There is no way of truly knowing either way whether he has or hasn't peaked AF.  Whether he's at the MFC or elsewhere, only time will tell.

He isn't a turnover king at all AF.  He had 21 players ahead of him this season.  Does he leave his man behind and the opp score either directly through his opponent or by having a spare up forward when he does turn it over up the field with a few caught out in offensive positions?  Seems likely eh. 

Unfortunately few others down back capable of escaping their opponents much of the time, which probably means they also aren't capable of running in support once he gets on one of his Frostball runs.  Is that lack of run / support more to do with a coaching game style (team rules) issue / or more a confidence / belief thing i wonder?  Or maybe personnel related...just don't have the leg speed in general?

That would mean an adjustment to ensure he finds a target by hand or foot much earlier into his manic runs or a few others need to run in support maybe (or if we don't have them we need to recruit a few in)?  Can't be that hard to fix surely.

Clearly it is, because he still makes stupid errors that a 26 year old shouldn't be making.

Even the champs make occasional stupid errors AF.   Might be a late bloomer being so tall and a bit unco early.  Not saying he''s a champ or must keep player but certainly better than some further down the list that i would move on before him.

Again useless stats.  Surely the fact he is equal with O Mac tells you that.  

I would also argue most players would take on more difficult kicks and this is what impacts their %.  Frost and O Mac both butcher 20m passes.

That is total rubbish.or at least part of it is. Omac is our most reliable kick in our backline

I’d argue Jetta over him, with O Mac ahead of May

Omcd.  Gets beaten man on man. Slow.  Poor decision maker.  Most reliable kick ?  I’m must have been watching another player. Though he is good at 15 metre mini chips that only add to slow down play.

Yep, not a bad argument. But i reckon over 50 metres Omac has Jetts covered. 

A few whispers around suggesting Frost may have re-signed and announcement pending soonish.

I've been hearing it too. But haven't heard from anyone credible yet. If we're not getting Elliot, I imagine that's the only reason we hadn't signed him until now.

Good I hope it’s true.

Surely whatever we're paying Frost isn't the difference between us trying to land Elliott...

I have heard this is 100% correct.  We needed cap space to land Elliot and I dare say if he has stayed at the Pies, then we can afford to keep Frost.

Probably meant we offered more money to Frost. The rumours of Collingwood upping their offer to Elliot and Frost re-signing are too close together to not be a coincidence. I don't know for certain, but that's my gut feel.

I hope the whispers are correct, frostball played some very exciting footy over the last couple of years and it would be a shame to let him slip through our fingers. We have no one that could man him up...........!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


If I had a decisions to choose between Frost and Elliot then i am choosing Elliot, daylight then Frost.

Wouod Keath choosing dogs be another factor? Or is it simply cap space?

If we needed cap space to get Elliott, why would we resign ANB and J. Wagner, who are not best 30 at MFC?

Some serious questions needs to be asked on how the hell that a team finishing 2nd last is bursting at the salary cap??

That you have [censored] fart deals to blokes like Josh Wagner and Alex Neal Bullen for 2 years!? 

Is this Mahoney again doing all this??

Because they would be on base wages and you would still have to replace them.

Because it’s the same team that made the prelim the year before.  So we had a poor year, let’s cut wages!

Not true at this stage, probably not at all.

This is what some of us have been banging on about for years. Our List Management & TPP is a farce. How lucrative it has been to be a good ordinary B or C Grader at the Dees over the years.  Also hasn’t helped overpaying so much for a bloody 3rd tall defender with ACL history.

You’ve got no idea if you think ANB is on Base Payments.

You’ve heard it from Ethan?  :)

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
