Farewell Sam Frost

[Ethan Tremblay 30,825]

“Insert angry post about us getting bent over and taking pick 97 for Frost and Clarkson turning him into the best wingman in the comp here”

And then mention O-Mac.

I swear, if I see another (nearly identical) post about letting go of Frost and keeping Omac... We get it! You're not the first person to get angry about the potential trade and post it. In fact, you're not even the 500000th person to complain!

Frost is absolutely 100% out the door. He wants to stay, MFC don't want him. 

There was an interview with Josh Mahoney  a few days ago on one of these threads from Trade Radio or SEN, can't remember where, but he basically said it without saying it. If you know what I mean.

Yep. I heard it. Talked Frost down basically saying he did well but we had a lot of players out. Something along those lines. Didn’t sound like there was an option for Frost to stay.

Yes i saw that. But nothing is 100% till papers are signed..

At this point Frosty is still in the Red and Blue Corner, terms have to be right before he goes

I have seen this too, trying to find something solid. 

Frosty is in Nashville right now with Max and James Harmes. All smiles

You mean your reliable source hasn't got you to witness the contract? 

I'm shocked.

Looks like the Dorks trying to seriously low-ball us may just come back to bite em!

I wonder why!

[Ethan Tremblay 30,825]

I don’t think the Hawks are low-balling us. Take into consideration that we haven’t offered Frost a new contract and Mahoney coming out and saying we were happy for him to talk to other clubs. Nothing about him being a required player. 

From the outside he looks like an un-wanted player and certainly not worth the second round pick we’d all like.

Yeah those 11 disposals 4 tackles and 2 goals were definitely looked at seriously as a potential Norm Smith winner ?‍♂️

Fmd some people are really simple.

Cyril Rioli would be proud of those stats.

From the looks of it, we aren’t expecting much. We just don’t want him and are happy for another club to take him. It’ll get done whenever the clubs want.

oMac is contracted Frost is not. That's about the only difference in the club's position on the 2.

That being said, frost is a far superior player. Omac is not.

but you wouldn't say that if you compared omac to frost at the same age as omac

just saying

What would the Hawks give us?

Hawks have Pick 11,30,50,87.

Pick 30 is about right I think , 50 is Unders of the back of his 2019.

This is where Mahoney and co need to be smarter when discussing our own players during trade week. Talk them up even if you don't rate them helps drive up the price. We suck at this

I agree, it's a game of poker and Mahoney appears to have the worst poker face of all. Should be talking him up, saying things like he still has a future at Melbourne. 

I feel like we're going to end up with pick 50 or maybe an exchange of picks. 30 is for me too high for him, 50 (should be) unders for him. If they get access to a pick in the mid/late 30s or early 40s I think that would be about right.

Right, because opposition recruiters base their player ratings on a few puff pieces in the press during trade week.

The only thing that might have driven up the price on Frost would have been fewer turnovers and goals out the back, but it's a bit late for that now.

[Redleg 40,817]

Frost deal getting close and could be done tomorrow.

Most likely we want 30, as does GWS, for Patton.

That is probably the hold up.

That is a grammatical nightmare

[leucopogon 1,519]

Something ain't right with this. Why trade a bloke with X factor for a nothing pick? Goodwin doesn't back himself or his assistants to coach Frosty into becoming a more reliable team player? Frost has priced himself too highly for our salary cap? Or is it something else? If he does go to the Hawks, I bet you he becomes a much better footballer under the tutelage of Clarko and we'll be kicking ourselves.

Asked and answered multiple times. Nothing wrong about it.
