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

  • REPORT: Brisbane

    “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

  • CASEY: Southport

    The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

  • PREGAME: Sydney

    Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
