At the start of the year he would have been regarded as around 18-28 in the rankings. I suspect he has now moved to the 14-18 bracket.

We seem to be having this problem with a few players not necessarily having linear development.. ie Brayshaw and Tom Mac. Nice problem to have IF they continue on the upward cycle. With improvement in his disposal Frost has the ability to get to the 10-14 bracket.

You're understating it. According to the Demonland Player of the Year, he's currently our 7th best player and we all know that as a group, Demonland is never wrong.

Point taken however I would like to think that his ranking this year reflects our terrible form rather than his underlying ability.

;)

Frosty brings something different to our back-line, pace.

So long as he curbs his ability to run himself into trouble, he is worth having in the team everyday of the week compared to SLOMAC, and twice on Sundays.

If true we are chasing Keath, i wouldn't mind seeing him come in at the expense of Oscar.

 

In Frost we trust, future captain.

I wouldn't mind seeing Donald Duck come in at the expense of OMac.


Surely Frost stays after his best season! 

Although it is tempting to throw more first rounders at Adelaide for Keath. Get him, and that's three or four first rounders plus Jesse Hogan for our three tall defenders (not to mention about $2m per year). 

Makes even more sense when the team's strength is its forward line.

we have not seen the best of frost, keep him. i would try him on a wing, his speed and height would be an asset there.

Wow!

Just clueless.

Frost still has Frost moments, but he gives us a different dynamic down back with his speed and dash. If we have a Lever and May fit and healthy next year then Frost will go up another level. The big improvement for me has been his intercept marking.

Closing in on 100 games next year so another experience defender we need down back.

Must re-sign asap.

Maybe he prefers ANB at CHB.

Anyone got a list of the other players out of contract at the end of this season?

There's a really good pinned thread at the top of the board.

I am not anti Frosty but I am amazed he hasn't copped the flak O Mac has.

He's not a bad player, but he makes a lot of turnovers which go over the umpires hat.... But he's not alone there.

 


Frost is out of contract and playing good football. He is driving his own price up and probably the interest of other clubs. 

I can't see Melbourne keeping him. We have May, Lever, Jetta, Hibbo, OMac is cheap and we look better with Lewis in there somewhere. Probably bring in a fresh defender. 

Other than speed and unpredictability Frost also competes with his direct opponent.There are  many, many examples of his second and third efforts and scrounging ground balls to advantage,

Compared to Oscars insipid contests give me Frosty everytime. Show him the money Please.

Reckon he would be a good wingman; reckon he is an asset at CHB. If he didn't have to double-team when OMac is in the team, he'd be a helluva backman across a whole game rather than being exhausted by the third quarter time after covering his own man and that of OMac for the first three quarters. Frosty is developing a style - it is just unconventional; he is going to be even more effective in the future so sign him up now.

I think this is correct...

PRIMARY LIST:

Baker
Garlett
Frost
Jones
Kennedy Harris
Lewis
Maynard
Neal-Bullen
J.Smith
Stretch
J.Wagner

ROOKIE LIST:

Chandler
Keilty
T.Smith
C.Wagner
Bradtke
Walker

Wasn't there media coverage just a couple of days ago confirming Jones has renewed for one more year?

Addendum: A quick web search suggests that Jones has yet to sign on but has apparently been offered a one year deal by the club.

He worked on his game to be able to run fast and then kick short. He may not always hit targets but its obvious he listens to what he needs to do. I am glad so many are wanting him to stay.

Frost is deadly. I love his speed, aggression, tackling and heart. I'm rapt so many others on here want him to stay at Melbourne. So do I. This is a thread that is SO refreshingly optimistic and much needed at this point in time.

Hasn't cost us 1.6 million like the other two

SIGN HIM UP!!

Really?? Wow close on our most improved player and in a Carnage year, I'll take Frost anyday of the week. PACE, RUN, INTERCEPT MARKING, HAS SOME SERIOUS X factor. Other clubs would love to get him and if we turn our backs and Blink. Bang he will be gone. Time to resign PRONTO

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
