Along with the Jamie Elliott high-fly speccie, the Ben Johnson running goal streaming down the wing, and the Pendlebury slow-motion dance through traffic, it's one of the great sights in football.

^ You forgot Ben Sinclair breaking through the middle and steadying before threading it between the point post and the boundary line...

Fair comments Inky.

I have to admit, I have an ulterior motive. Bit of a man-crush on Frostie. I love it when an opposition tall leads out on his own and is about to take an uncontested mark. In the blink of an eye, just as the ball is about to fall into his hands, a black and white rocket steps into frame at 110km/h and, like magic, Frostie's big fist comes high over the top and smacks the pill 20 metres clear.

That happens about twice a quarter and I never get tired of it. Along with the Jamie Elliott high-fly speccie, the Ben Johnson running goal streaming down the wing, and the Pendlebury slow-motion dance through traffic, it's one of the great sights in football.

spot on. i rate frost very highly - the only 2 things that worry me are his ridiculously fumbly hands on the ground and his average kicking.

mind you to (draw another similarity to him), presti couldn't kick to save himself either for the first few years of his career...

So he fumbles and can't kick and I'll add his decision making isn't quite up to scratch,so what does he have going for him???

yeah sorry mate, my post was a little bit too positive for nick's.

let's try this one;

"he's useless".

What? There's a football game?

What about the community?

Anyway, selection will be interesting for both sides, hopefully they lose a few and we gain a few.

I just want to see us be competitive for a large period of the game, pretty hard to beat the premiership favourites with our current crop.

Is us be competitive for a large period of the game hard to beat the premiership favourites with our current crop a movie?

Tannin add to these Swanny taking his one on one body to body marks where he just stands there and the pill falls into his mits or the Ben Ried low trajectory 50m passes that hit our players on the chest.

Reid in for Sinclair apparently.

Need Jesse to show the aggression he did last week, that has to become the norm, if he-Cox and Moore can all hit the scoreboard we'll be a chance, need 7+ goals out of that trio.

[jackcass]

Wonder if it's any coincidence that 2 of the quickest blokes on our list are listed as emergencies.

[MatthewBoydFanClub]

That'll be right. Get one back from injury (Reid) but lose one to injury (Sinclair) and one has to play injured (Cox). So down one net, but that's par for the course this year.

Only late change I'd consider is Marsh for Toovey, but then again I'd play Peter Hellier ahead Toovey.
