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: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
