Would like to hear from Mahoney why we are giving up our fasted defender???

He won't stack the dishwasher when it's his turn and he's always leaving the dunny seat up

Sad to see him go but with four other key defenders vying for a spot not surprised he may be going. What irks me is that  he was one of few improvers this season. I just hope all the others just had an off season.

I know it's not easy, but we need to wait and see what the next few months hold for the club before we pot this decision.  These cannot be taken in isolation.  Who knows what we have up our sleeve.  We may have nothing, or we may have something that we can now do with the money we might have paid Frosty.

I'm 50/50 about this, but will wait and see further outcomes before getting annoyed or excited by it.

Not as disappointed in this as I thought I’d be.  If we can come out of this trade period with only losing Frost from our 22, that’s not a bad result.

A gain of Langdon, Elliot and Tomlinson will soften the blow.

Is this the same player that has been roundly criticised by most supporters over the years for running around like a chook with its head cut off & the worst disposal in the team.

Now he’s one of our best & we’re up in arms about him being traded

Which one is it???

No one is saying he is one of the best, but has been best 22 all year and played his heart out through a dismal season. Held his head up when others dropped their bundle. That counts for plenty.

Can’t stop thinking about that flare-up between him and May at the GABBA. I wonder if he decided to leave then n’ there.

Probably not!

On a scale of durability of MFC defenders, Frost is at a 9/10 whereas everyone else seems to be sub 5/10.

Hoping Burgess can change things around but I do like a player who comes up week after week.

What and going to Hawthorn to be coached by one of the hardest coaches in the game will be all roses and vanilla?

Spare me.

Yes Steve what value should MFC put on resilience, the ability to get on the park for a club that year on year carries 10 plus on the injured/rehab list for as long as I can remember.

I said that somewhere here at the time and thought it again tonight when I heard he was going.  Imagine copping it from May, the new bloke on the block who was not match fit.

Big difference between being told something by a multiple premiership winning coach and an unfit bloke from the bottom side.

Trades in and out are always subjective and I'm not in the Chicken Licken camp on this one. One swallow doesn't make a summer and all that...

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
