and $650k saved in salary

I highly doubt Hawthorn would be that stupid to pay him that much

Very disappointing on both a rational and emotional level.

A failure of the coach and footy department.

So many reasons he should have been retained.  

Failure because the coaching department couldn't fix his greatest liability being his disposal and decision making? Or just for letting him go?

I assume both maybe.

This will give me great comfort when O. McDonald has five goals on him at half time on Ben Brown and May and Lever are sitting on the sidelines.

 

Please.

Don't attempt to rewrite history; Frost has all the athleticism to be great, but certainly never has been.
 

will miss frosty, truly a maverick of the modern game.

 

Now to remove his name from my bio :(

Surely you jest?

Not at all. Before this season Frost was depth. He only played this year due to injuries. You dont give out big and/orlong term deals to depth players and when you trade them for 2nd round picks its a win. We are about to trade a 2nd round pick for a guy who has finished top 5 in his clubs B&F the last 2 seasons.

Big loss for us.

If May and Lever can't get on the park again this year and O. McDonald becomes our main key defender then it will be a disaster.

Lever (and May) have cost us big time.  2 first rounders, King (GC) and Frost; and an chest full of $$.  Geelong worked Lever out in his first game for memory, by getting a first gamer to isolate him one-on-one.

 

I don't hope Frost sticks it up us; he will stick it up us.  Clarko is an absolute genius.  He is getting a robust guy, entering his prime, with elite speed that can pinch hit ruck, WING and to a lesser extent forward....for what...a late 2nd round draft pick next year?  Hawks make the 8 next year comfortably.  Frost and September are made for each other.

I will be looking at twitter when Goody gets the RRRs in the next year or 2.  Frosty might have a Maloney type message for him.  Gave supreme effort.  Provided solitary speed.  Was a bonefide top 5 player this year....who just managed to double Jordan Lewis' voting in the B&F.

We had posters wringing more than their hands over Frostball for last couple of years, now he is an indispensable   this forum is just so amusing

Brown is kicking that regardless on Oscar or Frost - he is simply not a lockdown defender


Nice work Mahoney, now to give JKH a 10 year deal.

Deal Done

Frost& 42 & 61 future 4th

50 and Future 2nd.

Basically a second round pick for a depth player.

Big win for Mahoney

 

Points aside are we actually getting anything?

  • 50 is a small upgrade on 61
  • Don't put much practical value on our future 4th
  • Hawks future 2nd (35-45 range after next years F/S amd academy players) roughly equal to/small upgrade/downgrade on our current 42.

Not unhappy with the trade but can't help but feel we gave him away.

We will always have Frosty's torp from the Hawthorn final last year.

If the future second rounder goes to Freo for Langdon it’s impossible to see how this isn’t a great result.

That doesn't mean we couldn't have got more value from this trade though. It's not worked out as Frost for Langdon.

Points wise (I know, I know) we've given Frost away for pick 50 (based on estimated draft order for 2020).

Depends how selective your reading is.  Some of us stuck fat with Frost and ignored the tide of consensus.

I must admit though, pretty tough to ignore his supreme effort and speed in 2019.  You probably think Nick Riewoldt's view on him versus Lever and May was amusing also.

But we are the MFC.  We pin our hopes on one (Barassi, Watts, Flower, Scully); and we are also great at anointing a scapegoat for all our ills too.  Last year it was Watts.  This year Frost.

I'm not as 'down' as Frosty as some on this site, whilst acknowledging their concerns about his flaws, however @Nasher is right; a great result if this trade converts into Langdon.

No, no, no. We've lost a saviour.

Cannot quite believe how many posters I respect on this thread that are absolutely [censored] on their football knowledge by lamenting this result.

A lot worse than 50 when factoring in about 15-20 1st and 2nd round Father/son Academy picks next year.  That is why it looks to me we have given him away.

With only one buyer and an apparent driver to move him on, I think we were in a position where we had to take what we could get. Probably lucky we had a pragmatic trading partner and not someone like Bellend or Dododo.

If you use the calculator and overlay with this years results for future picks then we're essentially getting a 3rd rounder for Frost.

He'll be gone by the bye next year.

Fair enough mate, can agree with that logic, I'm holding fire for the Langdon deal, but just disappointed we didn't squeeze out more value from him.

He will be gone by the bye or just gone bye bye?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
