Big man aims for big show

JAKE SPENCER is not a name well known outside Melbourne Football Club and its faithful supporter base, but the giant ruckman is looking to make a few people sit up and take notice in 2009

Dean [bailey] said that if I can get through pre-season, and he can tell that I'm working hard, then I'm every chance to play in the NAB Cup -- that's when I hope to get a chance and we'll see what happens

    This article seems to me to be a message to those people who are questioning whether we have taken enough big men in the draft. We have one that the club rates developing on our list.

    Clearly the club believes that he is a chance of making it and is sending a message to not only the supporteres but to the player himself.

    I can't wait. Fingers crossed for NAB cup game!

    I actually can't remember what his kicking is like? I don't remember it being terrible.

    I'm a huge fan of big Stef, his kicking is passable but needs more work as it looks like he himself does not trust it yet and so prefers to handball off to a more proficient team mate. The huge plus is his speed of hands and the distance he gets with his handballs...his basketball heritage coming to the fore.

    Whilst I'd imagine when there will be times when he goes forward, at the moment he looks best suited to the backline.

    Caveat: 12 months ago I though Garland was a forward. ;)

    I'm actually really excited about the NAB cup. I think we'll see most, if not all of our recruits from last year, and probably some of this year's draftees make an appearance.

    What a friggin disgrace it is that they stuck us in bloody Tasmania against the Hawks in the first round though!

    Supporters have been asking where are our tall timber coming from in the draft? Or why wasn't a ruckman picked?

    Here they are: - Stef Martin, Jake Spencer, Mark Jamar, Paul Johnson, John Meesen.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
