Traded #17: Jake Melksham - Traded to Melbourne for pick 25

[Yoda_]

His best is actually quite good. We haven't seen it for a little while but a new environment would see him blossom.

maybe...

A 2nd round pick makes perfect sense for Melksham if they are willing to pay him 400x4.

And to think The other Jake is also only worth a second round pick but in excess of $700,000

Could see him blossom, he's no guarantee to blossom.

Like any draft pick is any guarantee to make it either

ABC grandstand said on saturday that a straight swap for a 2nd round pick is a done deal.

Win/win for both clubs.
He was a pick 10 or 11 from memory, I'll never forget that game vs Geelong, he annihilated them.

Was at the game where he had a break out game and kicked 3 against the blues. Hasn't been able to back up his second half of 2013 form ever since.

His whole year was fantastic, not just the second half.

You make a good point. We should never draft again and just hope those that don't become good do eventually.

 

[habib1984]

i thought i heard SEN suggest that Howe might be in the mix for Melksham?

There's your problem.

 

[THOMO_31]

i know 4 years is too much, but 400k a year isnt big money. he will be on less than the average wage in 2 years time. perfect for melb with abit of Midfield Depth. i can understand us only giving 2. but if i was him he has to take that offer, giving him another 4 years in the system... no brainer

 

[Darealrath]

2nd rounder is about right. I suspect Melbourne will do well out of this - just have to hope we nail the pick.

 

[Bunk Moreland]

Slow, poor disposal, slightly uncoordinated.

Melbourne’s second round pick will be mid-20s. I’d tear their arm off if offered that.

yeah well true but it was out of the Ox's mouth who does have some inside goss from the dees.

This your great great grandfather by chance Thomo?
