Good luck to him. 

Back when it was rumoured he was leaving I rang the Club to complain because I thought he was one of our best tall defenders despite the occasional brain fade.

I was told not to worry because Oscar McDonald was improving & he & Tomlinson provided adequate cover.

I was & still am very sorry to have lost him. I think he wanted 3 years & we only offered 2.

    You rang the club to complain?

    Steven May joined us prior to 2019 and Lever prior to 2018 and you called the club to complain?

    He should enjoy it

    Don’t reckon he will be in the 22 next year with Barrass and Battle coming in

    I wonder if Frosty was coming into the system now, if he would have been modelled on a Blicsavs type utility. Great speed for his size yet was only really ever used predominantly as a backman. 
     

    His problem was always, the gap between his best and worst was too big. Haven’t watched many hawks games so not sure if that’s still the case.

    Are we trading or drafting Frost back to the club? 

    Football aside, Frosty was greatly appreciated, no - actually loved - and a very fast runner, powerful tackler with a mind of his own to enhance the team; not too many other players caught the bug he offered, but he had wonderful ears to listen to their points of view. He'd be a killer player down at Casey; highly enthusiastic about new styles of the game we sometimes get a little bored with and thus, a light on the horizon of hopes and prayers for Mr Unstoppable.

    I’m sure you are right Deemania. My point is why is this being discussed on a draft and trading board?

    For me, I shudder at the term 'brain fade/s' when it comes to Frosty. His enthusiasm for the game was unbridled and that worked wonders with 'hope springs eternal' - even when a catastrophic outcome presented. For me, he was more entertaining that Jacko (Mark) due to his sheer exuberance.  Someone must be thinking that he has improved as a footballer and has considered re-enlisting the Mighty Frost to the Manor, I guess. It just makes me smile thinking of his fearless game.

    He was a good lad Frosty. Gave his all. I wish him well in the finals (but not the Hawks).

    I don't miss the small heart attacks he induced in me though.

    Love Frosty. 
    Couldn’t exist in the same backline as May though. 
    If only he had some guidance in those formative years instead of oranges. I think Weddle could have become Frosty#2 if it wasn’t for a stern hand.

    Typical intelligent response.

    You might reflect that it's actually possible to applaud intelligent decisions and criticise faulty ones.

    May & Lever were great but when I'm told Frost is no loss because we've got Oscar McD I seriously wonder about their judgement.

    And I would suggest that history has judged me & Frost to be correct.

    My Hawks mates were moaning big time about Frosty, but Sam Mitchell really smoothed him out, is definitely a feather in his coaching gap, the redemption of Frost (i loved his heart but not his execution to be clear). That he busted his foot is just bloody horrible.

    Moved him on for a reason. Culture killer. End of.

    That's complete BS. We didn't move him on we only offered him 2 years & Hawks offered 3.

    Check out his 2018 stats - he had a very good year & was one of our best defenders.

    Went last week and saw the best and worst of the Frost man. 
    Wish him well this week.

    Wonder how he'll go next year once Barrass and Battle are in the squad

    You know he is injured and out for the rest of the season right?

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
