Amused by some and their change in original stance now that Melksham will be wearing red & blue.

Predictable.

    I didn't want Melksham, I have never rated him all that highly but he's here now so of course people like myself are going to (at least try to) support him.

    Great pick up Dees.

    Pick 25 (30 after academy picks) is cheap for a 24 yo - 115 gamer.

    I think people are over rating draft picks. Not even the #1 pick is a certainty.

    Jake will be in our top dozen players every week and will push our fringe players. M Jones, Michie, Grimes, Newton etc

    He also has a little mongrel about him. Extra points for decking Jackson.

    Would you prefer constant whinging about it?

    Melskshams the kind of bloke you despise if hes the opposition, but worship if hes in your jumper. Anyone with aggro is a welcome addition, and I hope he puts his boxing skills to good use against Howe on queens birthday.

    He chose our club when most others wouldnt. (regardless of money/contract etc)

    Get around him.

    Welcome Jake.

    so how many suitors did he have ? remind me

    Obvious to say that when he's at his best and playing with confidence, he's a valuable player.

    Clearly Goodwin and McCartney believe that he can get back to playing like that with some simplified roles and a new environment.

    Melksham isn't like Michie, Newton or Riley. He's a previous top 10 pick who's played a whole season (2013), in a manner that validated why he was a top 10 draft pick.

    Let's get him playing at that level again.

    Welcome Jake.

    Irrelevant as far as im concerned.

    Now wearing our jumper so i will support him till his performances say otherwise.

    All a bit *meh, but im prepared to give him a shot before pouring on the hate.

    As an aggro type (apparently), anyone in the current playing group he's rubbed up the wrong way?

    If there was none of that, it wouldn't amount to the amusement.

    It referred the point of choosing clubs. We were his only suitor . He by all accounts wanted out. His choice was...US...or stay.

    I think its relevant. No one else was making a bee line to windy hill for him, let alone throwing a 4 year contract under his nose

    I think we showed our cards way too early and gave the drug cartel too much negotiating power. We should have just weasled him into the PSD if anything. In saying that if the milkman is a reg starting 22 and this draft is as weak as everyone says, then 25 is worth noting anyway.

    I know a few Essendon fans who disagree.

    So you admit he had a choice. My point exactly. We are apparently throwing piles of cash up in the air to attract anyone who wants to grab it, and everyone else so far has said "no thanks". Here is a bloke who didnt say that.

    I repeat.....

    Welcome Jake

    It's been reported that the club has ordered Jake to live in Jacks spare room as a mentor and they are to spend 3 nights a week doing some wrestling sessions in the basement as part of the 400k over 4 year deal.

    Welcome to our coaching staff Jakey, let's hope the ferocity rubs off

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
