WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB – JAKE MELKSHAM
I wouldn't take Melksham. He's a turnover merchant, but some of the posting on this thread has been a little hyperbolic. If true, we'd be going after him purely as depth. Whilst I don't agree with his recruitment specifically (for the aforementioned reason), unfortunately what it says to me, is that we are still struggling to attract even B graders to the club. This means we're having to settle for simply replacing the D graders (Bail, M Jones, Terlich etc), with ordinary C graders. Melksham probably has a higher ceiling than the blokes we'll get rid of, that's the only reason we're going after him. He's a slight upgrade on them. I just hoped we'd have a slightly higher standing now in the eyes of opposition players. Apparently not.

Michael Talia was pretty ordinary against us earlier in the year, but I'll back the club again on this.

I hope Goodwin's got it, but too early to tell. The players appear to really like him though.I posted my best 22 for next year on another thread the other day. It involves going after A graders in Prestia and Bennell and landing them both. Melksham wouldn't even make the emergencies in that scenario. Ultimately, I don't want us going after blokes with suspect disposal and decision-making. We've been there, done that.

They're past the point of no return a lot of these blokes. Much like a lot of our blokes who have moved to other environments (Blease, Sylvia, Moloney, Morton etc) and failed. The Milk Man has been Essendonised, so even if he was a reliable disposer of the football (clue, he's not), he's mentally scarred. Move on. We should be trying to improve our best 22, not going after depth. That's not how you build lists. We should be attempting to improve our 22. Some of the guys that we already have will become depth if we can improve our 22.

I trust the FD, but if they go after this guy, a lot of that trust will be broken. I don't care how much intimate knowledge Goodwin has of him, I've seen enough of him to trust my own judgement and we don't need another Grimes, but what's potentially even worse is that he could he banned from playing. Dumb, dumb, dumb if true.

So... Hamish Harltett. I wouldn't say no, but surely we need a bit more leg speed. I guess it'd depend on what we'd give up for him. What do the rest of you think?

No chance.

When will Melbourne break these embarrassing records?
Nope. It was at the 'G and Travis Johnstone ran around by himself for 46 or 47 possessions.

Thought he was incredibly ordinary for the first half. Worked himself into the game after half time, but was so-so for mine. Calling him a champion of the game is beyond laughable.
