We must play Frost on a wing & Fritsch forward.

Frost had a poor game on Sat night but his only position is down back running off his man

when 'The General' (May) comes back he will get back to playing well. As he will get instruction and not need to be so accountable/1:1

    Frosty can be a weapon. The classic 80-100m players who can run away from any opposition and drive the ball long into the forward line.  It doesn't have to be "lace out" just so long as the opposition are put under pressure and forced to defend in our forward line.

    Can't kick goals from anywhere else.

    If used tactically and strategically at the right times will make a huge difference to the game plan.

     

    We've been doing this all year.

    It doesn't work unless the forwards actually pressure the defenders (and it requires forwards to be forward of the ball carrier at all times, another problem we've had too often).

    Not sure why we need Frost to do what we're already doing with our current mids.

    Frost should be tried on a wing...no doubt.  Frost reminds me of Liam Jones who would be playing SANFL seconds if he wasn't tried in another position.  Frost doesn't have to be moved, as he is surely top 10 B&F this year for us down back, but we are so one paced and easy to tackle, we have to use these dead rubbers to leave no stone unturned.

     

    Frost should be encouraged to take them on, even if he gets tackled 1 in 6.

     

    If he plays wing, he can run and send a chaos ball into F50.  A chaos ball into F50, means that the defenders don't even know where it's going.  That is got to be better than the disaster of 2019 forward entries.  No surprise that Weed got concussed banging into one of his teammates in the VFL today.  Our forwards have NFI about separation.

    I can't believe this is being advocated as a solution to our woes following what we've seen this year.

    If anything, we need to move away from this.

    Could not agree more.. the only thing worse is the D50 chaos ball he used on Saturday that cost us at least 3 goals

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
