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....

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

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
