  1. Yeah not entirely sure we gave him a fair go. He was delisted after only a year where it was ruined by that infection. He's been an absolute brute of a goalkicker at lower level.
  2. Jeff Garlett's Albury Tigers team who have been an absolute powerhouse of the ovens and Murray were eliminated last week. Same club where Daniel Turner was recruited from. Leigh Williams who was a former rookie listed player, now plays for Yarrawonga and took our the league goal kicking. They're set to play off in a preliminary final.

    Have a rest skip and get your set fit and firing for next year.
  4. Please, please, pleeeeeasee pick James hard just for thr LOL's
  5. Best response ever.
  6. I have brought this up before regarding his team selection this year. To be honest, this is genuinely the only thought I have that may explain him being re-signed. Other then that, I'm still perplexed that this is under heavy consideration by list management and Goodwin..
  7. I agree.. they've got good runs. Just feel we've changed tactic this year with the way we've list managed. Re-signing Joel Smith to a 2 year deal was the start for me.. and now the Melksham news and 1st rounder for Grundy just all seems to be a bit all over the shop for my liking.
  8. I don't want to jump ahead but a small part of me is sensing our up and coming list management is going to disappoint a lot of supporters. Jungle drums beating that we're about to hand over a first round draft pick for a 29 year old ruckman as this is what Collingwood will supposedly ask for. If this is going to be the case then it's a huge mistake imo. I'm genuinely confused why we're putting all our eggs in the Grundy basket when our biggest need right now is a key forward. On top of that, we're then happy to pay at least $650-700k for his salary for the next few years. This amount of money could be saved to go on an all out assult on say a Harry McKay from Carlton or a Ben King from Gold Coast. All this just makes zero sense to me. Then to top it off we're now about to resign a cooked Melksham who was part of the mess that is our forward line. I have faith in Tim Lamb and co, but if the reports are true which they've obviously have been around the Luke Jackson departing all year and the Brodie Grundy recruitment then its concerning imo for our list demographic moving forward.
  9. I thought he was this year until we started playing him ahead of guys like Chandler, Van Rooyen and Laurie who were showing much better for at VFL level then what Melksham was.
  10. Really disappointing to hear that we're set to recontract Jake Melksham. Michael Hibberd I can understand because he has been consistent with his form all year, but Melksham..? He's last couple of games showed that he's just past it. Other then the Carlton game he didn't much in any other games and he was incredibly poor against Sydney. Played as the 2nd tall forward forward so that alone has chewed games off Jacob Van Rooyen who once again justified on the weekend that he was physically ready to go. He's going to be 32 next year and our focus needs to be on the next wave of talent coming through like Laurie, Chandler, Bedford and Moniz-Wakefield. If we can get an extra list spot to bring in another developing tall forward/ruckman then surely that makes more sense then keeping washed up 32 year old forward flanker.
  11. I just hope he is prepared.. They're brutal bunch over there especially with their already high expectations on him.
  12. And was happy to smash anyone on here who said otherwise. Typical, and stock standard DD.
  13. I hope Luke and his family are fully aware just how absolutely brutal the WA supporter base and media can be. There is some genuine frustration and anger already from Freo supporters with the players that are being pushed out to fit this guy in alone. It's going to take a while for Freo/WC supporters to warm up to him because of the high expectations they'll have on purely from how much draft capital they've had to give up.
  14. Lukes mum just posted this on the MFC facebook lol...
  15. Huh? Since when?
  16. Thank you and good luck. Now get us the best deal possible Tim Lamb.
  17. That was 12 months ago. They can do whatever they like now..
  18. Why the hesitation from kozzie?
  19. I agree mate, I've been a broke record on this stating its bad list management from our end if we were to give up a 1st rounder for a 29 year old ruckman. Makes zero sense to me.
  20. We had showed huge interest in his draft year. This makes sense.
  21. I think you're about to be left disappointed.
  22. I'm in the same boat as you regarding Salem. You'd be silly not to at least test the waters regardless who he is friends with at the club. He's been incredibly disappointing this year, and yes I've taken into account his battled a bit with his body. Do we need to get ruthless with our list management? I don't think so, but I certainly don't think it's a silly idea to see what could be on offer for Salem to other clubs.
