Ess offer the guy only 2 years and less $$ and they want A grade trade in return.

If they truly valued him that highly surely they would better our offer!

They start with such a ridiculously high ambit demand for trades that they get far too much in return.

Given the reports on how we are handling Jeremy Howe's contract, I am confident TV and JT will not be conned!

As I've said, we'll be laughing at their faces with demands like that. Of course they're going to begin negotiations with outlandish requests.

They eventually accepted picks 17 and 37 for the Ryder trade, because he wanted out.

If Melksham wants out, they'll deal appropriately. I'm also not sure why anyone would think we'd pay overs for him anyway.

As for Greg Denham, is this the same Greg Denham that said Mitch Clarke to St Kilda was a done deal last year?

Cool.

Howe is a better player than Melksham and our first pick will probably be a better player than Melksham.

Lol thank god this whole thing must be a stupid joke. First pick and Howe lol GFY with either of those requests let alone the package deal. This has been the worst start to trade period ever.

Which is it?

Greg Denham just reported on SEN that the Bombers have asked for Melbourne's first pick & Howe for Melksham.

Oh dear.

You can only hope that with such a ridiculous request, the Dees and Dons don't get a deal done and he comes to Melbourne for nothing in the PSD.

No problems you counter with McKenzie or our last pick in the draft, 78, or whatever it is.

I'll have whatever the Bombers are smoking.

They're using again. [censored] druggies

Why would anyone trade for a player at risk of disqualification (however short)?

Just doesn't make sense to do it.

Pathetic.

Why, for having an opinion that is a little controversial? Oh sorry, everything is awesome baa, everything is cool when your part of a team baaa. Better?

You're allowed your opinion mate, but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the:

"This club is broken" (for speculated interest in a single player?? please)

"Goodwin is a bad move" (absolutely no evidence of this whatsoever)

"Don't arrive at the game until half time"

"We're never getting any better"

etc etc etc

I know you weren't responsible for those last couple of posts, but your post was bang in line with the rest of the doomsday tripe peddled on here on a daily basis.

One things for sure, I'd rather keep Jeremy Howe and pay him overs than pay someone like Melksham overs.

Oh Essendon, the drugs have really gone to your head

They can have pick 41 for him

I'll throw in Dean Terlich to sweeten the deal!

The funniest thing about all this, is one of my best mates is a die hard Essendon supporter. When the rumour of this broke, he texted me, and I quote:

"Melksham- will trade for a stale packet of salt & vinegar chips. Will bring his own footy".

If we even contemplated giving anything but scraps for this joker, then we have seriously lost the plot.

You know the guy is crap when Essendon supporters are wanting him out.

Glad someone wants Howe. Pretty sure he (Howe) would go to that "joint" as well.

If we did that trade every draft pick from five to ten would be on suicide watch.

Greg Denim shouldn't say such silly things in public.

I'm thinking now that this bloke if fit could be a good get.

Don't forget Ess are in conflagration as are their supporters.

Jake Melksham. 4 years at 400 for Jake [censored] Melksham.

This club is broken. Goodwin is going to be a bad move, I can feel it in my stomach. He's involvement with drugs inc. has never really sat right with me.

Jeez, you got there pretty quick, sloonie...

A year out from being solely in charge and the club is broken as evidenced by his signing as coach.

And all because of Jakey Melksham...

    2024 Player Reviews: #1 Steven May

    The years are rolling by but May continued to be rock solid in a key defensive position despite some injury concerns. He showed great resilience in coming back from a nasty rib injury and is expected to continue in that role for another couple of seasons.

    2024 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

    It was another strong season from McVee who spent most of his time mainly at half back but he also looked at home on a few occasions when he was moved into the midfield. There could be more of that in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.
