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.

The figurehead of our Chaos football brand.


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....

Another three years of kicks like this one....absolute gold.

 

Well played

That'll get him over the 100 game mark ;)

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.

Well done Milkshake looking forward to watching you provide us with another 3 years of great football.

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

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
