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.

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.

Mainly because he's a bog ordinary footballer. The rare times he actually gets his hands on it he coughes it up. Skills mean nothing if you turn to water under pressure. Sure he might be a bit better than Ro Bail. Whoop de doo. What do you give up for a marginal upgrade on Bail? Not a lot I'd suggest. And you sure as [censored] don't offer them a 4 year contract. Almost every player can compile a half decent highlights package. It means nothing. His consistency isn't there and if it's anything more than third round it's a massive risk based on the form he's shown over the past 24 months. I'd go as far as to say the only place you'd find people who think this is a good idea are absolute optimists on Demonland. Everyone else is laughing themselves silly, including Bombers fans. The most positive thing I can say is that a change of club often works wonders. It would have to work a minor miracle on what I've seen of Melksham this season.

There's surely no way the club would offer this potato a 4 year deal.

Next.

Frontrunner at this stage.

The lounge will see a change of name if we sign him.

Nothing can make you feel old quite like a draftee who was born in 1997.

Not sure what your're alluding to, but he could not have handled himself any better on the Sunday Footy Show. Well rounded, confident and humble. Stumbles over his words occasionally but who cares? He'll get better at that. He's a very impressive young fella. Exactly the type you'd want representing your club in the public eye. Let's not forget that Taylor Walker is a captain and thought to be leading the club brilliantly. If he's considered acceptable, I think JV will be just fine.

I'd prefer to see one captain but It's shaping up to be a very tough choice in a few years if they both track the way they are currently. Nice problem to have.

Worshipping at the altar of Viney. Can't blame Hanley too much for that.

Please put a line through Brisbane, praha. I need to see that line.

This is where DLand needs a tagging option. Update required, praha.
