can not believe we didn't get anything back for melksham, absolute joke

Give that man a steak.

Looks like a bloody bantamweight.

So much meh in this.. here i was thinking Melbourne wouldn't just roll over..

Hey Chook he looks a bit constipated IMO!!!

This may all be linked to something else other that a straight swap that we'll probably never know about.

That's what I'm thinking.

Well, that's what I'm thinking to make myself feel better anyway.

Think that's Melkshams head on Cale Mortons body.

Why get A graders when we can get solid C graders!

I know we have no snow flakes chance in hell of getting an A grader but it still shits me.

Ahh it is so nice to see DL returning to its usual positive self. Apparently Roos, Goodwin, McCartney and co have no idea what they're doing

So does this mean we're still a chance for Dangerfield or...?

True.

I wish him all the success imaginable and hope he rips it up for the club.

Think of it as a 10 step process. Most of us will come around to acceptance soon enough. Right now we are in denial/grief/anger.

Why??????

Are they discussing grammar on Trade Radio?

aint you bin listnin thru the ol' grammarphone, EH?

Don't understand the consternation - he's a better player than those we delisted and will likely walk into our 22. I'd have him in the team ahead of guys like Grimes or Watts as well. Whatever you say about him he is a competitor and I think he'll relish playing in a different environment with a FD that isn't run by an egomaniac.

My only concern is the WADA penalties as I think the Essendon players will get smacked. Not sure what, if any, assurances the AFL has given to clubs that trade in EFC tainted goods. I would assume none and we wear the risk but I guess offering him a 4 year contract (if that's what eventuated) means we have faith that he'll be a long term player even if he copped the maximum 2 years.

Probably the twentieth time that joke has been posted in the last 48 hours. And it still isn't funny.

We should have played Howe as FF for two winnable games mid-year, directed all forward entries to him.. given him a bag of 8 goals and then traded him at a fat price ala Jake Carlisle Super Swingman

Yep because the last time a melbourne player kicked 8 goals was...........

I suspect it's a contract extension.

Ah well, there goes the dream that it was for our 2016 second-rounder, which could be around pick 35
