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

What do you actually mean by culture killer?   He appeared to be well liked and respected.  
Yes, he could be a momentum killer if that’s what you mean.

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.

There is absolutely no chance of this being true. Fantasy land. Just think about it.

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.

Negative & defeatist in the extreme.

And yet Sam Mitchell sings his praises & now the Hawks are in the finals & have one of the best defences.

Think that says it all about our coaching & development and your judgement.

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

Ah yes my bad - temporarily forgot.

I'll never forget his chase down tackle of Petrucelli over here in the west. The Eagles so-called speedster chose the wrong bloke to take on and ended up embarrased with his jumper torn to shreds. I've never screamed ball as loudly and felt so vindicated when it was awarded. These days I'm sure it would have been paid a free kick against Frosty for a dangerous tackle.

Enjoy: 

postscript: I forgot about the missed 15 m pass after this play...truly encapsulates the enigma that is Frosty.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
