Good article on Jake about his year out and the change of scenery to the Dees.

Anyone else absolutely love the Melkshake?

Hitting the scoreboard again (6 goals in 2 weeks), and his field kicking is elite.   

Loved seeing him put on  a clinic against his old team.  They could definitely use his toughness, professionalism and kicking ability.

    A very good low possession game.

    3 brilliant passes which led to goals and also kicked a couple himself.

    Played really smart today and used his body well. Blocked and tackled perfectly.

    And he manned up one on one against Rance on Anzac eve after half time and beat him. A very valuable player after a bit of a slow start to the season.

    Dunstall raved about his game and on TV you can see a lot of the team work he did.

    Been very good the last two weeks.

    Has a great long kick on him. He is damaging if he has the ball kicking into forward 50. Rarely wastes it by foot.

    I was a knocker, but the last couple of games have changed my opinion. Well done to him.

    One of the ABC commentators I think said that Melk and Hibberd were rejects from the drug lords:  I would see them as escapees or refugees.  Both are doing a great job after a quiet start to the season.

    Absolutely agree. Both wanted out of Essendon after that fiasco and both are hitting their straps and regaining that 2017 form. Important cogs in the wheel.

    Drugs Lord did not want to get did of Hibberd, Milkshake not sure, i think his best and worst are schizophrenic, and they were frustrated.

    Enigmatic type whose worst and best can be a long way apart.

    Perhaps a tweaking of his role has helped or could be just form?

    Most Bomber supporters were happy to lose Melksham but not Hibberd.

    The general view with M was as per Stretch's comment that his worst and best were a long way apart. His inconsistency and brain fades frustrated Bomber supporters to the nth degree.

    Melk has been more consistent since coming over. His starts to the seasons have been slowish but gets better as the season progresses.

    He was great yesterday, his field kicking was brilliant.

    lets hope he holds that form

    General feeling from the Peptides is we paid overs for Melksham and unders for Hibbo

    Shows you how much they knew....Ha Ha

     

    My opinion for a while is well known. Now i will add that he, Melksham is a leader in waiting. His analysis is measured and rational.

    "They [my teammates] are all really good but one today was probably Jake Melksham he was always barking at me, in the right way, letting me know when to stand and helping me out a fair bit. Always keeping me composed and helped me if I ever needed anything today," he said (Charlie Spargo)

    Also great Leadership from Jake.  The defensive forward role suits him big time!

    • 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.
