Wiseblood 24,637 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 You'd do a straight swap of Melksham for Watts? Dear lord! His position on this is so ridiculous that there isn't any going back so he has to stick to things like "Watts for Melksham". It's silly, I know. Quote
MadAsHell 4,217 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Look, in isolation, Melksham to the Dees doesn't bother me to much. But given the whole WADA thing i'd really rather us not go anywhere near him. Not worth the risk. Edited September 17, 2015 by AngryAtCasey 1 Quote

G-max 154 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Landsberger inferred that Melksham is a "classy midfielder": http://www.heraldsun.com.au/sport/afl/afl-trades-2015-brisbane-says-stefan-martin-not-up-for-trade/story-fnp04d70-1227530666544?utm_content=SocialFlow Edited September 17, 2015 by G-max Quote
The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Melbourne Football Club Supporters Page Just now · Mernda · Sam McClure is reporting that Melbourne are set to offer $400,000 a year to Jake Melksham on a four year deal. Personally I'm just hoping he can lift his game and hit targets if he comes because it plagued his time at Essendon. Quote

The Song Formerly Known As 6,479 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Jake Melksham, the 1.6 million dollar man.(over 4 years). 1 Quote
DeeSpencer 26,681 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 If we are going to pay him so much maybe we can walk him in to the PSD. Would Carl/Bris/GC/Ess/StKilda give out the 4 year 1.6 mil deal for him? 3rd round pick or lets find out. 1 Quote

Cards13 9,117 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Maybe he is going to take over the Warrnambool boxing sessions to toughen Wattsy up? Not a fan, he doesn't seem like he gets enough pill, doesn't look like he uses it that well and then seems to get turned around going the other way. Here is hoping he improves, is he a direct replacement for Cross role? (Not comparing them) 1 Quote

DeeSpencer 26,681 Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 So I watched his highlights. His TAC grand final highlights (in a game featuring Prestia, Wallace, Libba, Mega-head on his side and Parker, Casboult for Dandy). And the cut of his 2013 Essendon made for their B+F Pro's:Burst speed and cat like agility Solid left foot Seems to cover the ground Can leap at the ball and mark when out in space Cons:Bad decisions under pressure Kicking goes astray under heat Tentative in some contests I do think there's a role for him as part of the midfield mix, especially as he brings a burst of speed that some of our mids don't. But if we expect him to help our ball movement at all then we are kidding ourselves. He can win a bit of the ball, tag a speedy opponent and cover some ground. It's going to take drafting or some different trades to find more skilled players to move the footy. 1 Quote
