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.

    So you're after Freddie Clutterbuck Mr Leg!

    Yes there are various ways and means to obtain a result.

    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.

    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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
