I look forward to Melksham make a few people on here eat humble pie. I am sure that Goodwin can spot talent better than any of us Demonlanders!

You said the same thing about Prendergast.

When I read that Melksham knocked back a 2 year deal at Essendon, I thought he's insane. When I read that we have offered him a 4 year deal, I knew we're incompetent. Ranks with Pederen's 3 year deal for stupidity.

Interesting comparison - while he is no world beater, Pedersen has been very handy for us in plenty of games. Dean Terlich's contract is a far better comparison. Or Matt Jones' for that matter.

This.

Pedo has been handy for us. Hope he stays on next year.

Pedersen was a very good foil for Hogan earlier in the year and whilst he is limited, does the best with what he has. Strong pair of hands and runs his heart out.

Better option than Dawes and anything else we have at the moment IMO.

So long as we don't give away our second rounder for him, then no harm.

I would hate to give away our second rounder only to miss out on Lovell.
I think Essendon will ask for our second rounder, I just hope we aren't going to give it up for Melksham.

Handy for last two years.

Was putrid in his first year, almost had contract torn up, instead he was told to pull his finger out or he would never see the third year of the contract, which to his credit, he did

Unless I am blind I can't see anything in this link saying Melbourne is interested in Melksham?

"AFL.com.au revealed on Tuesday that Essendon has offered Jake Melksham a new two-year deal, but the 24-year-old is weighing up his future amid interest from clubs including St Kilda and Carlton."

I use to have this view too. Unfortunately I've seen this club stuff up so many times that I have learnt to trust my own instincts and opinions.

Do you think the club got it right offering Terlich a long contract? We will have to either pay it out or have him taking up a spot on the list next year.

Do you think Roo's got the weekly team selection right each time this year?

People make mistakes all the time. Roo's and Goodwin arn't exempt from this.

If you think Melksham will be a good pickup then let your opinion be known. But I will stand by mine.

The article has been edited, it did say that Melbourne had put forward a four year deal to him.

I guess that's what happens when your source is BigFooty.

It has been edited out! It was there earlier today!

I hope this is not true.

What a great night!

The Hawks get smashed.

Frawley plays a putrid game.

Viney, McDonald & Hogan make top 5 in our B&F

And most important, the article referencing us to the Melksham trade has been amended to another club!

What makes it even better is that Carlton is one of those clubs now "interested".

I generally don't claim to know much, but one thing I do know, and will go on the record as saying, is that Melksham is not a shadow of a footballer and I'll loose my [censored] if we trade him in.

Can't see where it mentions us offering him 4 years in the above link. I don't want anyone from Essendon especially Melksham who is a bland type of footballer.

I kid you not this article, as others have stated, originally stated that we had a 4 year contact in front of him! Hell I don't even mind if you think I made this all up, I'm just relieved that its not happening (most likely). Check Bigfooty, people going bananas about it there and people on bomberblitz having a laugh at our previously perceived stupidity.

I can normally rationalise and mount an argument for any player we're linked to at this time of year, but I can't even begin with Melksham. Would be up there with drafting Gary Moorcroft all those years ago.

You didn't make it up - I saw it too

Flabbergasted

I actually would rather have Cale Morton back

    Veteran Demonland Trackwatchers Kev Martin, Slartibartfast & Demon Wheels were on hand at Gosch's Paddock to kick off the official first training session for the 1st to 4th year players with a few elder statesmen in attendance as well.

    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.
