what part was inaccurate?

omg how about you mind your own business, do you think anybody is interested in your contribution, which is a commentary of other posters? At least we are talking about footy FFS

you were obviously talking ABOUT me, and in any case, I don't need your permission/approval to make a post thanks

well excuse me. It's a new day and a new thread and you didn't restrain yourself from asserting your position again. 'stuie likes this' fmd

we were on the losing end, but not by much, of the trade in the first place. Now it's a year less footy and a cheater on our list. It's a stinker.

the reason some of us are condemning the club is because they obviously didn't do their job and predict he would be rubbed out for a year. You can talk for 1000 years and you will never convince me that they expected it to happen, and that they would have gone ahead with the deal anyway, had they known. That means it's a large stuff up. The new regime hasn't made many but this is a howler. ps the fact we drafted a bunch of duds and couldnt develop them over the last decade has precisely ZERO to do with it

certainly didn't work for us, but nothing works for us.

the club told me so it must be true

well aren't you just a good little Melbourne supporter who swallows everything the club says unquestionably Roos knew Melksham would miss the year Petracca's 4 weeks is a genuine estimate and that's just your efforts today

quoted for stuie's acolyte

why have you made this post? I have already acknowledged that unlike stuie, your position is valid and adequately reasoned. I don't want him to have that chance. He is Essendon scum who has been caught cheating. This is the point we disagree on as I've already made clear.

it is not an indicator of what stuie said it was. That's what I was replying to. you didnt answer this 'ah so you agree with stuie's absurd position that a 4 year contract is proof we knew he would be rubbed out for a year and we didnt care ?' i assume you dont agree with that which means you are arguing with me about nothing Can you stop talking to me now, stuie doesn't doesn't need some follower missing the point

hmm funny, you've avoided answering the question again, how strange

ah so you agree with stuie's absurd position that a 4 year contract is proof we knew he would be rubbed out for a year and we didnt care

is that all youve got? weak personal attack and no argument even attempted. explain to me what you 'liked' about mandee's ridiculously poor reading of a conversation and how it backs up your melksham argument. this'll be good. in fact, don't do it.

= you're 'cool with cheating'. That's OK for you to have that position. You don't have to just be contrary for the sake of it, to the extent you are actually contradicting yourself. you didn't say those exact words, but everyone on this site understands that is OK to claim that that summarises your position. You don't have to quote someone exactly, it's called 'paraphrasing'. See how Wiseblood shares your general POV, but he was able to articulate his argument in a way that makes a conversation function properly, and doesn't make a thread full of ridiculous circular pedantry? and as a result, he doesn't have a bunch of posters wanting to pull their hair out?

answer the question it's very straightforward you just don't do that when don't have an answer though huh i cant believe I am doing this again

my god. wtf. First of all, I thought most people understand that you don't have to be an AFL footballer yourself in order to comment on AFL footy. Otherwise the whole site should be closed now. Secondly, can you read? Stuie is claiming that a 4-year contract is some sort of 'proof' that Roos and Co knew he was going to get rubbed out. That is obviously complete bullpoo. How does that match your comment? At what stage has anyone questioned Melksham as a player? Seriously you should re-read the posts and apologise, you've completely misfired. oh and of course stuie likes it. Another poster completely misses the point and he scores it as somebody supporting him. Weak and desperate and typical.

insane. if you are NOT OK with cheating, how is it that you are OK with Melksham being at the club? don't you see how those two two things are mutually exclusive?

i'm saying i want him gone because he's a cheat you're saying you want him to say how much room is there for misinterpretation again you need to make up your mind about your own opinion

you already said that exact thing to me and then ignored my obvious reponse

3 years x 22 games = 66 games. 44 is 66.7% of 66.

well obviously the point we'll never agree on is that cheating is not cool, even if it's by one of your own players (who has never gone into battle for the red and blue BTW) you and stuie are apparently cool with it, each to his own

but I didn't even say that

The point is that CP should be in more cotton wool and being more careful given his career thus far than Jones, who has proven to be as durable as they come. This was my initial point and it was very clearly stated. Do you agree or disgree?
