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

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
