Are we fully committed to using pick 25 (vs. pick 29) for Melksham? According to this morning's paper, it still adopts the wording of 'a second round pick' suggesting that we can utilise 29 and retain 25. Also, I cannot see why we cannot use 50 to get Bugg and either utilise 25 in the draft, use it on another player such as Plowman or Tomlinson (both of whom seem to be up for grabs), or leveraging/packaging it up to gain another first round pick!

Paperwork has been lodged CBD, pick 25 is Essendons

What ever happened to the idea of Zac Jones coming home to join his Bro at the Demons - Thought it was a monty?

He signed a new swans contract a few months ago

Signed a new contract a few months back. Even so, I haven't seen too much of him that's impressed me since he debuted.

One to revisit in a few years in my opinion.

[Curry & Beer 5,444]

You are a bit old to believe in fairytales C&B, Demonland votes...Seriously ? ..the same Demonland votes that had Toumpas finish above Dunn

are you telling me you thought Howe had a good year?

did you happen to catch any of the games?

[rjay 25,105]

Chasing and catching: not necessarily the same thing.

Though in any case, I thought that the priority was mids, mids and more mids, it was the press who ramped up the "a mate for Hogan" idea.

No, it came from us.

It must be addressed either from within or bringing someone in.

I don't think he had a good year C&B, but he is not as bad as some are making out in this thread.

Fingers crossed we pull off a miracle with Aish.. All depends on the pitching skills from here!

Are we even linked to Aish in the slightest?

Are you watching the baseball playoffs? What team does Aish play for?

Coincidentally I just attended Cubs Mets G1 @ Citifield the other night lol

But no, I'm referring to our pitching skills @ MFC.. Late mail that were talking with him Now-ish in a last minute steal attempt. Can't see us pulling it but who knows

[Tolstoys Nudge 1,740]

Don't shoot the messenger champ - not one of mine! I don't post anything I hear first hand anymore remember, fear of angry Mob syndrome etc.. Mate text me this saying he heard this in Melb and that were pitching to his Mgmt I assumed it was out there already!

Clearly not - But we are Brisbane's preferred option apparently.

...that would be a nice comeuppence to the pies for the 'sting' they pulled off on Howe!

Howe/Pies seem to have hatched their plan some time ago but 'forgot' to tell MFC!

Aish would be a good get! And Brisbane could do with an extra early 1st rnd pick for their Academy players then swap other picks...beats pies 2016 2nd pick ie somewhere around 30-35...

What a delight it would be if we swooped and pinched Aish out from under their noses!!

Go MFC

With Mahoney in charge there is not chance.

I read that today but thought it was a typo and they meant Nth Melbourne?

Well unless that's what he read but he did heard not read and I'm assuming it's been reported elsewhere also then! Mahoney is a sound bloke to head such a coup - never mind that!

[jnrmac 20,189]

Been away so haven't read the thread fully but did I read Emma Quayle somewhere say that had we not chosen Toumpas we would have chosen Bne Kennedy?? Surely that can't be right.

Where are the posters that swore black and blue it was a choice between Toumpas and Wines? What is the real story here?

I went to the start of the thread and read the first dozen pages or so. Never a mention of Kennedy, doesn't mean the club weren't interested I suppose. Still, seems a bit odd. Edited October 20, 2015 by Ethan Tremblay

That is way harsh. Considering Howe had already sorted a deal with Buckley weeks (months) ago. When that happens you have to salvage the best you can

Roos should give Buckley a broken nose on 360 next year for pulling that sh!t. Howe was not an FA...

[Grimes Times 1,278]

In basic terms Melbourne began the exchange period with:
- Picks 6, 24, 42 and 60, Jeremy Howe and Jimmy Toumpas

It now sits with:
- Picks 6, 29, 46 and 50, Jake Melksham and Ben Kennedy

[Cards13 9,117]

Mate, really?

Was taking the [censored] R. Check my recent posts on the Mahoney bashing.

Emma Quayle's twitter made mention of the first point. Terry Wallace (?) said yesterday that virtually every list manager would have picked Toumpas ahead of Wines, even Port Adelaide.

Others (Damian Barrett ?) said the same thing - that Toumpas was tipped to go at 2 or 3. Mention on MFC website that we were looking at Ben Kennedy around the time of the draft.

I know it was Nudge, but I wouldn't be interested in Aish either. His contested ability doesn't fit the 'new' MFC mould anyway, so doubt this is on at all.

Further to this, his manager, Liam Pickering stated a few days ago Aish only wants to go to Collingwood or he'll stay at Brisbane. This was after he rejected a big offer from North. I'm sure us North Melbourne have been confused.

Not interested in an entitled little twit.
