Hardly a surprise at this point, but Jake is going around again!

EDIT:.....And apparently TMac is as well!

Good stuff.... 👍

 

Happy Seinfeld GIF

👏 👏 👏🥳👏👏👏


Wise decision.

Apart from anything else, he’s very affable and eloquent, and an obvious forward line coach moving forward

T Mac as well. Great news for both veterans 🔴🔵

Interesting decisions for a club without a Senior Coach. It restricts the next coach's plans...unless the decision has been made as to who the coach will be and he has agreed with the decisions.

Pfft, and we’re that terrible club that nobody wants to be at. Turns out Nibs is the only one who’s gone and even then he didn’t want to leave, he had to. He left reluctantly. Believe what y’all wanna believe but Tracc didn’t wanna leave, nor did Clarrie.

Oh, and Fritta. He loves the MFC. Has said all along the only way he’d leave is if he’s booted out. He doesn’t wanna be anywhere else.

My thoughts exactly. Same with letting Chocco go.

  • Demon Jack changed the title to Jake Melksham and Tom McDonald Sign On For 2026

I'm very happy with Tommy Mac getting another year, and okay with Melksham getting the same.

However, I don't understand why we always rush into locking away veterans and rookies prior to the trade period, and I especially don't understand doing it when there is no coach in place.

It significantly impacts our options in the trade period and in the drafts, so we end up with sub-optimal situations like taking Johnson in the national draft when he could have been a rookie.

Ummm. I read and don’t often post and I have NO recollection of saying we are a terrible club.

two of our better performers this year; take away the age factor and it is a no brainer. Melky provides an x factor up forward and TMac was the most consistant defender of the big units all year (inexplicably dropped halfway through the season)

I’m not referring to you and I apologise for seeming to. I’m talking about the widespread belief that we are steeped in bad culture issues and that no one wants to be with us.

These days players who are professionals and look after their bodies can play well into their 30's

Melksham was our best fwd for the year and is hardly tall. He could go around for a couple more

And T Mac is consistent and reliable.

Even if they have to play some games at Casey they should be in the 45, no question


Barring anything unforeseen (eg. injuries), the first three rounds of 2026 will see some huge milestones:

Round 1: Tmac 250 games & Salo 200 games

Round 2: Melky 250 games

Round 3: Maxy 250 games

I am pleased to see Tmac and Melksham go around again. They are two of my favourite players but it just highlights how bare the cupboard is that there are no youngsters on the list to challenge their positions.

Demon Army got some work cut out for them

2 veterans who held the fowardline and backline together this year. Good to see they will be there in 2026. Sadly it does show how poor our younger KPF's and KPB's are.

Excited! Okay they are "old" (hahahaha, wait til they are pushing 60) for footballers but I thought they might go round again because there was no immediate retirement notice. Tmac is playing better than he has in years. I guess that lisfranc injury takes a solid year or more to get over. (Which might be the case with Fritta too - he had the same didn't he?)

Spot on JCB.

The 30s aint what they used to be!
Great to see two players going round again after very solid years.

Awesome news. The young kids will learn a lot from these 2 great clubmen and ultimate professionals.

I’d like to see Jake offered a coaching role (forwards) while he is still playing.

  • Demonland changed the title to Jake Melksham & Tom McDonald Sign On For 2026

I’m more than happy with these decisions. The ‘on field’ contributions of players have been great this year, and I have little doubt that they are strong ‘off field’ contributors as well. They’ve earned their opportunities.

Further, their experience going forward will be invaluable for both our younger players, and the new coaching team, regardless of whether they are playing with the big boys, or at Casey.

  • 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.
