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.

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
