It referred the point of choosing clubs. We were his only suitor . He by all accounts wanted out. His choice was...US...or stay.

I think its relevant. No one else was making a bee line to windy hill for him, let alone throwing a 4 year contract under his nose

Jake reminds me a bit of Ted Richards, Roos and his coaching staff did a fairly good job in turning him around after he left Essendon

Welcome Jake

    I was looking on the old AFL site and noticed they had video's about the people being traded. The "get excited by" series.... Sadly Jake does not have one... But the young guy Anderson the Roo's have snared has one. He has had about 4 and a half minutes of game time, and he has one! This beg the question, where is the Jake Melksham excitement reel??

    Sad thing is that I think even Dean Gore was given a highlights reel...

    The kid can play. No doubt about it.

    Prefer him at 25 than some skinny kid at Casey for the next 18 months

    But WADA are yet to speak.

    I am worried

    There's a Jake Melksham highlight reel on the melbourne website.

    Melksham was actually a tidy player in 2013.

    Im not fussed if we get kennedy or Bugg but i thinknMelk might work out ok.

  • Quote

    People bag him for his recent form rather than the totality of his career particularly before asada wada

  • Quote

    Well, after all the large scale debate on here about value and what we should pay he's here.

    Welcome to the club Jake. I really hope you do work well with Goodwin and take your game up a notch or two after stalling at the Bombers. I can safely say that every Melbourne supporter will be thrilled if you kick on and become more than a handy depth player.

    I reckon people underestimate Melksham because he has a rude head. We are seduced by Howes spekkies. Ill put it to all on demonland that Melksham is worth more than Howe.

    Noted.

    I watched him a few times last year and he just seemed to get lost with what appeared to be a run with role. Looked ok with the ball and going fwd but got caught out often not being able to go the other way.

    Here is hoping he is up to his role and helps us get better.

    Yeah that is what I think. Without the WADA situation, pick 25 for Melksham I could live with. But taking into account the prospect of a 2 year ban, I think there are some at the club with compromised views (Goodwin) about Essendon players. The only rational explanation for mine is that the AFL have reassured clubs that they will be compensated - in the face of WADA bans to players.

    What's the difference between Jake Melksham and Dom Tyson?

    One won Cleo bachelor of the year, the other came 2nd in a smashed crab lookalike competition.

    • 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.

    • 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.
