Just not fair. Any success we have from here, we couldn't have done it without Milkshake.

 

Shattered for Melk

Had to work his way back into the team, injuries meant he got an opportunity - and ran with it. True testament of his character and love for the club. He saved us in some really important games. Won't be forgetting the big kick win against the Lions - huge for that game and setting the season right again.

I've always enjoyed seeing him play. Super high footy IQ and an elite kick. Was looking forward to him getting the chance to take part in a premiership.

Footy is cruel sometimes. Wishing Melk a speedy recovery, and hopefully a plot twist of some more footy in the red and blue next year.

That's crushing for Melk.  He gave his all for this team.  I hope his terrible luck spurs this team onto greater things. Last game of the year.... Shocking luck. 

[censored] hell footy is cruel.

Bloke has worked his [censored] off and was so close to tasting success.

Poor fella. Hope we can keep on in some capacity. 

 

Along with everything said in this thread, all of which is true, Jake is a wonderful person. He’s humble and gentle-natured and always has time for a chat, makes you feel you’re more a friend than a fan. This is such a cruel blow. And it’s his birthday tomorrow… 😢

So sad


Sad news, but no doubt he will do what he can to help the team. Even yesterday back out on the bench, not feeling sorry for himself.

Boys will get behind him as he will the boys

I hope it isn't an ACL and wish him well.  On the flip side I don't think having him and Fritsch in same forward line works.

Had 4 goals between them prior to their injuries. Looked like it was working to me off the small sample size.

Especially since pretty much most of  Land had stopped bagging him and were pretending he was their favourite. 


feels almost like someone just died…. super sad about this. Hope the boys get around him and somehow use it as motivation. 

God that is hard to take,. These season ending injuries are so much more crushing when there is everything to play for. Only really just came to terms with Petty. 

You need these characters in a quest like this. Yes we can win without them but you almost don't want to do it without them. Shattered.

our forward line has been cursed this year. Petty, Brown, Tmac, Fritsch and Melk. And yes agree re stil getting over Petty.

I think it's a testament to the coaches and the team how well we've done given the forward line problems. It's amazing to think that in the round 23 game against Hawthorn we had only two of the seven forwards who played in the 2021 Grand Final. 

All of Jackson, McDonald, Brown, Spargo and Fritsch were missing for one reason or another. ANB and Kossie were the only two who remained. 

May not be the place to post this but do you think there AFL could have said and Luke Dunstan.

Scans have confirmed Jake Melksham and a Melbourne teammate have both suffered ACL injuries.

So devastated, really love this guy he's gotta be top five most important players in the whole team coming into finals.  Shocking luck, and in a game that didn't really matter too, what a load of [censored].  Does not deserve this.  So sad and wishing him all the best for his birthday and a hopefully speedy recovery.  Shocking stuff, love the Milkshake, always been a fan he has really galvanized the whole team this year anything that happens we owe it to him just as much as anyone.

Horrible. My heart goes out to him and Dunstan. 
Football gives and it takes away so quickly. Just awful!

Yes that is a bit rude, both of them love the game.

All they care about is clicks. It's a part of the strategy of writing headlines to covert. More clicks = More revenue.

Leaving the second part vague means more people will click the article to find out who it is (where most Dees fans would already know).

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
