Can you ask him about his goal kicking routine, and when he makes the decision to kick around the corner, and when it’s a drop punt?

 

Can you ask him what is his top 5 goals for the MFC?

I will always remember the 2018 SF against Hawthorn and his game winning goal in the last quarter from outside 50.


He looks hungry, he definitely wants that flag. Is missing out in 2021 fuelling him right now? 

Could you please ask, what is Jakes role within the forward line and how does his role differ from JVR/Chandler/Kozzie/ANB (both as players and who gives feedback/direction in the forward line)?


Maybe a sneaky 2nd question…. How annoying is James Sicily on field? 

 

Ask him if wants to be a forward coach for mfc after he retires.  He just understands the game so well. The interview after the game his comment about Sicily following the contest line and how he planned to play him was great.

Our backs seem like a real tight unit, they seem ably captained by Lever and May.  Who are the leaders of the forward unit and are our forward line a close bunch as well ? 


Good get Andy. Looking forward to the interview. Jake has been outstanding this season and has stood tall in our depleted forward line.

What has been the biggest change he has made to his game that has led to the current run of success?

would be curious to know how he found the year-long sabbatical as a result of the peptides scandal effected his mindset and future planning, given that his year-long ban was his first year at mfc

subsequently to that hibberd came in the following year - how much difference did it make having someone who had had the same experience starting at a new club have?

how did he see his transition to being a predominantly defensive forward at the mfc occurring? when he started at the mfc he was a defender / sweeper and a quasi wing before getting dropped and then switching to a forward line player; from memory the break-out game in that role was playing on johanissen from the bulldogs (in the game lever did his knee)

Well done on getting this exclusive interview with Jake Melksham, Andy! Brilliant work! 😎👍🏻

 

I would ask him if he is enjoying his new role in the Demons forward line which seems to be negating the opposition team's primary interceptor and is he keen to play on next season?

 

Furthermore, I would just personally congratulate Jake Melksham that he has now played over 100+ games for the Melbourne Demons and hopefully he can reach 250+ AFL games. I think he is getting closer to that milestone? 🤔

 

On a slightly different topic, I am still hopeful @Demonland (Andy) can possibly lure the very elusive Mark "Choco" Williams to do an interview? I would be extremely excited about that! 😃

:mahoney2:

hes a perfect examplre of a role model top football clubs need. Nobody would have him first 222 at this stage. How did he keep the fire in the belly playing at Casey for long periods ?

Does his melkshakes bring all the boys to the yard

What's his favourite melkshake flavour 🤣


Hopefully Jake will go around again in 2024, please ask him if he intends to go on next year and what are his intentions post footy career, coaching, media other.!!

Please ask him about fatigue caused by the  Carlton match and the effect on kicking for goal and short kicking for goal in the Hawks match 

thanks

The way he scored that goal showed me his character. I've admired that aspect of his personality and have had faith in him ever since.

 

My recollection is that it was his relationship with Simon Goodwin that lured him to the mighty MFC from the Bombers:

Would like to understand what it was about Simon that motivated that decision at the time and if he's noticed much change in Simon Goodwin the person and coach since his time at the MFC.  Also what is it that he's most appreciated about being a Melbourne player and part of the current playing group.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
