WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB – JAKE MELKSHAM

You'd do a straight swap of Melksham for Watts?

Dear lord!

His position on this is so ridiculous that there isn't any going back so he has to stick to things like "Watts for Melksham". It's silly, I know.

    Look, in isolation, Melksham to the Dees doesn't bother me to much.

    But given the whole WADA thing i'd really rather us not go anywhere near him. Not worth the risk.

    Sam McClure is reporting that Melbourne are set to offer $400,000 a year to Jake Melksham on a four year deal.

    Personally I'm just hoping he can lift his game and hit targets if he comes because it plagued his time at Essendon.

    Sounds like he'll fit in well then

    If we are going to pay him so much maybe we can walk him in to the PSD.

    Would Carl/Bris/GC/Ess/StKilda give out the 4 year 1.6 mil deal for him?

    3rd round pick or lets find out.

    Good call - would make paying overs seem a little more palatable.

    Maybe he is going to take over the Warrnambool boxing sessions to toughen Wattsy up?

    Not a fan, he doesn't seem like he gets enough pill, doesn't look like he uses it that well and then seems to get turned around going the other way. Here is hoping he improves, is he a direct replacement for Cross role? (Not comparing them)

    This better not be the highlight of trade week. Because so far, I'm so underwhelmed I could vomit.

    So I watched his highlights. His TAC grand final highlights (in a game featuring Prestia, Wallace, Libba, Mega-head on his side and Parker, Casboult for Dandy). And the cut of his 2013 Essendon made for their B+F

    Pro's:
    Burst speed and cat like agility

    Solid left foot

    Seems to cover the ground

    Can leap at the ball and mark when out in space

    Cons:
    Bad decisions under pressure

    Kicking goes astray under heat

    Tentative in some contests

    I do think there's a role for him as part of the midfield mix, especially as he brings a burst of speed that some of our mids don't. But if we expect him to help our ball movement at all then we are kidding ourselves. He can win a bit of the ball, tag a speedy opponent and cover some ground. It's going to take drafting or some different trades to find more skilled players to move the footy.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The winds finally returned to Casey Fields for the Demons’ third home game of the VFL season, and its impact was immediate. After two opening rounds played in uncharacteristically fine conditions, the Anzac Day clash brought back the familiar gusty conditions that have been a feature of the region at this time of the year.
      Forced to kick into the breeze first, the slow-starting Demons faced a tricky opening against an enthusiastic young Tigers outfit. Casey responded by turning the contest into a scramble, pressuring Richmond into errors and missed targets. The tactic proved crucial, keeping the game tight for three and a half quarters before the Demons pulled away with the autumn wind at their backs.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      It seemed as if the whole purpose of the Anzac Eve clash at the MCG between the Demons and the Tigers was building toward that single, unforgettable moment when Kozzie Pickett soared above Campbell Gray and all but fittingly etched his name onto the face of the 2026 Frank ‘Checker’ Hughes Medal.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day on Friday night. ANZAC Eve. The big stage at the ‘G. The Demons return to the spotlight for one of our most significant nights on the football calendar, taking on the Tigers in a clash that always carries extra weight given the gravity of occasion of the commemoration of the ANZAC Spirit. Under the lights, in front of a packed house, this is where moments are made. Can the Dees rise to the occasion and deliver on the big stage, or will Richmond spoil the night? All the build-up, discussion, and in-game reactions here. Go Dees.
