What

A hypotheical - If Jake has already committed to us verbally behind the scenes, can he change his mind? Is anything legally binding if no contract has been signed?

Playing the footy of his life as a forward, and was moved back. Stupid.

Glad i read through the last few pages.... Chooks mail is as good as anyones in the media, actually better. Now officially excited.

Mahoney and co. might be working their magic in the background. The thought of Kelly at the MFC is amazing... but we surely couldnt get both he and Lever? Wouldnt have enough to trade, for starters.

The Draft and Trading board is going to be great this year. Great players possibly on the move (Lever, Kelly), we are a destination club finally and we own our 1st rounder unlike last season. But whats even greater is that it isnt open yet! And hopefully isnt until our last game is finished (ie. the Grand Final)

Lever 1st Frost 27th Oscar 33rd Enough said. edit - well not enough said, they do play different roles. Didnt expect Oscar to be too high as our main tall back.

If he stays a Demon for his whole career, Neitz's goals record will be challenged.

Jake Melksham showed his worth, tightening his control on Dayne Zorko after the Lion was prolific in the opening term. Zorko finished with 26 disposals and a goal but his influence was limited after the first change, while Melksham had an impact himself as he picked up 29 disposals, a goal and 472m gained. The Melk rules.

BOOKMARKED DONT LET US DOWN KURT

The metres gained king and averaging 28 touches off half back combined with his immense courage.... surely will be AA. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-16/all-australian-40man-squad-whos-in-the-mix-from-your-club Michael Hibberd: Missed the first four games due to an Achilles injury, but the former Bomber has been one of the competition's best defenders this season. Hibberd has been one of the recruits of the year, with the attacking defender averaging a career-high 28 disposals and ranking No.1 in the AFL for average metres gained per match (566.9m).

http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-16/all-australian-40man-squad-whos-in-the-mix-from-your-club Clayton Oliver: Deserves to be in the final team based on his consistent output in a breakout second year at AFL level. Oliver has averaged 30 disposals, including 10 games above 30 touches or more, and 6.8 clearances per game. Gets criticised by some for over handballing, but his hands in heavy congestion are elite and almost unrivalled.

Hes on the verge of becoming the first player in the long history of the Melbourne Football CLub to average 30+ disposals in a season.

Melksham has been great too. Our recruiting has done a total 180 since the Roos era began.

Just thinking what an incredible move it was to trade up in the draft to nab him. Jumped right in front of Essendrug who took Parish, and who is about 1/5th the player Clarry is.

Yup his finishing is terrible Hes kicked 20 goals 32 behinds this season. And god knows how many missed everything or fell short.

Her mail is better than anyones. He definitely met with us.

Another 4 votes from the coaches and hes into 6th place. http://www.afl.com.au/news/2017-08-14/aflca-votes-round-21-cat-claws-back-lead Must be a massive chance for the AA team. And he should be joined by his mate Hibberd.

The goals he kicked from outside 50 were so effortless. He didnt even really need to wind up, and he kicked them with ease. He has a beautiful boot on him and I bet he kicks a bag of 5 soon enough. And hats off to Goody for finding the perfect role for him.

And thats where Jordan Lewis does his thing. He will be salivating at the prospect of a cut throat elimination final.

So I am gonna assume he will be in the AA team. We are on the verge of finals and he has been phenomenal. If they put Howe or that Docherty bloke from 5 win Carltank in ahead of him the selectors should be hung.

12 goals in his last 5 games. 10 straight games with at least 1 goal. Anyone still think a 2nd round pick was too much? This guy is a professional and the perfect team player.

https://www.sen.com.au/news/2017/08/10/you-re-a-coward-if-you-boo-james-hird-robbo The only coward I see is the head footy writer at the Herald Sun who protected Hird during the drug saga and was a cheerleader for the disgraced Essendon Football Club. If only the term 'fake news' was around during that time, Robbo would have been crowned the king.

Oliver, Petracca and Kelly in the midfield. Talk about the perfect blend. Three young superstars all with their own rare and incredible skillsets. Ok Ill stop dreaming now....

You think his teammates like him? He was the captain during the whole drug saga, and his 'leadership' was a disgrace. Good riddance.

Surely we are going hard at Kelly? Surely?
