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.

 

Jesus.. even at VFL the MRP are still out to get us.

That's this week's changes out the window then

Bugger.... buggger..... buggrr

Was never going to come in this week. 

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

Could've been a useful sub option.

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'

Yesterday i couldnt understand why no dees player had been suspended. Then suddenly Christian yelled out' hold my beer!!

f#*#%&###k

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.!!

He's loading for post-season, Greville Street, combat.

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.

Only needs 2 more AFL games to reach 100 for MFC……gee I hope he gets there.

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.

Expect him to be a sub twice more this year.

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.

Straight back in v pies in KC game.  🤣Suspension keeps him fresh.  🤣
