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.

 

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.

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.

Sounds like he'll fit in well then

 

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.

Good call - would make paying overs seem a little more palatable.


Melksham offer...wada we thinking !!!

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)

This better not be the highlight of trade week. Because so far, I'm so underwhelmed I could vomit.


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.

We [censored] up. Why the [censored] do our coaches always feel the need to try saviour players carers from there old clubs.

Neeld brought Dawes

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
