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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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

    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.
