On the back of my success with the Luke Parker hype thread, I bring you my next Nostradamus moment:

This kid is a gun. Was he good in the intraclub? Yes. Wasn't TDL better? Yes, and?
Did I confuse him for Hewett more than once? None of your business.

Avoid embarrassment and get on board this unstoppable steam-wagon now.

He does look a little like George Hewett

Sounds like a pretty good selection. This year at least one of X.Richards, Aliir, Melican or McLaren really needs to step up as I suspect by the finals in 2015 one of them will be in the best 22, or at least will be needed in the best 22.

I have an automatic distrust of any male that is good looking. I assume they have made a deal with the devil at some point and are naturally evil :p

Hopefully he made a deal with the devil to be an unbeatable key defender for us over the next 10 years! :thumbsu:

The Melicopter would be so painfully poor to have as a nickname. I sincerely hope a Swans player is watching this thread so they can adopt it quick smart.

I like these rookies doe. Melican, McLaren and Newman. I reckon all three are going to be around for a while.

I would be the most trustworthy guy in existence then.

Oh and all aboard the Melicopter for the joyride
