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.

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Sunday’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
