“I think they’re paying massive money to Lever and May and Frost is their best defender,” Riewoldt told SEN.

“I’m more confident in Frost at the moment than the other two to beat a man.

“If I was playing tomorrow and the three of them lined up I reckon I’d find it harder to get a kick on Frost than the other two.

“I know Frost can stuff it up from time to time, but he gives great effort.”  (https://www.foxsports.com.au/afl/afl-2019-nick-riewoldt-garry-lyon-unpack-issues-at-melbourne/news-story/c4d626fff76702fe3ad9cb27ffc7ad87)

 

 

100% effort and speed.  No wonder most of you wanted him delisted from the club earlier this year.  Like the club, it's in our DNA not to value what we lack.

David King was too smart for his own good with the kryptonite comment.  As far as our supporters go, probably the other end of the spectrum.

 

 

Stick it up them Frosty.

Who says we don't accept mediocrity here at Demonland.

 

 

Now this is overly harsh statement on Frosty as i agree with the sentiment from the op.

But to agree you have to accept there are flaws.

And this is why i love Demonland. On one hand the sky is falling and on the other we are happy to blindly ignore the issues.

Looking forward to expert commentary

Frosty - sometimes wrong, but never in doubt!

And never boring.

Any coincidence that he's played his best footy with Lever and/or May by his side? 

Frost has some great attributes. He could save us a game. 

He also has some astoundingly bad qualities. And could lose us a game.

I’ve been sticking it up the Frost bashers for over 12 months.  Great to be Proven correct.

When did that happen?

Will be happy to see him go at season’s end.

I would back May personally...

Much better player and one on one defender.

He did the year, didn’t he? Heroics against Hawthorn if I recall.

His run up the Guts last year in the Final, against Whorethorn was poetry in motion

The kick not so much, but hey, it still resulted in a goal!

Love to see Frost ragdoll him like he did to Riewoldt last night...

That was very impressive WWS. Frost has really gained in strength and his attack on ball carrier the last few seasons. Becoming a pretty powerful athlete.

Tyson - 27 possessions @ 59% efficiency. 19 of his disposals were handballs and half his possessions uncontested. 3 tackles, 0 score involvements and 0 assists.

Seriously. 

There's nowhere to hide man.

He is a bit over rated by many IMO steve.

Viney for Tyson when fit.

Frost for Wags.

Watts for Stretch.

That will be our best line up for finals if we make it.

Hogan is our guy, but sadly we flood the goal square the bomb it long over and over, so he has no chance to mark it.

Get the hell out of the goal square people, make a lead. If hogan can't mark it, Jeffy can grab the scraps.

But nope, lets bomb it long to 15 guys and hope for the best. Genius.

And bombing it today was the worst of all options as they had a very tall backline.   Pretty basic but clever selection by the Pies

Still can't understand why Frost wasn't included to add extra height down back and extra run off HB as well.

Playing the 8 man defence would make a little more sense to me if he was included when playing it for the extra run & carry on the rebound off the other flank to compliment Hibberd

Coming up to 90 games. Will be hitting that peak 100 games mark. Another experienced defender that we need to sign at years end.

Posted

There was a post on here only a week or so ago saying that Frost turnovers resulted in twice as many scores against us as the next player

He does some good things and is pretty good 1 on 1 but his brainfades are unacceptable. He is not the answer and if we are relying on him to be a long term answer we're going nowhere.

If our players had the endeavour as Frosty has we would be in a better place than we are at the moment. Absolutely!

Remember the chase that caught Petruccelle  the fleet footed WCE player that tried to take Frosty on,  Chased him down caught  him and from the back of the jumper and dragged him like a rag doll, literally.

 Frosty is one of a few players that l feel comfortable about when he is picked to play.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
