Farewell Sam Frost

Demon Forever
in Melbourne Demons

Featured Replies

Some say we should have kept Frosty because he's a fan favourite, but that's only because he kept kicking the footy to them.

    I had a Strange Fantastic Dream last night!!

    FROSTY WON THE NORM SMITH MEDAL IN 2020 In yet another inspiring display for the Hawks.

    Just remind me again Why we did this?? which will come back a bite us Hard on the rrrse!

    Love this album 'picket', but there are a fair few drug references on it.

    It would indeed be a strange fantastic drug induced (Too much Chicken S...) dream for Frost to win a Norm, not a chance in real life...

    I suggest we all bid him a Jamaican Farewell, get over it and get on with season 2020.

    What team in their right mind trades their fastest speedster?. It'll finally click for Frost within a couple of years, and he's going to embarrass us when we meet Hawthorn. Honestly, all the best Frosty.

    Yeah, wonder if the Hawks will give him another 8 years for things to "finally click". Laughable. If it hasn't clicked by now, it won't.

    I feel like we have given up Dustin Martin with the way some of these campaigners on here are carrying on.

    quite the opposite really, I don't think they have panicked at all. if they had they would of made some of the dumb decisions poster's on this site have been ranting about.

    You probably said the same when a few posters thought that the Neeld appointments was a mistake.

    Didn't read demonland then and the neeld appointment was always a mistake made by a dud board.

    If this thread is going to continue can we please refer to Frost by his full name - “Future Brownlow Medalist Sam Frost”.

    I cannot think of any other player on our list who improved to the same extent in 2019 that Frosty did. Many in fact went backwards IMHO.

    To say that there is no role for him with Lever and May having an injury-free preseason (which hasn’t happened yet) is ingenious and defies  the role that he played this year in a ramshackle back half.

    Could not agree more CB

    Some on here really are sycophantic followers of the desperate Goodwin

    Jack Watts says hi! Even though he left before Jesse.

    I'll Put my hand up.

    i was disappointed we let Watts go and disappointed we let Hogan go.

    But I didn't know the full story and supported the club. I think we missed both but have also moved forward with a better list.

    Also disappointed that Frosty's gone but think we have improved the list. 

    Watts and Hogan haven't gone on yet to be unqualified stars of the like of Burgoyne, Jarman, Ablett Wanganeen, who can singlehanded affect a clubs fortunes. I am sure Frosty's not in their league and I reckon we have enough stars to step upthat we will not miss him.

    im looking for our current list with the new additions to really step up and surprise many other clubs.

    This is the first year of the Demons. We can win and continue for another 4 years as the kids hit their straps.

    That is unlikely DP.  If you can reference anywhere (other than game day mascots) where we are "the Demons" pls i would be astounded.

    That aspect of the club commenced back in the day, courtesy of the great Checker Hughes as you no doubt know, and began a slow dearh starting with Cam's attempt to change our colours to maroon and blue years back (working under cover on a covert Vlad operation to destroy any remnant of the Demon spirit...a la Fitzroy ... the only reasonable explanantion of course!) whilst gradually removing any reference to the 'scary' Demons in all marketing material and clothing etc.  The nail in the coffin the "we are Melbourne" vomit dished up a few years back.

    Hmmm yeah you got me.

    I refer to Demonland and support the Dees. Wear my old Melbourne Demons branded hats scarves shirts and jackets.

    Perhaps this schizophrenic support is the root of our problems.

    I have always argued that we are Melbourne ever since the aborted Hawthorn takeover. I continue to maintain the Melbourne name is our strongest ally in avoiding relocation etc. Also Melbourne should be more definitively used as marketing an promotion identity, leveraging off every other "Melbourne" campaign.

    Still don't want to dilute the passion of my statement. We, Melbourne Football Club, must retain our rightful place as the premiere club.

    We must win a premiership!

    It's not  sycophancy, some don't just need to quote the bleeding obvious in every thread

    If we have a poor year again of course Goodwin's job will be under the microscope

    Not sure where you get the desperate from

    This is amazing on Frost, liked him as a bloke, loved the fun of watching him take off on one of his runs, head in hands at some of his decision making and ball skills

    This constant reference to speed, Richmond won the flag, and apart from a couple of small forwards, they had no real speeders, just good decision makers and ball users

    No wonder Goody is going all in on Bennell and Murray.

    We have negligently overlooked speed and outside run for years; and the penny finally dropped for the so-called brains trust.

     

    Now the over-reach and massive gambling.

    1. Strong Bennell > Murray consideration.

    2. You say yourself that one more average year = essentially goodbye.

     

    Surely you can do your own maths.

    Perhaps you'd prefer we were going to bring back Trenners and McLean? Club cannot put a foot right IYHO.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
