On SEN last week Frost said he was waiting to hear from Melbourne on a ‘fresh deal’. He’d been offered one earlier in the season but rejected it. Tickets-Frost: “Based on my age (26) and the year I’ve had, I imagine there would have been a few phone calls but I don’t know how serious a lot of those phone calls are or aren’t so I’ll just leave that to (manager) Anthony (McConville).”

Good question. I’d think the club had completely lost the plot if we attempted to bring him in.

Hopefully we can get Tomlinson to play the swingman type role if need be and he can provide cover in that instance. He’s coming a fair bit cheaper than what old chicken with his head cut off is asking.

So we should pay ‘overs’ for Frost in case our other backs all have a similar injury riddled season like this season just gone? Because that’s what it’s going to take to re-sign him. Then what happens next season when we have multiple required players we want to extend or re-sign? Frost is not worth potentially losing out on those players or bringing in others via trade. I think the keep Frost camp need to look at the bigger picture.

He’s a Superstar in my mind.

Was he concussed in that clip? Far out. In all seriousness though, poor fella that would suck. I listened to a podcast he spoke on and the voice doesn’t match the look. He came across quite intelligent.

Is that the same Jack Fitzpatrick that played a total of four games for Hawthorn in two seasons before being delisted at 26 years old?

Pretty well spot on excerpt for the reason why he haven’t re-signed him.

It’s the same people who think Frost is worth an early second rounder. They rate our players too high and opposition players too low.

I’ve made some inquiries and been informed that Gaff’s teammates nicknamed him ‘Basil’ due to his love of Margherita Pizza. Could be something in this.

Not true, I haven’t heard this rumour and my ear is literally on the ground. #ETthetradebreaker.

Same here but not for pick 3.

Phewwww, I thought it was going to be about us potentially using pick 3 on that gangly alien nadal lookalike.

Now we just need good wingman to kick the ball back in after Frosty boots it out on the full against us.

Sounds about right given he’s a future Brownlow Medalist.

First round pick according to some on here.

Fair points Red, getting him out of Perth would also be a good start.

Big difference between the two in relation to attitude and willingness to work hard. There’s also been a fair bit of time between when Pickett was drafted and when he was ‘offending’, he appears to have matured and learnt from his mistakes. I question whether or Bennell has done either of those. I do think we have to take more of a risk but for me, Bennell is too big of one.

I think the ‘journos’ scour social media, including Bigfooty. A couple of days ago before there was any talk in the media about Norf being interested in Elliott, their supporters on Bigfooty were suggesting they should try and get him. A day later, the media are reporting Norf are interested, they just didn’t mention it was Norf supporters.

In today’s West newspaper there’s a Welcome Home Longmuir poster/banner or something like that. No wonder Fremantle’s idiot supporters become so disappointed and upset at their coaches, they treat them like the second coming when they’re first appointed.

Ultimately I think this is why supporters are let down by certain players, the expectation that they’ll be the equivalent of another teams star. I have no issues with Trac, he’ll continue to build his tank and fitness and will be his own star.

Norf are desperate to land a RFA. 7 years at 900k a year will be hard to beat.

The issue is how much he and his manager are asking. It’s not that we haven’t or don’t want to offer him one.
