WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB – JAKE MELKSHAM

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.

    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.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
