Has become a great pick-up for us!

Looking forward to three more years of that lethal left foot.

    Nothing short of a revelation since joining the Dees. Congrats to all involved.

    Still can’t believe the 55 metre goal he kicked against Whorethorn. It looked like a short pass off the boot, but just kept on going....

    Chaos for oppo backs, predictable laces out delivery to advantage for our forwards.

    Awesome to have Jake commit long term to our Demons.  Should see him into father son territory for his new arrival to qualify down the track as well.

    A good extension to go with his other successful one from 9 months ago. Get jnr onto his left foot nice n early.

    It's amazing how he's been able to capture our fanbase considering the doubt over his trade. Love him

    What a turnaround, from being treated as a pin cushion at Essendrug to now being arguably the best defensive half forward in the league.

    He and Hibberd both made very wise choices!

    I think I was pretty underwhelmed when we recruited him. 

    I might have to bump that thread for some self-flagellation.

    A sweet finish from Jake but the thing I love about that goal is Tommy flies and Melk and Hannan both put themselves in a great position to crumb, as does Spargo who outworks his opponent from the middle of the ground to get there as well. Smart team footy and a lovely piece of skill.

    As for Jake his inside 50 kicks and aerial contests as a forward have been a revelation. Not bad for a midfielder we recruited as a defender. 

    Not the ideal preseason but I wonder how much his ankle injury restricted him last year, still think he has a level more to go to with defensive work, crumbing and getting even more of the ball around the ground.

    Something I've noticed often from Spargo in particular whilst watching highlights over the summer.  He has a very, very good footy-brain.

    I was a doubter. I was okay-ish with the deal on a "buy one (Hibberd), get one free (Melksham)" basis. At games I would call out "that's the good one" when Hibberd got the pill.

     

    But turns out we got two good 'uns. It's good to be wrong!

    I know I was.

     

    Can’t remember a recruit who has surprised me more

     

    Ed. I actually think you calmed my nerves on trade, pointing out a very good season Melk had before the drug scandal broke.

    One of the great goals of 2018, completely ruined by possibly the worst commentator of the last hundred years.

     

    Gee-God-Boy-Wow!

     

    An absolute cringeathon every time this imbecile takes the mic.

    BBO can probably help you out with that

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
