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.

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.

They can have pick 41 for him

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

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".

Edited by Jaded

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.

PSD is the way to get this guy.

If someone else wants to match his contract and take him before us, well, easy come easy go.

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...

it could be just the break Jack Watts needs to have Melksham come in and replace him as the number one whipping boy

 

Jake Melksham, already demonland's favourite Melbourne whipping boy!

Olisik is having a real crack at the title lately.

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Having convincingly defeated last year’s premier and decisively outplayed the runner-up with 8.2 in the final quarter, nothing epitomized the Melbourne Football Club’s performance more than its 1.12 final half, particularly the eight consecutive behinds in the last term, against a struggling St Kilda team in the midst of a dismal losing streak. Just when stability and consistency were anticipated within the Demon ranks, they delivered a quintessential performance marked by instability and ill-conceived decisions, with the most striking aspect being their inaccuracy in kicking for goal, which suggested a lack of preparation (instead of sleeping in their hotel in Alice, were they having a night on the turps) rather than a well-rested team. Let’s face it - this kicking disease that makes them look like raw amateurs is becoming a millstone around the team’s neck.

  • CASEY: Sydney

    The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?
