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.

    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 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?  :)

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
