Straight Sets Simon

I've rarely seen a draftee likened to a current player actually turn out like that player.

Is it just me, or are there far fewer highlights packages of players this year?

I didn't want Melksham, I have never rated him all that highly but he's here now so of course people like myself are going to (at least try to) support him.

I don't rate Melksham, but I like the fact the club targeted a player and landed him without too much fuss.

Jake Carlisle?

Prove me wrong, Jake.

The problem with this argument is you need to factor in every player drafter by pick 25 or later from those drafts, not just the pick alone.

Wait, Andy Lovell or Brett Lovett?

Did he want Wines?

I've always assumed he is a frequent poster on Demonland, still a small part of me thinks he's a made up character someone puts on as well.

West Coast were into Morton, Fremantle were into Sylvia, Geelong were into Blease, North Melbourne were into Gysberts and Richmond were into Maric. I'm not concerned.

Because they were all proven performers (Tyson would have been if not injured at GWS) at their previous clubs.

Riley's been delisted while Michie and Newton are still very much on the fringe at this stage.

Welcome to Casey, Jake.

Jack VIney's girlfriend also loves this.

That's what I love about Jack Viney.

Before he did his back I would, all depends on what he costs.

Jake Melksham is already my new whipping boy.

It's nice to know that Barry Prendergast still takes an interest in Melbourne.

That's overs.

I'm not a huge fan of coaches bringing in players from their old clubs. I realise they have inside knowledge and so on, but I find it a bit lazy in a way.

He's already my least favourite Melbourne player.

I dare say the club will hear about it from the fans we if do trade for him. The "veil of negativity" will be brought out of the wardrobe in a number of Demon households.

You're comparing Garlett with Melksham?

I don't think anyone frothed over those players, also what did we have to give up to get them? Not much. The fact that we know most of those players were a mistake should be a lesson to not repeat it again with Melksham.
