Watching it on TV the wind looked to play a massive part in our poor kicking disposal into our 50. We seem to be dominating in general play, I can see a 7 or 8 goal quarter to the dees coming up. I hope im not wrong

At least Matt jones performed in the VFL. The toump didn't even fire there, cut our losses we drafted a dud with a early pick. Time for us to move on now

I'm stoked with this deal... Yes the toump was pick 4 and effectively got pick 29 for him 3 seasons later but correct me if I was wrong but cale Morton was a pick 4 as well, both clearly had skill to make it in the AFL but neither have the heart or courage to go hard at the contest what's the point on keeping him on the list just because he was a high pick, he doesnt cut it so he's gone. And to get Kennedy and 50 for Howe is about even IMO. Shattered we couldn't deal with Gold Coast but if we can get bugg for pick 50 I'd take Kennedy and bugg for Howe.

Hi guys and girls, I'm a long time reader but first time poster on this forum and just wanted to add my 2 cents on the Melksham deal. For me I think it's a win for the club, Melksham in comparison to Watts statistically speaking are almost identical since they were drafted although Watts is a year older. Jake was once a high draft pick (granted it doesn't mean everything) but it meant Essendon must have rated him highly in his draft year as we did with Watts. And both haven't lived up to their potential yet. So it begs the question would anyone on this forum happily trade out jack watts for anything less than pick 25? Personally I wouldn't and that's why I think Melksham deal was a good get. Granted I will say Watts has a higher ceiling due to his polish but with Melksham we will get someone who will give their all and not afraid to hurt the opposition (fairly) which is what a lot of you have wanted in our team in previous years. No I don't believe he will rack up 25+ touches every week and be top 5 in our B and F but I see a player who will go out and give his all and play the way the game should be played. I believe there is a negative view of Melksham not just because he hasn't quite lived up to his potential but just purely because he is a ugly bastard and he gets under your skin, maybe that's the sort of player we need in our back half to get under the skin of the opposition a bit. Just my 2 cents and no this post was not made to belittle Watts in anyway, I think Watts will be a star for the MFC.
