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.

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.

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.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp. DEMONLAND'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS It’s going to be a scorcher today but I’m in the shade at Gosch’s Paddock ready to bring you some observations from the final session before the Preseason Training Camp next week.  Salem, Fritsch & Campbell are already on the track. Still no number on Campbell’s

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    TRAINING: Wednesday 13th November 2024

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
