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.

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.

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.

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.
