WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB – JAKE MELKSHAM

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

    Goodwin: "What are you, 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.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
