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.

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

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.

    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

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.
