Summary:


Jake Melksham. most essendon supporters were happy that he slipped to number 10 in the draft
seen as a kid who had the skills and footy brain to make an immediate impact as far as cash cows go there were better but playing 15 games for the season made him decent backup for the 1.85% who had him


The Crystal Ball:
Based on last year's magic number


Price: $296,672
Position: MID

Will he get better in his second year? or will he get more attention?. personally i think if he can add some muscle he could be a great player for years to come. but will that be next year possibly not


Decision:


He has all the makings of a good player. But i think maybe a year or too away from seriously pulling consistent great scores.
though seeing as they are getting games into him is a reliable player but i think a little pricey just for that now

Will Melksham be selected by any coaches in 2011?

done a player that isn't a big name for my first just to make sure i do it alright

Great stuff DazBurg

Melksham well and truly falls into '2nd year player rule' for me, and won't be a consideration for me! Though McKenzie and Hanneberry are examples of 2nd years who played well.

Standard Deviation: no idea how to work this out...lol

Plug all his scores into Excel, us the formular STDEV(scores) - it is a measure of how consistent they are (the lower the better).


Very much did it right! No right or wrong way really :)

yeah i don't have excel only open office

yeah i know 2nd year rule but picked a real easy one that most won't look at just in case i done a bad job

[ossie85]

Same for open office :)

But its only a stat for stat-geeks like me

Melksham showed signs. But of the Essendon kids Howlett was the one with a more immediate future in my opinion. Of course, he'll get a bit more attention next year but he could acquit himself well.

Melksham+1 season=Second year blues.
Second year blues=no.
How I worked it out ;) Can never trust a second year player almost always burns.

[benjy251090]

howlett plays more of a run with role so shouldnt get any attention

[Justin Bieber]

Watson and Stants will get all the attention. Melks might slip on by for a little while longer.

He's shortlisted for me at that price. Has a silky kick which could make him useful in SC.

[Maca24]

no from me would prefer a draftee

[BoredSaint]

dont really like to pick players between 200k and 300k so unlikely for me

[Boomz]

Love him but unlikely..

[BratPack]

Nope. Price is just too high for what he offers
