Agree with everything you said Stuie, it would be a very difficult position to be in. It's a shame the players didn't man up and tell the truth as i don't think they ever intended to cheat. I was alot more sympathetic to the players before their lies were revealed, it's a shame they took that path.

The value of the trade does not bother me Stuie, it has nothing to do with why i'm angry. I would feel the same if we got him for nothing, I have no time for liars and cheats.

Harsh but true Bizkit, What the players did to cover it up was disgraceful

He conspired with the other players to hide and lie about what they did, no excuse in my book mate. He's lucky he didn't get longer, i have zero respect for Melksham or any of the other lying players after reading the finding

No fan of Jake, up to his neck in the cover up, we don't need people like that at the club, i wish we never recruited him.

I thought the same when i watched it

Definitely, Dawes & Pederson will be gone at the end of the year, we need another quality tall forward.

Timothy Broomhead

I like the straight swap CB, i would be delighted if the Dons accepted Dawes for Melksham, would do that deal in a heartbeat

Read this type of thing every year, you are kidding yourself if you think it's a hasty decision. Fitz is not steak knives, he has zero value trade wise.

If they didnt want to keep him they wouldn't offer him a contract, they would just trade him.

Is he quick SPR ?

Signed a 4 year deal last season

Shannon Byrnes ?

Jack Hutchins would have to be a chance for a rookie spot, like the look of him. No way would i consider Leuy, would rather sign Jamar for another year than waste 3 years and 500 plus per season on a dinosaur

Lyon mentioned Prestia as the player that would leave, never mentioned Melbourne or any other club though

What's a frog sh't artist ?

If Jamar retires is Jones eligible for the veterans list ?

Was never a member of the cheersquad but bought my one and only dufflecoat in 1985, had 14 Rod Grinter on the back

Not sure what his name is mate, last time i saw him was 1994 at an after match function.

I was watching some old melbourne replays from the late 80's, two members of our cheersquad get alot of tv tme, i remember them well. A middle aged man wearing an 80's light blue hoodie with no.45 stitched on the back and a young tall fellow with blonde spiked hair. I wander what happened to these two, anyone know ?

I would as well but i wouldnt be surprised if he was after a change of scenery.

I dont think Garland will stay after this season. i think he'll do a Rivers, i found it surprising he asked not to be considered for this years leadership group. I can't see Roos cutting and paying out contracted players, Jones & Terlich will stay Retired- Jamar Delist - Garland (FA), Trengove, Bail, McKenzie, Hunt Trade Options - Howe, Watts, Grimes, Dawes Rookie Promotion - Vandenberg, Harmes Rookie Retain - White, King

It was the Pre Season draft we planned on taking him back, rookie lists were introduced in 1996
