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

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • 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?
