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.

    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.

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

    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

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

    I suspect the GCS would jump at him unfortunately.

    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.

    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.

    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

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
