If there is no assumption, you'd have to think both Hawthorn & St Kilda have been incredibly negligent in their offers for Carlisle.

Yes. So much yes.

Snakes on a plane! Very happy to welcome Jake Melksham who I feel will be making a lot of people very happy to have been wrong.

No, it was Kennedy and Grundy.

Freeman was pick 10 and he wasn't even in the same draft.

Could possibly be waiting for Melksham to get his arss into gear, go to an internet cafe somewhere in Eastern Europe, print off the contract to sign, scan it for an exorbitant amount and then send it back.

Probably complicated by Dodoro specifically stating and interpreting that it would be pick 25, as opposed to our presumably deliberate wording of a "2nd round pick" allowing for the event where we downgrade a pick in the 2nd round.

Why stop there..?

Broomhead. Done heaps that kid. Really embarrassed us.

Could be. Or Doctor Who.

And we will be openly in 18 months' time.

Bring on the hot tuna milkshake!

This is gonna be great...

You definitely can if you're not talking about past performance, but what they will do.

Thanks for your expert opinion, but I'm going to back mine on this one, which is pretty much the opposite. Oh, and obviously that of Goodwin & McCartney, et al.

I don't agree, but anyway... Edit: I should clarify - inconsistent maybe, but I don't think Melksham is absolutely a poor decision-maker or has poor skills; quite the opposite. Consistency can and will be worked on, and I think will improve markedly in our environment. I also think his work ethic will add to the club culture.

Really? Vince was viewed by many as a soft front-runner with a deadly kick, often with good reason. What are Melksham's limitations exactly?

Might be wrong, but I think Bombers supporters will be up in arms in 18 months time, wondering how they got so little for him & calling for heads. He has all the attributes for great success.

I'm sure a lot won't agree with me, but I expect Melksham to have an impact equal to Vince.

Is this where it came from?? Oh dear. Not to be taken seriously then obviously.

I'd rather not lose Toumpas, but I'm happy to recruit Melksham.

No coach would want to be surrounded by sycophants and yes-men, nor would an assistant last if this were his M.O.

This is the bit that intrigues me...

Your understanding of how a football dept works = zero.

Strawberry, chocolate & banana are flavours of these. Looks like a hot tuna he does.
