaps somewhat over the top, but I said preseason to my family that he would make All Australian if he were to be given a decent and consistent run of games. We should never have dropped him, but glad to see him in the team come finals.

love him

[DeezNuts 624]

Been a big fan of Frosty since he joined us, I’m not too fussed about others only now getting on board, I’m just glad the cat is out of the bag now!

Someone said earlier that he’s probably the most pure athlete in the game right now, I agree, teams must really be scratching their heads looking at our list over the next few years.

[MudDogs Gawn Win.. someday 499]

This man is on fire. I hope he lines up on Hawkins and gives him an absolute bath next week.

His disposal has improved out of sight. Same goes with his decision making!

[Males 577]

Always a fan of his athleticism, but even though I never bagged him here, I wasn't impressed by his decision making or foot skills. Other then his mistake of leaving Hawkins 30mtrs on his own last time we played the cats, he seems to have improved both immensely.

Great work to the coaching staff, in either working and improving those deficiencies, or in keeping him at Casey to build his confidence up if that's all it was? The last two games, against good opposition, he's looked good for the whole game, not just a few mins of it. ??

[CBDees 3,162]

The sweetest thing about Frosty is that we traded him from the Giants! 

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,578]

That play a few weeks back against the Swans when he turned with ball in hand and burnt off Lance Franklin like the later was standing still was the highlight of an otherwise forgettable game.  Perhaps in retrospect, Franklin was carrying an injury, but was still an impressive feat.

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

I think we will be doing well to get more than 2 out of Lewis, but hopefully by that time, his work imparting knowledge and confidence is done.

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. 

?. I rather compare him to a gazelle

Frost instead of Petty against the Saints and we are top 4 right now. 

Ancient history.  Time to move forward, only change what can be changed, and enjoy the finals.

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. 

Then I'm a genius and a fool.

 

As for Jordie.  I am crossing my fingers and toes in every minute in finals, on the big expanses of the MCG, against the best teams/coaches in the AFL.

He's coming on in leaps and bounds. He's making less errors, hitting targets and backing himself.

Go Frosty!

Funny what happens when given the chance. Have always been a fan. Reminds me a bit of glass from the eagles. He wasn’t too bad!

[Dee Dee 1,043]

As exciting as Hunt but a damned sight more powerful. A great game yesterday, thrilling to watch.

[nosoupforme 3,085]

Frosty Isn't playing any different he broke the lines and ran hard tackled well and still makes his mistakes just like anyone who plays the game they do make mistakes. However tha'ts ok as long as he takes the game on and l rate him highly. Goody got it wrong when Frosty wasn't given the first option and was not given the second option either as he was certainly out of favour. Big bodied players have an advantage if they know how to use it. It took the loss to St kilda to realise that we needed a big body with elite pace to come in that could break the lines . Cost us dearly the most vital 4 points. We will move on and learn from it.

Well said. What a game from him yesterday!

[Superunknown 3,311]

He was epic

[Deeoldfart 7,720]

Harmesy, Gus and Frosty.  Wow, that's some huge improvement in critical areas of our team, all in the space of a couple of months.  No wonder we are hitting September with momentum.  The sort of stuff that dreams are made of!

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

Too bloody right! Frost was the man who should have been down back - Paul Roos saw it and that is good enough for me. It was an absolute disgrace to rely so heavily on the 'lethargic' and indecisive OMac for such a role. Frosty is one of our best.

[juzzk1d 1,354]

This is where season ending injuries to important blokes like Lever really have a silver lining.

If our backline remained healthy and firing on all cylinders, I doubt Frost ever gets back in our best 22 and playing the sort of footy that has seem him become one of the most improved players of 2018 in the entire league. 

He has been an absolute revelation with his closing speed, spoiling, and his run off half back we can now confidently say Frost is the gorilla backman with x factor we were desperately hoping he'd become.

While that is probably true, there is also a good chance that picking Petty over Frost gave Sam the extra motivation to work harder on the areas he needed to and that decision could have been the spur for him to be playing as he currently is.

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.
