I think many on here would feel more comfortable, if a trade of Frost was linked in some way, either direct, or by use of picks, even shuffling of the pick, to getting another player.

Of course one way or another we will get another player, as unless it is a very low unusable pick, we will use it to draft someone.

Imagine live trading Frost pick (maybe 31ish) plus a future 2nd rounder for pick around 20-23 and selecting Weightman or similar sliding draftee.

Successful clubs don’t do this??? Every team has depth players. 

Ryan Schoenmakers is a perfect example at Hawthorn.  

Ryan Schoenmakers is a PREMIERSHIP PLAYER Hardly Depth I wouldnt have thought!??

You don't think he is depth?

Lewis, O'Brien, Gunston and Nash as tall forwards all get games before him. Even without Roughie who is no longer there. Ceglar and Big Boy also go forward.

Schoenmakers is clearly depth.

Missing the piont he has a Premiership Medallion.Was in best 22 in 2015.

How many of the players I mentioned would have got a game in a GF in Hawks team???

Premiership players are not all superstars. Premiership teams all have their quota of what Jack Dyer called 'good ordinary footballers;.

Well if you are on a list of a club that makes the GF and you are the last fit player left of a certain type, you could get a game.

Plenty of ordinary players have played in GF's.

Can he play the Garlett role, because we need one of those desperately?

If he is that good and not getting a game, they will be lining up for him. Can't see any line.

I was there that day. His job was to run with the likes of Cousins and Kerr take the handball and dish it back to them as they streamed down the field. He did his job perfectly

Sad irony that the player we brought in to replace James Frawley after Hawthorn took him, will now be taken by Hawthorn, looking for a replacement for Frawley

He may have just been there to run after those two, topping them up ??

I noticed today the sky hadn't fallen yet... So no actual Frost news yet?

And we're still talking about Frosty. Wow.

What a slow trade period it is (as always).

The Frost trade’s probably being held up by Hawthorn’s offer of a future 6th round draft pick.

Was carried along in the equivalent of a footy tidal surge for a few years PF amd got lucky.

Played a few decent games but also gifted as many chances in a very good team that could cope with and cover a few NQRs.

All clubs have them and they generally look better when surrounded by a few champs and some very solid team mates who are on a roll.  Problem is many teams don't carry such luxury on their list and some never will.

Only when the tide goes out do you see who's been swimming naked and we saw that after 2015 with Shoey.

I think the trade'd be done if we'd been offered a draft pick of any kind.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
