He played a good game but Im betting he will be back to his old form next week

Yep. Always played better down back. Seemed to get upset that it meant occasionally having to spoil, man up, punch from behind and tackle - and all too commonly watch the ball sail over his head. But it was by far his best position. Took Buckley only a few games to work out exactly that.

I'd have preferred to keep him over Melksham as a half back, and I think if he got his head around the fact he's best suited as a back he could find consistency and be very good down there.

But hey, the cocahes can only suggest it so much, and if a player spits the dummy for a trade then so be it.

Yeah melksham has been really poor this season. Averaging career lows in disposals and marks.

But destined for a break-out year in 2017!

I only watched the first quarter, and Howe missed two targets by miles by foot. Did do a great kick-in though. After 100 games I cannot see his kicking improving, but he is only 25 so there still is hope.

Just needs a full preseason ;-)

Hasn't made a mistake all year and statistically he'll improve a lot next year.
