As it's been stated that it's a fairly weak draft after the first 20 odd picks, I wouldn't be surprised it the value of draft picks may've lessened a tad.

Either way, welcome aboard MIlkshake!

    No faith in Roos Dazzle.

    Who would have thought.

    Old mate einstien with the pathetic cheap shot.

    I have absolute faith in Roos in what he has and doing for this club. But this decision me and many other supporters don't agree with. But i don't expect an individual like yourself to work out why.

    I suppose the trouble is not all clubs would have the exact same opinion on the draft depth.

    Given the inside knowledge on Melksham that both Goodwin and McCartney have, I'll back them to make this deal good for us.

    Pick 25 is a steal for 2013 Jake Melksham and it's overs for 2015 Jake Melksham.

    I suppose I have to back Goodwin's assessment of how he thinks Melksham can be developed.

    Fingers crossed. Or, as mooted earlier, we're trading in a later second rounder somehow.

    damaged goods

    sword of wada hanging over him

    high 2nd round pick

    i don't think so

    You have no faith in Roos.. how dare you!!

    Um, I hope we are just 'moving back' in the draft because he is OOC, has one club interested from all reports and could probably make it to us in the PSD.

    It isn't the end of the world, and he may end up being value but it doesn't look great on face value.

    If we get pick 19 or similar for Howe. In effect Melksham replaces Howe and we move 6 positions in the draft.

    Not such a bad result,

    i don't have 100% faith in anyone

    that level of faith is for fundamentalist zealots

    Good get. Happy with a second rounder. I reckon the haters will be surprised next year.

    Perfect case of a talented player not playing to his potential at a rabble of a club.

    At least he won't be over rated by supporters when he arrives unlike many before him.

    I'm not sure what people expect. You can't offer a player a 4 year deal and then all of a sudden when it comes to the trade table act like you are only mildly interested, and offer up your 3rd or 4th round pick. As soon as the 4 year deal was reported, it was obvious it was a going to be our 2nd rounder, maybe with a shuffle of later picks, which can be used for Kennedy and/or Bugg.

    Einstien, any relation to Einstein? Hope so.

    Listen Razzle, I'm confused. How can you have "absolute" faith in Roos and then disagree with the decision. Do you ever think about what you write?

    And really, are you suggesting that I should ignore the decision of Roos, Viney, Taylor, O'Donnell, Goodwin and McCartney because you and many other supporters don't agree with a second rounder for Melksham? Let's see, Goodwin and McCartney spend years coaching him. O'Donnell will have seen him play many many times. Roos, Viney and Taylor work full time in footy. But no, Razzle Dazzle is upset and says we shouldn't trade a second rounder for him based on what? What do you bring to this debate that our FD doesn't?

    I'm not thrilled but I'll at least recognize the collective wisdom that made the decision is light years ahead of anything I know and will read here and therefore I'll back them. So in short, I can understand you don't expect me to work out "why" you and other supporters think. I think the reaction here is just dumb.

    I think we are desperate to become competitive, and we can only do that with midfielders. It does seem overs though....

    If he turns out half as good as Bernie then a 2nd rounder is cheap. If he turns out half as bad as Tom Gillies then ewwwwww.

    Melksham circa 2012/13 would be very nice.

    Pick 25 in whats meant to be a very weak draft is not overs, especially since Goodwin and McCartney have already coached him first hand and know what hes capable of

    its Milkshake time

  • Quote

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

    You're right about the first bit....

    and the wada risk wasn't worth a big discount?

    with that risk we are effectively giving the equivalent of a discounted first rounder

    and four years just adds to the risk

    but we should all be happy?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.

    • PREGAME: Geelong

      After a one-year reprieve, the Demons return down the freeway to Kardinia Park — the site of both one of our greatest triumphs and one of our darkest days — as they face the Cats under Friday night lights. This one could get ugly. Who comes in, and who comes out?
