Re-signed in 2017 for 2 years until the end of 2019.

Yeah, but thought there was word kicking around a couple of weeks ago he had re-signed?

Edit - Scratch that, just saw @Demon Forever's other reply. Cheers.

Dollars and term of contract... the curse of a 10-22 ranked player hitting form at signing time .. we know it well.

His worth probably increased 100k per season in 2019.

At least if he goes to Hawthorn they will have to trade unlike us for Langdon.

Second rounder or player if he has to go.

[Lord Nev 13,512]

I really do not want to trade him. He's a unique asset and came a long way in 2019, BUT would we consider Frost for Isaac Smith?

(Not saying I want that, just wondering what the club would be looking at)

Melbourne have not made a formal offer to Frost. Interesting...

Classic Melbourne.

Frost is no super star but at least we gets on the park each week and provides us with some run and dash which we severely lack.

Frosty and Langdon are OOC so both clubs need to trade...are you thinking of Tomlinson who is an RFA.

Say it aint so @Supermercado

I see Hawthorn reckon they haven't met him. Must have just been at Waverley buying a milkshake or something ?

[Wiseblood 24,637]

Sounds like we are still keen to sign him going by this quote:

“When contacted by The Age, Frost's manager Anthony McConville said he was yet to receive a formal contract offer from Melbourne, but he was confident the two parties were having positive discussions.

"He's been told he's a required player at Melbourne," McConville said”

we are 17 so only GC can trump us for Langdon

He just puts his price out there. Freo can have some steak knives if need be. Stretch/JKH or similar.

Hawks could get trumped by 8 odd clubs for Frost.. very different

Not happy if he gets sold

He has the right attitude

I'm a bit confused Diamond_Jim.  Do you mean, in theory, we could get Langdon in the pre-season draft...

yep... he would be an unsigned player

I suspect the GCS would jump at him unfortunately. 

 

[dazzledavey36 55,868]

Just read the article.

It really is a bit of a nothing article. Just mention that hawks havent even met up with him and dees yet to put in a formal offer.

[Demon Dynasty 17,130]

Combo of a 2019 shocker & the Steven May effect?...

[Demonland 73,485]

Sam McClure jumping on the bandwagon.

that's where we need to chat with GCS. Wouldn't be the first time a player got to the club he wanted.

They will also have salary cap constraints and it can comedown to a bluffing game.

Bottom line is that we have to play serious hardball with freo and any talk of our second rounder (almost a first) is way way too high.

He's the one who wrote the article in The Age.

[Demon Dynasty 17,130]

Imagine this team with no Frosty. About the only player we have with a bit of X factor about him and who i look forward to watching now.  Heart in mouth stuff but at least he makes it interesting.

Sounds like a fishing expedition by Mr McConville to see who comes sniffing around, or to make someone panic and throw themselves on the hook

[AaronDaveyChipsAndGravey 390]

Would happily trade him if it meant we got Gunston in.

It's never wrong to bash McClure. Rest easy.

Thank goodness O-Mac is locked away!
