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.

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
