Jake Melksham has been suspended for two matches (reduced to one for an early plea) by the VFL Match Review Panel for a striking offence against a Werribee player in the fourth quarter of the match on Saturday.

    We should challenge, ask them to extend it to 11 weeks and there's our midseason draft pick sorted.

    I didn't realise that Steven May was playing for Werribee.

    I'm just relieved this was only a vfl footy charge.

    Seeing the title made me think 'Oh no another off field incident'

    From memory, Melk played in the Carlton game last year and was good. I thought he was a real chance to come in this week. Oh well.

    I noticed in the Photo Gallery that a coach and trainer were holding Jake back from an altercation so I guess someone from the Werribee team really upset him.!!

    You bet! 4 goals and a punch on to Pickett for the winning goal in the final seconds of the game.

    Yeah, he did play well - someone in the miasma of AFL HQ social contacts pre-empted the memory and decided he could stand down this week. After all, Carlton are in deep horse droppings that may take a few rounds to resolve.

    Good? He kicked the penultimate goal then fed the ball out to Kozzie who kicked the winner. Yeah, he was good.

    I’d tell you, BDA. But then I’d have to kill you, and you seem like a nice person. You’re a fellow Irishman, so killing you is defs not an option.

    Good plan.  There are a few little Melksham's running around arn't there?

    From memory they probaby played with the Viney and/Or Jones kids during 2021 COVID hubs, so should be a few good future MFC stars in the making.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
