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.

    Rioli-like

    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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
