Ess offer the guy only 2 years and less $$ and they want A grade trade in return.

If they truly valued him that highly surely they would better our offer!

They start with such a ridiculously high ambit demand for trades that they get far too much in return.

Given the reports on how we are handling Jeremy Howe's contract, I am confident TV and JT will not be conned!

    As I've said, we'll be laughing at their faces with demands like that. Of course they're going to begin negotiations with outlandish requests.

    They eventually accepted picks 17 and 37 for the Ryder trade, because he wanted out.

    If Melksham wants out, they'll deal appropriately. I'm also not sure why anyone would think we'd pay overs for him anyway.

    As for Greg Denham, is this the same Greg Denham that said Mitch Clarke to St Kilda was a done deal last year?

    Cool.

    Howe is a better player than Melksham and our first pick will probably be a better player than Melksham.

    Lol thank god this whole thing must be a stupid joke. First pick and Howe lol GFY with either of those requests let alone the package deal. This has been the worst start to trade period ever.

    Greg Denham just reported on SEN that the Bombers have asked for Melbourne's first pick & Howe for Melksham.

    Oh dear.

    You can only hope that with such a ridiculous request, the Dees and Dons don't get a deal done and he comes to Melbourne for nothing in the PSD.

    No problems you counter with McKenzie or our last pick in the draft, 78, or whatever it is.

    I'll have whatever the Bombers are smoking.

    Why would anyone trade for a player at risk of disqualification (however short)?

    Just doesn't make sense to do it.

    Pathetic.

    Why, for having an opinion that is a little controversial? Oh sorry, everything is awesome baa, everything is cool when your part of a team baaa. Better?

    You're allowed your opinion mate, but I'm getting increasingly frustrated with the:

    "This club is broken" (for speculated interest in a single player?? please)

    "Goodwin is a bad move" (absolutely no evidence of this whatsoever)

    "Don't arrive at the game until half time"

    "We're never getting any better"

    etc etc etc

    I know you weren't responsible for those last couple of posts, but your post was bang in line with the rest of the doomsday tripe peddled on here on a daily basis.

    One things for sure, I'd rather keep Jeremy Howe and pay him overs than pay someone like Melksham overs.

    Oh Essendon, the drugs have really gone to your head

    I'll throw in Dean Terlich to sweeten the deal!

    The funniest thing about all this, is one of my best mates is a die hard Essendon supporter. When the rumour of this broke, he texted me, and I quote:

    "Melksham- will trade for a stale packet of salt & vinegar chips. Will bring his own footy".

    If we even contemplated giving anything but scraps for this joker, then we have seriously lost the plot.

    You know the guy is crap when Essendon supporters are wanting him out.

    PSD is the way to get this guy.

    If someone else wants to match his contract and take him before us, well, easy come easy go.

    Glad someone wants Howe. Pretty sure he (Howe) would go to that "joint" as well.

    If we did that trade every draft pick from five to ten would be on suicide watch.

    Greg Denim shouldn't say such silly things in public.

    I'm thinking now that this bloke if fit could be a good get.

    Don't forget Ess are in conflagration as are their supporters.

    Jake Melksham. 4 years at 400 for Jake [censored] Melksham.

    This club is broken. Goodwin is going to be a bad move, I can feel it in my stomach. He's involvement with drugs inc. has never really sat right with me.

    Jeez, you got there pretty quick, sloonie...

    A year out from being solely in charge and the club is broken as evidenced by his signing as coach.

    And all because of Jakey Melksham...

    it could be just the break Jack Watts needs to have Melksham come in and replace him as the number one whipping boy

    Jake Melksham, already demonland's favourite Melbourne whipping boy!

    Olisik is having a real crack at the title lately.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
