I'm not thrilled about this like many other posters. I think he is good one on one, takes a good mark. Granted, he has massive brains fades and at times makes poor decisions. The two when weighed against each other make him an average player - but he's an average player I would rather keep. I think the club is banking on May being fit all year (when was the last time this happened), Lever regaining pre ACL form and Marty Hore filling a gap too. Lots of what ifs there and I think that is the main reason why a lot of posters are anxious about letting a know quantity - despite his limitations - go. Particularly if the outcome leads to O McDonald getting games. 

 

Hawks will offer a fourth rounder for Frost. And knowing Mahoney, he’ll take it with a smile on his face.

They got Scully for a fourth rounder (albeit with an injury cloud) , no way they’d offer anything more for Frost.

Hawks have pick 30ish. It will probably be that.

Close enough to his value. Would like it to be 5 picks earlier, but not going to happen.

 

Yeah I'd have him at ~20-25. I'm thinking 30 and 47, for Frost and 58 might get it done.

Gunston would be a player we could look at in a trade.

I'd consider that.  He's 28 yeah? Seems a reasonable deal for both parties.

 

The tour that Hawthorn claimed didn't happen must have been a raging success.

I see people talking about "touring facilities" all the time.

The current Hawks wouldnt bother with that. They just email a pic of the trophy cabinet and a copy of a contract.

Reckon you're right ... Frost being uncontracted gives us very little leverage.  None really.

Talk of Frost having to go to the draft again is not going to happen either. 

We might be able to eke out a 3rd rounder but I'm not holding my breath.

In my 30 years supporting this club we appear to struggle more than any other club in retaining players we actually *need*. We fill areas that have holes but then lose assets in other areas. I know that the balancing act isn't easy but we are losing too much depth, too often.

It will be a late 2nd rounder.

 

This Club will shake ya and try and break ya. 

Everyone is forgetting that we have Petty coming through also. Yes he was experimented with forward at different stages but he'll end up a rock solid KPD. The best asset Frost has is his speed, and tbh you'd prefer to leave that stuff to your small backs then the big hulks

26-year-old key position player. We are pushing him out the door.

He'll get to Hawthorn anyway if he falls into the draft.

Petty will be a key forward.

I think Petty is a good forward prospect,

Not happy that Whorethorn get another “Cheapie”. 

He will be a good player under Clarkson...

Goodwin has his balls on the line next year so i watch with interest

The panic and naivety around Frost leaving is hilarious. 

Definitely pushed and should be a depth player.

Our defensive system will be a lot more solid now. Every defender can trust their team mate will be where he should be.

Frostball means chaos in the back half and the only part of the ground where chaos works is the forwardline. 

Hawthorn's defensive system now has a part that can be exploited by the opposition.

That's only your opinion that we need him, it's clearly not the FD's collaborative opinion.

I'll buy you a slab of beer, or whatever your poison is, if there are more than half the games next year, where some of us shaking our fists at the skies wishing we had Frosty.

No point overpaying a limited player, we'll do that enough with free agents, if we can get something for Frost instead of signing him up to an expensive deal then dropping him to the VFL then I can live with that.

If Hawthorn are willing to pay him more than we are then you'd think there's at least a 3rd round pick coming back. 2nd rounder is optimistic but we can hope.

You''ll be watching with interest irrespective eh...

Lot of people here seem to think that the club has faith in O-Mac to fill Frost's void.

I reckon Petty is the guy they rate who will fill that void R1 2020. Know the club rates him highly and was drafted as a KPD despite his success up forward in the back half of the year

Agree to disagree. Was thrown forward out of necessity, played his entire career before that as a KPD. He performed well up there but can't see it being permanent. Time will tell

Not if the first few Rounds are like 2019, i won’t be. 

26 year old Key Position Player with speed

Clarkson will be stoked

This is a terrible outcome. With May and Lever continually injured we don’t have much back up. He was our best lock down defender this year. 

 

I think we'll go with Petty down back next year with 2 KPFs (Weid and T-Mac) with Tomlinson to back up max

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
