A great run from Frostball - sign him up.!!!!

Posted

From an insider at the Club ... Frostie's asking price is way too high!! Club not prepared to pay what he (or his manager) is asking. If he doesn't lower his expectations, the Club will let him go.

Not surprised, I heard him interview on SEN the other week and the guy has serious tickets on himseld.

Any other insider news?

If that's true would need to get his head out of his [censored]. If another club is willing to pay more good luck to them, if he wants to stay I wouldn't kick him out but I wouldn't jeopardise the salary cap paying a backup KPD stupid money.

Yep, I read the article posted after that interview. He didn’t mind pumping up his own tyres, seriously overrating himself.

Hnmm managers the parasites that exist. Why cant players do the deals themselves?????

Well I reckon pay him another 100 -150 gs over what he gets now over 3-4 years

Not as much as most on demonland or Facebook, the amount of people going on saying keep him at all cost, who wouldn't have a big head.

Apparently he's the fastest at the club? The "face" of the club at GF?

OR 

was that his opportunity to increase his salary?

You know, win this Frosty and you go up a pay grade, lose and you don't?

What’s he asking?

I would love to know what players are getting starting with Petracca, Viney and Hibberd.

You watch him get the money he wants, and become a Gun Player.

His Training has only just begun. Look at what Richmond have done with Soldo  He had never played the game until a few years ago  Frost is raw, yes, but his upside could be enormous 

Our List Management is a joke if we can’t pay Frost. Jesus he was the only one who had a red hot go all season. 

Meanwhile we pay Jones another years salary to jog around....

I'd move Jones on and trade Viney. But I also wouldn't keep Frost by overpaying him. Here's the problem. He's not very good.

The same posters that are bemoaning Tomlinson's seeming recruitment are the same ones championing Frost's re-signing.

I think Frost will be a Gun with the proper intensive training. 

It says more about our Football Department to me. Frost has the right attitude, the skills can be learnt from the right people

Mate, if he hasn't learnt the skills and decision making during his 8 years on two AFL lists, when are we hoping he does learn? After he's signed a big chunky contract with us? That'd be right.

You're inconsistent, mate. You're constantly saying we're bent over and here you are, standing in a metaphorical park, waiting for a metaphorical rogering.

Not trade related. But Brayshaw wasn't played in the middle all year because he had back issues.

I think I've seen you post this before, mate. Are these back issues chronic or recoverable over this pre season?

Given we were out of finals contention after about round 6, why was he played "all year" then and not sent off for treatment?

I reckon he doesn’t have the football smarts to become a gun, he’s a limited footballer. The best he’ll do is possibly play under a better coach and for a better team which may see him become less erratic. Time will tell.

I think he's become less erratic at Melbourne, but he's just not a natural footballer and decision making is very hard to teach under pressure. Certainly, if he hasn't learnt it by now at 26, he won't.

I don't understand the hypocrisy from those who lament that Weideman is a bust as a 21 year old who hasn't dominated a game yet, while they applaud Frost (who has never dominated either) and is 26 years old.

Big difference between a 23 year old ruckman and a 26 year old key defender who played in junior squads and has spent a long time on lists at two different clubs.

The upside to Frost was this year. Defending improved, marking drastically improved, short kicking was better. Decision making still awful.

Frost has been a good servant and has shown incremental improvement since we traded him in. 

That said, if we bring in Tomlinson as FA at no cost and trade out Frosty for a second rounder we’re in front.

That's not right. You have talent, or you don't, you don't learn it. It can be honed, so as to be used in the best way, but you can't teach talent.

If you could, we would grab anyone and teach them how to be an AFL footballer.

Maybe thats why Tigers are winning flags as players are more team orientated...

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury.

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
