Congratulations to Melky who runs out for his 200th AFL game today. Thoroughly deserved, in his prime he was as good a HF connector as there was going around and always knew how to slot a long bomb or two, obviously as we've improved he's fallen away and he does lack in some areas but at his one wood, he's right near the pinnicle across the competition. All the best to him and hopefully we bring home a dub

    Thanks for kicking off this thread @Turner.

     

    Congratulations Jake 200 games is a great achievement for a modern footballer and you've put in a bunch of great ones for the red and blue.

    Jake's 2018 finals series was an absolute ripper and us winning finals that Jake was a huge part of, contributed to us building belief that we belonged and could perform on the big stage.  Kicked a great goal last week that was similar to those that got us over the top of Hawthorn back in 2018.

    Hope you have a great game today Jake and enjoy the rest of your ride with the mighty Narrm.

    A great achievement for anyone let alone those Essendon players who suffered through a year long ban thanks to their pathetic administration. 
    Go well today Melky.

    To put his Demon career in perspective:  when he joined, Salem was in his second year, Brayshaw his first and, Petracca and Oliver had yet to play a game.  He had to sit out 2016 but his impact after that is in the same category as Byrne, Vince, Cross and Lewis.  They came at a time when we really needed their respective skills and experience.  Without him would we have made the 2018 prelim which gave us the finals experience to 2021 success? 

    He has done his job for the mfc and has earnt the right to celebrate his 200th game which haven't come easy.

    Listening to the interview shows his humility and how special this is for him and his family.  Hope they all have a great day.

    85 good games and will never forget that arrogant left footer from 55 that buried the Hawks in 2018. We all know Hawks supporters (and Melbourne supporters) who thought we were going to be overrun. Melksham stopped that dead and in turn the Hawks for 5 years now.

    Could be yeah. Takes me back to the 70’s. 
    those side windows are similar to the Smokers Stand at The ‘G

    Congrats Jake on 200 games. This might be his last year so good to see him being recognized. 

    He moved to the Dees when we were just starting to build. Also brought across his mate Hibbo the following year. 


    Certainly loves a goal (and was accurate more than most) and has kicked some very good goals in the red and blue. Especially loved his sealer v Hawks in the 2018 finals.  Left foot on the run from outside 50. Hawks were coming in the last and his goal stopped their momentum.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
