Either way, our crowds should improve. Apparently he brings all the boys to the yard.

    I'm sure a lot won't agree with me, but I expect Melksham to have an impact equal to Vince.

    Are you thinking top 5 bnf or just playing a similar role?

    All concerns about eligibility aside. I can only think of one main reason hes being looked. I think Goodwin sees him as a line breaker. Milkshake does appear to have a knack for finding space and instinctively moves FORWARD.

    These are things we need to do more.

    Time will tell i suppose.

    Vince won a b&f at the crows, and Melky will be younger when he comes to us. Can't compare the two..

    You definitely can if you're not talking about past performance, but what they will do.

  • Quote

    If Goodwin & McCartney think he's worth it then we should trust them on this...my only reservation is what WADA have to say.

    Surely Essendon are throwing in their third rounder. Surely...

    You would think so, Melksham is a very ordinary football player. I would ask for Essendons second rounder.

    Trade radio suggests this deal will be done for a second round pick tomorrow.

    That sounds about right to me. A first rounder was overs and a third rounder is probably a touch low.

    We are going to get something decent for Howe and I can see Melksham contributing just as much, if not more, than Howe has so it's a fair deal in that context.

    god i hope so, will be a massive loss on our behalf if we pay that much for him

    He Isn't worth pick 25 though, late 2nd rounder at best

    Jeez, our second round pick is overs. The Demons are like the eager to please kid in the school yard. They roll over to please the popular kids (Collingwood, essendon)

    Can't recall a good outcome trading with essendon or Collingwood. They always sneak one past us.

    They would be loving a second rounder for melksham.

    I'm not exactly comfortable with the deal either but he isn't worth our first rounder, obviously, and he is worth more than our pick in the 40s. Unless we can get another pick this deal is about as fair as it's going to get.

    /facepalm

    Essendon will be laughing their asses off behind closed doors.

    And we will be openly in 18 months' time.

    Agree with this, we drafted in Vince for pick 20 odd, but we also drafted in Dawes for around the same. I think the Dons win this deal if its true.

    Not necessarily our first second rounder...

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
