This time last season the majority call was for him to be desisted. 

Now he's a saviour ,like Petty!!

 

 

Melksham did actually show a solid 10 or so week block of good form last year that gives us some reason for confidence in his ability when fit. Whether his body is up to it or not remains to be seen though. 

 

At the very least Melksham is a professional forward and natural goal kicker, which is exactly what Petty and Turner are not.

He will add something to our forward line if his body holds up.

My guess is that he'll return for round 18 V Essendon (13 July), after 2 VFL hit outs.

 

The longer Melks is out the better he is, it seems. Starting to remind me of the whining when we believed Junior had lost too much pace and let him go. It was the right decision in hindsight, but the moaning was significant.

I hope Melks can come back for a couple of games but if he can replicate any earlier highlights, I will be happy to be wrong.

 

 

Reckon training might be at Slithera Park Thursday and if so I might be a chance to rock up!

When I was last at training, six weeks ago, he was moving and kicking sweetly. Looked ready to go then so hopefully he is only a few weeks away now.

Given Melksham’s reported professionalism with his preparation of his body, I’d be unsurprised if he was elevated straight into the seniors, perhaps as a sub.

Yeah I have never doubted his value.I was referring to the regular  calls for his delisting until the same folk suddenly decided he was valuable. 

Petty seems to be getting a version  (reversed) of the same nonsense 

Play Melk up forward and Petty down back  and stfu is my theory.

TMac stays back until its over.

Very excited by the prospect of Milkshake returning soon. Done an incredible job to get back ahead of schedule, can see the steely determinationin in his eyes. Could do with the extra determination and tenacity on the field right now.

Fingers crossed

Yes, that happened over a few seasons, posters kept saying he only got a game because he either had photos of Goody or that was a mate of Goody. 

Those same posters were made to look a bit silly up until he was injured.

I'd be incredibly surprised it that was the case and it would be plain stupid by the club.

Anyone that has missed a year with a knee injury would know you need definitely full match practice under your belt before you're at maximum level.

Melksham will need a number of weeks at Casey for not only match conditioning but also to get form. 

Some are forgetting that he's nearly 33 and at the wrong end of his career coming of a 12 month injury. Highly unlikely we'll see his best again especially with the way our forward line is functioning which has been sub par.

We are now relying on a 33 yo, semi regular player, coming back from a long term acl injury. We see more desperate than I thought

No, apparently they've all be sent to the shops to buy some f@#ks. Because a few players clearly had none to give on Sunday.

Correct- on the money!

Training NOT at Casey today🤔

Ned Kelly look a like

He could kick a torp a country mile.

Blight ,Baker and Keane were huge kickers.

AFL players can barely kick 40m+.

Baker was probably only on about 15-20k per season.

Pretty sure at the time of his injury he was more than a semi regular player, much more.

Could somebody please let Picket Fence know that they’re training at Casey tomorrow morning at 9:30am. I’d tell him myself except he’s now got me on ignore. 😁

Ok, thanks WCW. The reason I ask is he copped a shot in the back on Sunday whilst on the ground. Looked at the time like he tweaked his shoulder slightly. Hoping he's all good.

No free for in the back though.

  • 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.

    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

    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.
