Bio
Hailing from the Apple Isle, Lou Frost was a mature-age recruit who joined South Melbourne from the City Football Club in Launceston. He arrived at the Lakeside Oval during the height of the Second World War, a period when VFL lists were in constant flux due to player service commitments. Standing 182cm and weighing 84kg, Frost possessed a substantial frame for the era, allowing him to compete physically against hardened opponents during a season where depth was a luxury. His VFL career was brief, restricted to six senior appearances solely in the 1944 season, serving as one of the many interstate footballers who stepped in to keep the competition running during the war years before disappearing from the league's top level.
