Just wanted to start a birthday thread in honor of such a big important reliable part of our club, the milkshake himself, Mr. Jake Melksham!  Go get yourself a milkshake today to celebrate this birthday.

Couple of things, first of all our team would just not be a shadow of what it is leading into finals this year without the Milkshake, and that isn't just being said because of what has happened but has been a genuine thought all season before and after he made it into the best 22 (I always thought he should be in there).  He is the x-factor and provides grit, reliability, an elite kick for goal (especially the bananas), and just such a positive professional attitude and vibe for the whole team and has really made our forward line look like a forward line.

So happy birthday Jake, despite this terrible news we are all super fans of what you've done for our club this year and we know we wouldn't be where we are without you on the field.  I'm sure I'm not alone in saying that I'd love nothing more than to see you recover well and get back on the field and kick some more bananas from the boundary!!  If anyone can do it, you can!!

Also what are people's favorite milkshake flavors?  Mine is vanilla malt...can't beat it!!!  Best are those big milkshakes they used to have at the pancake parlor, haven't been in there for years but damn they were good, even if they cost you about twenty bucks worth every cent.

Get better Milkshake, we hope the footy gods smile and we see you in the red and blue once again.

Burnt caramel

More than the flavour I go for thick milkshakes. Don't like 'runny' milkshakes.

Always chocolate and the milk must be icy cold.

1.  Hints in the OP suggest that banana milkshakes is the correct answer.  (Yeah, I'm a smoothie).

2.  Did you seriously pay $20 for a milkshake @Young Angus?  

Blue Heaven of course

Happy birthday Jake Melksham!

My fave is egg flip milkshakes. Incl egg, a pinch of cinnamon, touch of vanilla ess, lots of icecream. Yum

If I recall, that’d be 2018

The Melk has learnt over his career that AFL football can be a cruel game.

The Pancake Parlour is infamous for its stupid prices, and their milkshakes are no exception.  Their milkshake is called the "swiss mountain malt" and current online menu has it at $13.90...so not quite twenty bucks but close enough to make it a very silly price.  I think you're probably paying five or six bucks for that name alone haha don't get me wrong though, absolutely great milkshake, probably should be about half the price though which goes for just about their whole menu.

 

EDIT: The only time we'd get one of these was at the 24 hour Pancake Parlour in Doncaster in the wee morning hours after a night out before heading home.

Burger in the left hand, strawberry milkshake in the right.

Haven't had a good old fashioned cafe style milkshake in a while but it has to be chocolate.

A lot of weird iced chocolates and what have you around these days. If anyone can recommend a good one in the Richmond/Abbotsford area I'll get on board. 

 

Any flavour (maybe passionfruit) but double malt and two eggs, icecream and still runny, not like these bloody "thickshakes" they have here in the States. 
Happy birthday Jake!

Lime

Lots of ice cream and lots of malt...LOTS of ice cream thick as ten bricks milkshake!!

A disappointment-flavoured melkshake laced with sadness and with a hint of despair. ☹️

I’m sure his pride wouldn’t allow it.
