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.

    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
