Just had a look. Oliver responds to user comments himself, mainly about his appearance. Clearly doesn't take himself too seriously. A good quality to have.

I'm pretty sure we have every base covered. A delicious melting pot of crazies. Re Parish's looks, he'll only get targeted if he plays in a manner that attracts such attention. Fyfe is widely admired and praised. Watts attracts derision from all corners. Both boyish looking with pretty hair. Poles apart in the way they play.

If that's directed towards me, you are misinterpreting. I'm not ruling anyone in or out based on a highlights package. If those who have watched him extensively deem him worthy of pick 3, so be it. I'm merely saying that on initial appearances, I wasn't overly excited.

I doubt anything will top that highlights package. To be honest, Parish looks extremely vanilla to me. He's clearly rated highly by those in the know for a reason, but his highlights don't scream top 3 pick.

Dear god, stop. You are going from thread to thread talking in absolutes about how we MUST take player X or we'll be STUPID to take player Y. You've now confirmed that you are basing your opinions on highlight reels. You are in no position at all to be making such grand statements. If you are doing it purely for possible bragging rights about certain players that we don't pick, just save it. No-one cares. They really don't.

I'm ready to ride the Melky Way in 2016 #ridethemelkyway

Bumping this post because it wasn't just the usual "I'll back in the FD's decision" type of platitudes. It makes a reasonable case.

Most Bummers fans would've been just as happy if he was delisted. We part with Pick 25. Oh well, deal is done and we welcome aboard the Milkshake. Prove em all wrong, Jake.

Bingo.

I'm a little gun shy on his first idea. Luring a player when they are halfway home to WA has ultimately not panned out too well for us recently. I don't think I've ever seen someone on here who thinks they are more on top of the F/S options available than the club. That is some next level stupid right there.

Could almost change the title based on that Mahoney interview. He'll be here next year.

Absolutely incredible game. Shat also over yesterday's snoozefest. Well done to JT. Deserves that moment.

Looks imminent. Fingers crossed that Goodwin can get the best out of him.

I wish we could just find out one way or the other. If I have to face the reality of cheering for Jake Melksham, I want to prepare myself. That will take time. Possibly some practice.

Just added them up and with Cross having been given the tap on the shoulder, if we were to trade all of Howe, Watts and Grimes, that is 562 games experience we'd be pushing out the door in an already very inexperienced side. Cool heads needed at club HQ. All very well to move these guys on, but not if you're replacing them with four rolls of the dice. As good as our youngsters look, we know better than any club what can happen when they are given too much responsibility too soon.

Definitely. There are arguments for and against. For the reasons you've given among others, it would be a cautious yes from me. You'd also have to weigh up the strength of KPPs at the pointy end of this year's draft, and our need to find Hogan a forward partner for the next decade or so.

JPK is obviously a star, but he's no spring chicken.... If recruiters are absolutely confident he can go the distance past 30 then it would be a yes, but this rumour was circulating last year too.

Hope there's some truth to that. Bugg would be a very good pick up.

They say only a mother could love a mug like that. Surely even Mrs Daniher has her moments of doubt.

You're going about that terribly. Your 4th post here was to tell a respected poster they had no football knowledge and should be embarrassed. All over the incredibly complex topic of body language on the field. Completely unwarranted. We have enough angst in this joint without you adding to it for no good reason.

"Complllletely llllacking in llllogic.."

From this... To this... Others may attempt the backflip. No-one will ever rival the master

Same, and they are notorious for overrating their players. If we sign him and he comes in and performs, the humble pie will taste delicious. The impact of the drugs saga is a relative unknown in terms of the degree it has affected each individual. It may well have hit him harder than most. I'm still wary as hell.

Well, that seals it. Welcome to the MFC, Jake.

We will after next season. If we can keep the list healthy, serious inroads can be made in 2016. I'm not tipping final 8 but if we can give it a nudge with our list profile, there is going to be a lot more interest to join the ride in 2017. As it stands though, outsiders need to be convinced and 2015 didn't provide enough in the eyes of many.
