Grigg is unsigned.Just saying.

Grigg is such a team player that he will wait to sign his contract until last to ensure the structure suits our salary cap.

It may also be the reason Lennon hasn't signed because we are determining what we can pay him and when.

Melbourne trading Pick 25 for Melksham does not help our cause. Carlton could easily argue Yarran is worth Pick 12 now.

Go the other way.
Melksham played 23 Senior games
Yarran played 11.
On that basis our offer is pick 49.

 

[docko911]

Melksham broke 20 disposals 5 times in 18 games.

Just saying.... Not sure how Melbourne got out of there with their first.

 

[Squibbs]

Melksham will look even worse in Melb colours

 

[SplintWhisky]

I look forward to beating geelong in 6 years

 

[Tiger_Of_Old]

Yeah very informative...not

The only think I'll take away from it is he said they're looking for more "mature" types. Not sure Townsend qualifies as a "mature" type.

22yr old vs 18yr olds.Think Townsend qualifies.

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

Melksham is no star, but he's not the complete shit truck people in here make him out to be.
Skills do let him down a bit at times,but not a dud.
Hard to say what else Melbourne could do.
They wanted him and you aren't going to walk away with a bloke paying a third ronder.

 

[VaultWanderer]

So is the trade period closed till 10am tomorow?

What?
Are you taking the piss?
The reaction of bigfooty supporters is going to illustrate to me what type of player Melksham is?
Half of those Melbourne supporting campaigners wouldn't know their arseh*le from their elbow!
Some in fact I bet many have never even watched him play. All just being sheep.
I know what type of player he is.
Honest,hard at it, hard working and fit. Skills and decision making hurt him at times.
As for spud, thats just a shit word used on bigfooty that means shit to me.
The price ( pick 25) is about right if you want the player.

 

[Juke]

waste of a day

Not for me, I blocked BF to get work done.

 

[docko911]

I look forward to beating geelong FOR 6 years

EFA

Dangerfield, Selwood and whoever else will only delay their decline. I feel for Geelong they are going to fall very hard without any youth to save them.

I apologise if you're a family member and you took offence to me calling him a spud

 

[JR82]

How hte **** does MElksham get pick 25? Surely can't of been that far from being delisted.

based on this we could have given them Arnott/McDonough for thier 1st....

 

[Rodney Dangerfield]

I'm not offended nor have I ever met Jake Melksham in my life.
Just outlining why I think he is a little better than hes being portrayed.

Geelong had their time in the sun.

Now it is their time to go back to carrying handbags. And about bloody time

 

[SpudsLoveChild]

Grigg is unsigned.Just saying.

Part of the Kennedy trade?

 

[Tigerbob]

Essendon have done well so far.

To get an earlyish pick for Melksham and Luenberger for nothing is a good start.

Why we didn't target FREE agency is beyond me.

Who should we have targeted?
