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?

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
