Jed Anderson

He's missed some footy through the birth of kids and also got pneumonia whilst hunting in the wet in NT

How is a kid who's played 10 AFL games averaging less than 10 possessions, better than a 100 game player who finished 9th in Dons B&F this year and 5th a few years back?

Really!?

I can tell you now that Petracca is better footballer than Terlich and Petracca has not played a single AFL game.

And that's relevant to Anderson Vs Melksham, how?

I'm using the same logic you did.

[PaulRB 6,435]

I'm using the same logic you did.

The logic where I quote data on each players career achievements in the AFL to date, and you counter with a sophisticated version of "because"..?

Because your logic for rating Melksham higher than Anderson is flawed.

...

Shane Savage was highly rated coming out of Hawthorn and he actually got a game.

He's been pretty poor at St Kilda since. People constantly overrate average players at good clubs. Clinton Young is another example of a rubbish Hawthorn player who looked good in a good system.

Melksham has runs on the board at AFL level, Anderson has 'potential'.

As a Melbourne supporter, I'd think more than anyone you'd realise the downfalls on making decisions on the latter.

[Brayshaw Self 847]

Is anyone else worried about the Lake, Hale, Suckling and possibly Anderson departures opening up ~$1m in the Hawks cap (minus any TPP excess they paid this year)?

Could they steal Treloar?

Pretty disappointed we didn't push harder for this.. as a side thats crying out for outside run and hardness he would have been the perfect pick up.. instead we put more time and effort into chasing midgets like Ben Kennedy..

I don't think we would have been able to satisfy them in a trade DD, but agree he would have been a really nice addition to the side.

[RalphiusMaximus 6,111]

SO Anderson is worth a first rounder and some later picks exchanged? We HAVE to ask for a first round pick for Howe.

I get what your saying, but pretty sure Anderson's only 6cm taller then Kennedy.
