The Stigga

You put a lot of value on such a massive unknown.

We were all happy to give 10 and 27 this year. So what the hell is the difference between 10 and say 15 next year? Nothing. People massively overrate draft picks.

Yes

Collingwood need points for their father son selections I think. Dunn, 57 and 59 for pick 28?

Sounds like someone looking for things that aren't there. This is just plain wrong. He is one of the better kicks that I have seen of this years talent, has a lovely traditional style. His kicking may lack penetration, but this will come with age and development.

Next Fyfe, must be picked.

Absurd

Hopefully utter bullshite.

I think the populist view is that any bans will not be for a great amount of time.

I would hope they do have a fair idea what a bloke's worth. I just don't believe he will add value to the squad based on my observations.

I don't necessarily believe it either because the very notion of giving Jake Melksham $1.6 million guaranteed is patently absurd (and obscene).

My point is that it was only two years ago a three time premiership player was being paid roughly the same amount as we are now offering an NQR from Essendon. I'm just disagreeing with your assertion that he will be depth at best, but rather a list clogger that will add no value to the club, and an expensive one at that (if the reports are accurate that we are indeed offering him 1.6 million over 4 years).

Perhaps, but at $400,000 a year? Corey Enright was on this kind of coin after his 3rd flag...

Another list clogger Ron, And a highly paid one at that if reports are accurate.

Recruiting at Melbourne has officially:

Been outstanding the past few weeks. That intensity...
