I see a certain Conan O'Brien was training with the squad today. Tall, lanky, with a fiery mop of red hair, is he our latest Irish recruit?

Who is Conan O'Brien?
Yes he's a comedian / late-night TV host. I might have jumped the gun a little by assuming that everyone knows who the hell he is.
Introducing @ConanOBrien to our game and sharing a lot of laughs along the way. Thanks for the visit Conan! #ProudlySydney pic.twitter.com/9Nwck8b3cm

Conan is huge, he helped write during the golden years of the Simpsons (he left in 93), wrote for SNL in it's peak, took over the tonight show from Jay Leno but was sabotaged. Still does stand up and hosts his own show.
He's funny in an awkward self-deprecating style and isn't your usual popular american tv host yawn fest. I'm 35 and grew up on him I guess.
Longmire talking about Melican’s importance to the side.
'We have huge faith': Longmire's praise for 20-game defender - AFL.com.au
Article says:
He is Heath Grundy's long-term successor and will also release Dane Rampe on occasion to play on small and medium types, rather than the Sydney co-captain fighting out of his weight division so often.
"Lewis will come into the team and allow others to do other things," Longmire told AFL.com.au.
"We're confident with those boys and what we'd like to do is make sure Dane Rampe's not playing on the keys every week. We think that's an evolution of our team as well.
"As good as he is on the talls, we think he's more than capable on those small forwards that are around and those changing midfielders out of the goalsquare."
Good to see that Longmire has learnt the script I sent him last year. He's got all the under 24 stats, Mills to the midfield, etc, etc. It's just like reading my old posts. I'll have to start working on the 2020 script now.
