What

thank you

Anyone comparing him to our VFL level Z grades like Bail and M Jones are clueless... he is Bernie Vince like the way he can kick off both feet and get penetration on his opposite foot. He will be a great pick up for us (WADA permitting).

Can anyone name a young player at the Dons who has developed as a player during the ASADA saga? Its understandable that they havent kicked on in that environment There is hope for Jake yet. Think he will realize his potential at the Dees. Get behind him folks, its Mlikshake time.

really Einstein? What a genius you are,

Thanks for the laugh lol go get em Jakey

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
