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: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.
