It was another season of highs and lows from Melksham who found himself on the outer at the wrong time of the season and missed out on action in the finals.

Just an observation: the very first thing I noticed when I joined DL was how maligned Melks was by many posters here. It jumped out at me. And really mean things were being said. Unnecessarily nasty.  I couldn’t understand why. (Still can’t, tbh. Especially since I’m a big fan of his.) Anyways, as I said, just an observation. 

I think that Jake still has some good games left in him and I hope that he makes it to his 200th and beyond, he was a pivotal player in our 2018 campaign.💕❤️💙

 

Jake has some elite AFL skills which are clearly highly valued, but to an extent, these are offset by flaws in his game which don’t reflect our demanding game style.  He must be well aware of the adjustments that he needs to make to regain a regular spot in our best 22, and the ball is squarely in his court.  He’ll be pushing uphill against an array of younger talent, but I’d love to see him earn it!  If he does, he will make us an even better team!

Melk played some great footy for us but his form dropped off particularly in 2021. 

Despite this he seemed to have a charmed life & kept getting selected & this grated on supporters. If he wants to play he needs to get more touches & especially make more tackles.


Bit like the kid whose school report said "Could do better" or "needs to work harder".

Of course, school reports don't say that type of thing these days!!

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
