Posted 17 August 2014 - 08:38 AM Jake Melksham should/could be a target. Hard and classy. Just what Roos stated we need. Believe he is disgruntled and looking for a fresh start. In his own words he 'plays best when given a role'. Pick 23ish should get the job done. Roos should get into bombers ear about a trade/swap scenario. (After we know the ASADA washout) JV7 likes this Like This Did I know something 14 months ago..... Lol -
All opinions point to the fact that the draft is indeed a lottery as some have pointed out. Melksham will thrive in our (new) environment in my opinion. Not many players in the whole league who have some of the skills this kid has. And as far as my 'Collingwood supporting mate said this' and my 'Essendon supporting mate said this......' Really have a good think about that before affixing any relevance at all please.... This reminds me of the Frost trade for a second rounder where people got their knickers in a knot. Obviously there was a method involved and the result was Frost, ANB and Oscar Mc for the one pick. Good deal I reckon. Not to mention extra picks giving us the ability to delist more if they see fit. I think I'll trust our FD on this one.

Those calling Melksham a spud need to put it into perspective. He actually has elite skills on both sides, is quick and a competitor. The problem is his decision making at times. It's generally ok but when it's bad it's Bad hence the whipping boy status. Can this be fixed? Who knows? Although maybe a fresh start in a team with a concise game plan might eliminate the clangers. Flip of a coin I guess, although skills aren't the issue as has been the main gripe with our NQR's.

If Watts 'wants' to leave then we should work hard to make sure we get a suitable trade. Having said that IMO I think Watts is your typical late bloomer. In 2-3 years I see him playing the role Richo played in his last few years at Richmond. (Playing deep, high, left and right forward and running up the ground to provide the support/link up when needed but with better disposal) Edit-typo

And that's if they are playing the hometown rivals. It would be 90% of the stadium if it were against an interstate team.

Toy would be a good acquisition too. I think he is still uncontracted?

Prestia & Caddy for pick 13 and a player that doesn't want to buy in to our new direction.......
