Frost used to give me nightmares. I still very occasionally watch Hawks game and experience elevated heart rate when I see him near or with the football. 
Russian Roulette. 

 

I'm at Glen Waverley station now. Anyone got 20 cents and a pair of Dunlop Volleys they can lend me for the two bus rides and half an hour walk to the ground?

A Hawks friend told me in his first year there that he thought Frost was a clever player to which I replied that he was about as clever as a giraffe that escaped from the zoo.

With all the booing debate, will be interesting if Frost gets booed this week by us fans.

He certainly has in our recent meetings.

Why the hell would you boo him? WE traded him, and ended up with a FAR better FB who is playing his 200th this week. Is any Melbourne supporter really upset that he isn't on our list anymore? 

Save your energy for the ROOOOOOOO please.

Hearing this from a Hawks supporter is (chef’s kiss). Wasn’t that long ago that we’d be saying “Imagine if we beat Hawthorn”

My how the tables have turned, hey!

Wasn’t trading him to the Hawks punishment enough?

I hope not Frosty is a bit of a hero to my family particularly when he moved to Hawthorn.!!!

I still have a #17 guernsey that I occasionally wear. I say it’s for Bowser but the old iselect logo gives it away. 😁

I don't boo anyone and that included Scully in peak 2012/2013 days and I certainly won't be booing Frost.

Our supporter base has certainly booed Frost though.

I will be amazed if Jackson doesn't get the rounds of the table in a couple of weeks.

The other AFL player that sprints off half back with no idea where they're going and undermines their defensive set up is Adam Saad.

The way Goodwin plays the percentages, I'm staggered Frost lasted as long as he did at Melbourne.

As he should.

Not sure how he and Frost are in any way comparable.

To be fair, we had very little options down back. Frost is not a bad defender, he's just terrible once he wins the contest.

I agree with you about Saad, my Carlton supporting brother drinks the cool-aid and says he's great. What I generally see is long kicks to nowhere mixed in with short kicks that too often miss their target in pressure situations.

Yep, he's a real weakness in their system, but they don't have elite kickers or particularly good decision makers off half back, plus they're paying him a mint, so may as well use him.

If Carlton wins a flag with Saad in their backline, I'll be staggered.

Im with you JNM.. I will be booing and cheering Jacko for the 1st game we play against him. This is my way of letting him know, that i wasn't happy when he left us hanging throughout the year, didnt put in 100% effort on numerous occasions and didn't do enough to secure a better deal for us.. The cheering is for the fact that Freo are in a nosedive, and that his trade actually ended up working out. 

I have no ill will against his choice to improve his life situation - i firmly believe that every player has a right to chose where they want to play and for how much - just as we all have a choice to decide where we want to work. He could have just managed the transition better and left on better terms than he did.

People have got short memories.

Frost got booed loudly a few games back because he was getting very aggressive and downed a Melbourne player 

They haven't booed him for leaving melbourne. He was just a d*** when we played the Hawks with his faux toughness.

Some of the media pundits have him in their rolling AA side. Yes he does put up some clangers, but i think its those around him that make him look terrible.

When he receives the ball or wins a groundball, the whole team should sprint forward for a quicker transition and create opportunity, but they dont and Saad is often sprinting into traffic with no options to go to hence the clanger.

If you put him into a hard running team like Colling or Geelong or even us, he would be a weapon.


Used to have a heart attack when Frosty got the pill, was very hard on the nerves. But now my eyes light up, come on Frosty, no fear, go for it. 🤣

Love him though, we should have a Favourite Frosty Memory thread.

I'll start, the run down tackle on WCE speedster Petrucelle. That was awesome!

Don't get too hard on Frost. He might actually make some right decisions tmrw. Now that would hurt wouldn't it ? He is not worth booing though. As for Jackson in a few weeks he should get the rounds of the kitchen.

"how about that Harley Reid kid" - most hawks supporters probably

I know that I will be MIGHTILY amused if they tank their way to the bottom and then lose their draft pick due to the racism investigation. That would be true Karma to lose Harley Reid after tanking all year to get him

I wouldn't boo any player that was part of the only premiership I have seen, but that's just me. For those that choose to boo, knock yourselves out in a couple of weeks.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
