What

I highly doubt anyone at the club is thinking that way.

Everyone was panicking on Monday cos Adrian DaDodo claimed the deal was basically done and we would give pick 25 More than 2 days later and not a sign of life.... which is a good thing of course

You'd hope so. Adrian Dodo is a clown though, could take a while.

Well he can certainly kick long goals off either foot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z1k5DFakV9E

Pick 25 in whats meant to be a very weak draft is not overs, especially since Goodwin and McCartney have already coached him first hand and know what hes capable of its Milkshake time

So now I have to hope the Essendon players are cleared at the CAS? Sorry I cant do that, i want the Bombers to get smashed

Josh Mahoney confirmed Melksham wants to play for Demons. He cited Goodwin and McCartney having both coached him and knowing his ability. if B Mac is driving it, thats a good sign. The man knows talent and how to develop it.

Not to mention its completely out of AFL jurisdiction and free of their corrupt influence

It wont just be Goodwin it will be a group decision. Do you think Goodwin could just overrule the opinion of the rest of the footy staff?

Trade radio is back - praise allah!

Was he stil at the club when we got Hogan? I know he was there for the T Mac draft

Thats a good deal for us , we bag pick 40 or thereabouts for free. Doubt its true though

So one delisting of a depth player that cost us nothing, and two guys that aren't bad at all and played some good footy for us What about Vince, Tyson and Garlett? We have had a very good strike rate with recruiting in the Roos era so far

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.
