Sam Frost says he is still waiting to hear from Melbourne regarding a new deal.
Frost, who is out of contract, has revealed that he has not yet received an offer from the Demons.
“Not that I’m aware of at this stage,” he said on SEN Breakfast.
“I’m waiting to hear from Melbourne. These things are never easy and never straightforward, so it’s an interesting time for everyone.”
The 26-year-old defender is the subject of interest from both North Melbourne and Hawthorn while admitting that at least one other club has made contact with his manager Anthony McConville.
“Other than maybe contacting my manager, there’s nothing I’m aware of to be honest,” he said of the interest from the Kangaroos.
“They (Hawthorn) have, yes.
“There’s one other club that definitely have and I’m sure there are others that have inquired.
“With the year I’ve had and my age, I imagine there would have been a few phone calls. But I don’t know how serious those calls are or aren’t, I just leave that to Anthony.”
Frost admits the interest from rival clubs fills him with confidence but says ideally he would like to remain at Melbourne.
“I’m not going to lie, it does feel good,” Frost said of the interest.
“It does give you a little bit of (confidence) in where you are at in terms of value.
“The longer it goes on, waiting on Melbourne is the difficult part of it.
“There’s no deadline or anything. They’ve got things they’re working through.
“Time is getting thin so the sooner the better I suppose.
“I try and steer clear of a lot of it but as far as I’m told through my management they’re having good conversations with Melbourne.
“That’s where I’d like to be. I don’t know the nitty-gritty of it all, I just stay out of it.”
Frost was one of Melbourne’s best performers throughout a 2019 season that was utterly disappointing following their 2018 preliminary final berth.
He has played 70 games for the Demons after 21 for GWS for a total of 91 over his eight-year career to date.
