MFC Profile

 

[Jordie_tackles]

I'm in the manority but I like him, got better with every game he played in defence, the position he was recruited playing in.

 

[Tulip]

Better than his brother.

 

[d33my]

Love his courage to tuck the ball under his arm and run. Saw it at its best against Collingwood I think (?), more of that in 2017 please.

 

[Gysberts2Bate]

Not sure if he'll be best 22 going forward - it's ironic that we traded for the pick we got OMac with in he same trade that got us Frost - but he's a likely type when he understands his limitations.

Yep me too. Better than O Mac, presently.

 

[PerfectFooty]

Can't believe it took so long to put him in the position he actually plays well. But now he's in defence he's very much at home in our best 22. Offers as tall, but provides plenty of offensive run which seems to be what our defence is about these days

 

[LeverPuller]

He's been damn good the last couple of weeks.

 

[TheGateKeeper]

I'm now 13 stubbies now after the win, and I love the big eared goon. has speed, applies pressure and smothers the ball a heap. And he has head like a dropped cornish pastie! And his last name is not Mc Donald.

Better off letting him take the best forward and TMac can have a little less responsibility.

Also love how arrogant he is with the ball, he burnt off Tippa LOL

 

[Crusty Demon]

Important player for us going forward. His athleticism for a guy his size is huge for us. Goes ok on the big #1 stay at home forwards which frees up TMac as he's better suited on a running forward. He's still young too isn't he??

Underrated second ruck too

Turns 24 this year, so yeah still reasonably young.

 

[Topkent]

Loved his game but on another day he could have had 7 kicked on him at half time

Still his tackling smothering and rebound was awesome and something that adds so much to our team, haven't noticed his kicking yet either

 

[Russian Demon]

Some of his chase downs last week vs Richmond were epic.

 

[Sando22]

Tackles and pressures hard all day.
Love the effort he puts in!!

 

[Captain Jack]

Super important player. Should definitely be considered our #1 defender most weeks, looks more comfortable on the bigger blokes.

 

[ponsdale]

Underrated second ruck too

Was he our third ruck or forth ruck on the weekend?

1. Pedo
2. TMac
3. Watts

Actually, Frost didn't get a HO on the weekend...

 

[Sprout]

Love it when commentators who hardly ever watch Melbourne see him hit top gear. That first reaction

I feel better seeing Frosty in the side. Should remain a fixture in the back six for the rest of the season for mine.

It's brilliant isn't it, but fair enough tho, a bloke his size, both height and weight, has no business being able to hit those sorts of speeds, genuine freak.

Meant the Richmond game/last year

 

[Proper Gander]

It's brilliant isn't it, but fair enough tho, a bloke his size, both height and weight, has no business being able to hit those sorts of speeds, genuine freak.

Also it's the effect of the speed while looking a bit as though he should have a bolt through his head that always provokes a reaction.

 

[TheCount]

Also it's the effect of the speed while looking a bit as though he should have a bolt through his head that always provokes a reaction.

It's also particularly impressive when you consider that he's got a fair bit of wind resistance sticking out either side of his face.

Watched the replay, when he smothered Colyers kick Brad Johnson is like 'he should have taken Frost on and used his speed'.

He literally ran past Tippa like 5 minutes before Johnson are you watching the game?

 

[Sprout]

Also it's the effect of the speed while looking a bit as though he should have a bolt through his head that always provokes a reaction.

Fair to say he isn't in any danger of being overloaded with offers from modelling agencies, but that makes me like him even more.
