I can’t be the only one so starved for footy that I’m watching this.

Frosty already doing Frosty things in a Hawks jumper (I mean that in a complimentary way Mrs Frost if you’re reading this)

Hill would’ve been a very handy pick up. Pretty jealous the Saints nabbed him. AFL app still has him wearing a Freo jumper ??

First half has been a classic pre-season game:  decent skills but plenty of errors, one team starting hot then the other getting into the groove... neither side worries me all that much though. 

Both will be bottom 10 this year.

Frost has had a shocker..! Not much has changed with him.

Including commentators over rating him.

How good is it to see footy at Moorabbin again!

Also no idea how people can say a team is bottom whatever in one half of the first praccy match.

Brad Hill... what a gun.

It makes me sick listening to how much they rate him. He made that many classic Frosty errors. Kept banging on about how handy he will be. Also kept mentioning how he was top 10 in our BNF. Did they forget that we were a bottom 2 side ??

Taking my MFC hat for a second, I Thought Frost was good after quarter time. Certainly did more good than bad.

Not the party line ?

I thought both teams would've been happy with that hit out. Saints looked pretty slick for PS1 and had a good look at Hill, Butler, King, Coffield and Clark in particular. They'll be knocking on the door of the 8 this year

Hawks wouldn't have been happy with McEvoy going down but he should be back round 1 or 2 if it's a minor hamstring. Patton looked ok and got through unscathed as did Mitchell, that would be the only thing I was worrying about as a Hawks supporter at this stage

Went to the AFL website and didnt even know there was a game on last night until I saw this thread.

Their website is truly horrendous.. why have they gotten rid of the scoreboard bar along the top?

They also did not have any match stats available on their website. You had to go to their smartphone app or a third parties.

It's not only the media that overrated him, more posters here where crying that we were letting him go, if you never watched him play, and read the thread about Frost going, you would have thought we were trading  SOS.

An apt comparison. SOS was the definition of overrated 

I bet Hawthorn wish they had Oscar McDonald instead of Frost...

Membrey best on ground!!  I thought it was just us he got up for. Kicked a lazy 4.

I hoped last year we might chase him. Very underrated in my opinion

We effectively traded Frost for Langdon.

Geez someone tell Nicky Winmar it's still February. 

Methinks the Saints’ past players and supporters passion was about having footy back at Moorabbin last night

I cannot get excited about preseason games

I’m not a fan of nfl, but one thing they do well is not giving preseason as much oxygen - it’s straight into competitive games not this glorified training malarkey 

Quick look on social media and Hawks fans seem happy with Frost's performance last night which i found interesting, still early days. Still love the Frost - but not always for positive footballing reasons

They will after a season of frost ball that's for sure.

Anyone would think they’d won the AFLX premiership.

SOS overrated, a 2 time premiership player who played fullback for all of his career, but also kicked over 200 goals yeah overrated, I know we all hate Carlton but respect man.

saw most of his games live.

All I will remember of him is the killer torp in the Hawks finals match in 2019 at the 5 minute mark of the 1st 1/4.

We wouldn't have improved if he kept getting a game with us.

Good luck to him at the hawks though, but gee they are a seriously good outfit disposal quality- wise and I just cant see it for him there.

Think the emotion more about the return to Moorabbin. As a baysider I remember spending a couple of great nights at the social club there as a youngster. Was rocking! Not sure anyone actually went to moorabbin for the actual footy.
