The MILKSHAKE thread...favorite flavor?

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.

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

    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?  :blink:

    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.

    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!

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

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
