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.

    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

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

    Petty will be a key forward.

    Not happy that Whorethorn get another “Cheapie”.

    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.

    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

    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: 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.
