Just for interest, is there ever a player you have been positive about recruiting? In my observation you have dissed every opposition player we have shown interest in.

Then once they arrive - alchemy!

My opinion of players never changes, even when and if we recruit them, with the FD obviously having a different opinion, I support them if they are a Melbourne player

But I stay away from the denigration that appears on here when a player doesn't live up to the expectation placed on them by the experts on here

I have an opinion on the players we are looking at recruiting, but sometimes it doesn't agree with the nass hysteria others share

Yes Colyer has speed, but his ball use and defence is not up to  par, something Hunt has been criticised for as well on here

My opinion, you don't have to agree with it, at least I specify why I have that opinion, different than some who just blindly say 'get him' and the question why others don't agree

You say your opinion never changes but that is a very limiting approach - everyone sometimes gets it wrong  about a player's potential.

What did you think of Jake Melksham before he was recruited?  Has your opinion changed there at all?

Must say I am not thrilled at the prospect of Colyer.

Bombers will be dumping players now for Shiel room.

I think Baguley is a better player, but we may not need his type.

I thought Melksham was a player whose potential was unfulfilled, never thought of him as nothing more than an average midfielder

Obviously FD thought the same, move forward and hey presto, still has his limitations particularly in the forward pressure area

My meaning was my opinion wouldn't change immediarely just because we recruited a player

Anyone with elite speed I'm happy to bring in. We're still a bloody slow footy side.

If we get May, maybe Frost loses his spot. Add to the fact that Hunt may not be in the team we literally have not 1 player with elite speed which is a worry. Stretch isn't anywhere near as quick as Colyer.  

Sorry, but as long as you keep that avatar you will forever lack credibility
