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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
