Welcome Welcome to Hawthorn, Sam Frost. Extends to 2024!

[4THAWN]

3 (shortened) games in for Frosty.

averaging 13.3 touches @ 60%
8 kicks, 5.3 handballs
7 contested possessions
8.3 intercept possessions
3.7 turnovers
0.7 score involvements
5 marks
1.7 contested marks
2 tackles
1.66 inside 50s
3.5 rebound 50s
289 metres gained

It doesn't feel like he's been running at 60% efficiency for mine. Hasn't looked to me like he's been bad with ball in hand for the most part.

Interestingly, over 50% of his touches come as contested possessions (meaning he's winning the hard ball).

Also averaging a whopping 8.3 intercept possessions per game in shortened quarters, top 10 in the AFL.


His average of 1.7 contested marks is also top 15 in the AFL so far.

Safe to say I've been really impressed with his start to the season.

 

[parsons nose]

He’s a keeper

 

[Slysh]

Almost certainly in the top 5 of our B&F at this point of the season, love everything he brings even the mini heart attacks.

 

[TylerDurden]

Great acquisition. Has fitted in so well.

 

[MightyHawks86]

Love his cannonball style of play.

Stratts be rounding out the Top 10?!

 

[Jaeger]

Could he be leading the PCM?

 

[MrPremiership]

Could he be leading the PCM?

Has been very good this year.

Can he play FB and take over from Chip?

 

[kirbatron]

Could he be leading the PCM?

wouldnt surprise me... been really good.

 

[Hodgey 15]

So impressed with how he's fitted into the side. Has become a major cog in the machinery.

 

[Spursfan]

Was expecting a few brainfades but as yet he's been solid

 

[Judd2Sewell]

His attack on the man and the ball is completely unrelenting.

 

[Toasted]

He offers something really different. I don’t reckon he knows what he’s going to do next so he’s opponent has no chance

 

[Zack]

He is a breathe of fresh air, in an era of stormtroopers who will be killed if they don't follow the rules that already deserted them during the contest they just had.... which meant they weren't in a position to be the robot trained... unless they gave up the footy to the opposition.

To put that sentence in layman's tearms, no football team has practiced defending a floater. Because no footballers do that anymore. (And they took away the Rossy Faulkner that provided that) but you get the idea.

But the unknown kick to the forwardline is the greatest weapon in footy these day. They (the defence) practice for the expected every single day. The shank never happens at training if it does they stop the drill and reset.

 

[Brant]

Future Captain

 

[Hawker55]

What he lacks in skill he makes up for in pace and committing to a decision.

 

[TazHawk15]

I must say “ I am really warming to Frosty”

 

[kirbatron]

having a better year than lever or may

 

[burger09]

Very good again.

 

[Strapping Young Lad]

Could he be leading the PCM?

He’d have to be close wouldn’t he.

 

[SA HAWK]

Demelbourned he has been a great pickup.

 

[nickrebellious]

His size, speed and attack on the footy is an awesome mix of traits. His disposal has been decent too. Love Frostball

 

[Flukey!]

Loving having Frost at Hawthorn.

 

[StillAtLarge]

What he lacks in skill he makes up for in pace and committing to a decision.

His skills are underrated

 

[GerryLewis]

He's been absolutely super this year. Far exceeded my expectations. I'd argue his insistence on playing on quickly was the spark that got us going against the Blues. Will be up there in the B&F.
