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.

    They're using again. [censored] druggies

    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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
