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

 

Ran into Simon Goodwin before my basketball game today. His daughter played in the game before me

and...

 

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.

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

Maybe not...

and don't call me Shirley.


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.

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

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...

 

Baffling decision..

But why am i not surprised.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
