Frost shouldn't even be mentioned in the same sentence as Petty and Oscar, as a defender he's 10 Flemington straights in front of those two...

And ten Flemington Straights in front of Viney who's disposal is average!

First article in any media of Frost being re-signed https://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl-daily-rolling-footy-news-from-across-australia-for-wednesday-august-28/live-coverage/267248fd4df505f60a9f82c0f11563e7 (behind paywall)

No mention of length of term, also says Jones will sign on a minimum contract with incentives.

Here's an extract:

DEES SET TO LOCK IN KEY DEFENDER, STALWART

-JON RALPH

Melbourne full back Sam Frost will join Nathan Jones in soon committing to the club as Ed Langdon prepares to move to the Demons.  

Frost turned 26 today and while he has provided some hairy moments with his risky dashes from defence has the pace to be a quality shut-down defender. 

He had been told he is a wanted player, with talks underway.

 

Love Frost, he's an excitement machine who never stops trying and I hope he becomes a 150+ game clubman.

I wish i could like this twice, the stunned mullet look after the tackle is brilliant.

I must say I have a soft spot for Frosty, he continues our tradition of, how should I put this... enigmatic key defenders, Prymke, Shanahan, Ingerson, Nicholson, Carroll.

 

 

 

Frosty's chase and subsequent jumper destroying tackle on Petrucelle in Perth was probably my number 1 favorite highlight for the year!

Nicholson enigmatic? Really? Phlegmatic...maybe.

(I've assumed you're talking about Alistair, not Daniel).

This excites me.

Me too.  He showed genuine improvement this year and, as the third tall (with May and Lever) he could be a real asset in the backline.

More than deserving of a new contract.

Agreed WB, wonder how much interest there was out there for him.

Glad to hear Frost will soon sign a new contract with us.

He is one of the few improved players on the list and one who gives us 100% effort.

You never know really.  Would a Western Bulldogs, or even a St. Kilda, be knocking on his door?  Gold Coast could certainly use him too.  His job on Ben Brown in the final round is proof of his ability, even though he is still prone to the odd brain fade which seems to be a prerequisite of playing for the club.

Yep same same. Ive watched about 30 times I reckon and never get sick of it. Frosty has pace, x factor and grunt. Also he is def getting better at doing the relaible basics a bit better. Certainly in our best 22 imo. Id pick him ahead of Hibbard , Omac and  lever atm and he was better value than Lever at the end of the season. Happy with this news!

I thought Gold Coast might be keen.

Also if i'm not mistaken I believe its his birthday today. Happy Birthday big fella!!!

Couldn’t agree more red. 

Some other players on the list could follow his example. 

Frosty tries his guts out every week. He makes a few blues here and there, but he tries, and his footy is exciting (and only occasionally scary) -and never boring! His effort out back (and up the ground during one of his famed dashes) is something we will need more of next year, and should be looked up to. Frosty, Lever, May, Nev, Hore - makes for a potent backline.

This is great news.

 

Frost has now played 91 games and will hit the 100 game mark next year which really starts to put him in that experienced category now. I can see him elevating his game again if he can work on his deficiencies over the off season.

Sorry Stigga, but Ingerson is an absolute class above any KPD that has played with or after him at our club (May TBD)

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
