I'm going early. He is our next "A-grade" mid-fielder.

Was great again today. His next big test will come when he starts getting more attention from run with or tagging type players.

yep, he would/should now be considered a permanent fixture. He last couple of games have been very good. In a couple of years with some more size he will be a gun.

One of the commentators said today that Melksham apparently knows how to handle himself pretty outside of football. He's had some amatuer fights.

Just seems to have time (without being overly quick), and puts the ball to where players should be rather than where they are.

Probably already our 2nd or 3rd best midfielder after Watson and maybe Stanton.

Should get a rising star nomination soon.

Colyer shows some good signs too.

Even Myers looked ok today.

Settle down LR, people said the same thing about Stanton.

Kid has no tank at the moment, running hmself into the ground. Will get alot better in the next year or two.

Myers looks completely lost. Doesn't know what he is doing. I'll give him one more chance, then he is done for mine.

I agree, Myers is still hopeless. Im afraid he is just another top 10 draft pick down the drain.

He keeps getting better each week and will get another chance in front of a big crowd next week.

Recovered well after a shaky start. He needs continuity before we can make a judgement call on his career. You really need to play a string of back to back games to learn the game at AFL level and to get the confidence to know you're good enough at that level.

I think the biggest let down and underperformer at the moment is Prismall. He is not hard enough at the footy for my liking. A few times he allowed the ball to get out of the pack on the defensive side which resulted in Saints Inside 50s.
