"Pick 25 in this draft will slide down to around pick 30 when it is all done and dusted with academy selections and compensation picks. 30 is just about spot on for Melksham....... "

Never understand this statement, because all the academy kids are going to be taken regardless.

Best available player at 25 will be the same best available player at 30 after academy selections.

The description was correct at the time as JT was regarded as a top pick by the industry. What happened? Was it the hip problems? We have not seen the explosiveness or genuine speed as described and without the speed to give him time and space perhaps that impacts on his decision making because he has really struggled for composure at the top level.

Lack of confidence

He's never really had a full run at it, 100% and full of confidence.

I'd be sad to see him go, knowing he can be so much better.

It was a great footy contest and one Viney spoke about with pride.

“After a while, he was probably getting a bit upset and a few elbows were flying around and a few words were being spoken, so I love that s***. It fires me up and got me going, so it’s all good,” he said.
