PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 27th November, 2023
Surely the Club have learnt by now and have included WCW warnings as part of the new players induction. Kol either missed it, or he decided to just take his chances. Mind you, he wouldn't has stood a chance if WCW was stalking him. And by the way WCW, next time you do your makeup, please use a mirror.

PRESEASON TRAINING: Monday 27th November, 2023
It’s too late for Kol now that he had been WCW’d (he’ll probably ask for a transfer now), but for the Club’s sake, please keep WCW away from the other newbies.

Training Ground?
Haha, no way we could miss them dp. If by some slim chance we end up at Fisherman’s Bend, we will all have you to thank.

2023 MFC Financials
Good question - but not one that anyone of us on DL would be able to answer, which I'm sure you would know Hawk. I suggest the best place to raise that question is with the Club. Perhaps once you do, you might inform us of the response please.

Phantom Drafts 2023
Finally, someone has woken up. My post from 30 Oct.: The Pick 1 Thread Neil Crompton replied to Demonland's topic in Trade, Draft & Free Agency I think we have two clubs (NM and WC) playing chicken at the moment to see who will give way first. I think we leave them alone and do our own thing and see what happens. Would the Hawks be willing to trade their pick 4 (and a guarantee we would not pick Watson) for pick 6 and our future first? We then have a nice hand at the draft - 4 and 11, which I'd be happy with - but it may also make WC be a bit more inclined to relinquish Pick 1...

Nick Watson
Until I saw that highlights package, I had been put off Watson due to his lack of height. But what I saw there was probably, imo, the most skilful player at the draft by a mile. What I especially like is that he never tries to do too much - like Reid and McKercher do - and he always looks for someone in a better position- and has the skills to get it to him. Up until today, I’ve been certain I’d take Curtin at pick 6. But now I think we’d be mad if we didn’t take Watson if he is available.

Max Promises Tough Love this Preseason
“Hi mate, if you are here to ask me about my tip for the Cup, happy to oblige- but I wouldn’t put my money on it. But if you are here to ask me football related questions, can I say that I am currently on holiday, and am enjoying my day at the races with a few close mates. I will happily answer these types of questions in a months time when I’m back at work. That ok for you? I’m sorry if it’s not, but that’s the way it’s gonna be”.

Thank you Demonland
I agree with your sentiment demosaw, but it seems as if it's always my best work that gets binned.

My god. Kettle black and all that! Have you had a look at your avatar BBO?

Melksham set to play on in 2024
Totally agree Ernest. We obviously haven't been successful for a long, long time or we'd be used to this "tall poppy syndrome". Expect this behaviour while we are successful and wear it as a badge of honour.

If you have no interest in the “girls game” OD, one wonders why you would possibly care to know what the length of their socks are?

The Pick 1 Thread
I think we have two clubs (NM and WC) playing chicken at the moment to see who will give way first. I think we leave them alone and do our own thing and see what happens. Would the Hawks be willing to trade their pick 4 (and a guarantee we would not pick Watson) for pick 6 and our future first? We then have a nice hand at the draft - 4 and 11, which I'd be happy with - but it may also make WC be a bit more inclined to relinquish Pick 1 (certainly more so than our previous offer to them) if WC's main aim is to be more certain of getting Curtin and another good first round player. So, if we are lucky, it might net us Pick 1.
