What

Just have to be positive. No young kid could have blossomed in the Essendon environment the last few seasons. It must have been the most toxic footy environment in the history of VFL/AFL. A new lease on life will be good for not just Melksham but any other player smart enough to leave.

I dont think a 12 year old could describe Essendon supporters as perfectly as I just did

Who give s [censored] what those Hird worshipping losers think

I did the other day, I had Ablett Jnr coming to the Demons Still could happen btw

so boring at the moment with us being linked to anybody significant I know its early days but come onnnnn. Hopefully its a good sign we have something going on behind the scenes and arent leaking, instead of a precursor to a big let down this trade period

As will I. The hysteria has probably been a bit over the top. He was looking the goods as a 21 year old then, the drug scandal happened. Hard for any young player to develop in the toxic environment of Essendope. Perhaps a change of scenery will see him blossom.

Lets get excited https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1k5DFakV9E

The day cant come soon enough when this potato re-signs with Essendope and this thread can be locked and disappear forever

I suspect this is exactly what will happen. How many other clubs would Howe get a game at? He aint worth more than 290k

Motlop just re-signed with the Cats, mark another one off the list

Yeah fair point... suppose it cant hurt if they are the last 2 blokes on the list

Surely we will pay out M Jones and Terlich.. its terrible they are contacted and will suck to take the financial hit in the short term, but we can not carry F grade spuds any longer

Well Daniel Cross has retired. There another spot open.

Wish I had your enthusiasm Adam... Lynch seems like a good possibility and would be a nice acquisition, but the MFC just doesn't attract established players at the talent level of Prestia, Bennell and Whitfield.

I wouldn't be fussed if he was traded, put it that way.

Anyone think Watts will be traded?

Always consider the source

A lot is said abut Hogan but Jack Viney is turning into a star before our eyes, hes playing phenomenal footy and opponents are scared any time hes in the vicinity. He can shutdown a superstar and hes also improved his attacking footy the last couple of months. (hes had a shot on goal the last 6 games and 7 of the last 8). A big chance for the Bluey despite unfortunately missing 6 games!

I havent, like everyone else I am just going by under 18 highlights and what we know about his style of play and physical attributes

I still remember before the draft, Emma Quayle said that if the Demons take Ollie Wines at pick 4 there will be explosions in the centre square for the next decade with him and Viney in there. Hope we will still get to see that happen

This is the best comparison, but I think he will be better overhead with imore potential to play as a deep forward when needed Maybe a cross between Ricciuto/Dangerfield

LOL i should have read the post before looking at the team.. I though you had Jordie Mckenzie on the back flank

He never gets on the park He struggles to find the ball he doesn't kick goals He has WADA hanging over his head He might be the absolute last player in the entire AFL id want the MFC to go after

One of the ASADA 34 Not worth the risk
