Can the footy gods please break the Russian's football foot. We need Spencer in the side immediately he was awesome yesterday along with Grimes. Wouldn't mind seeing the pathetic Sylvia's OP come back so we can bring in a kid that will actually have a go in Valenti.

I dont know if that is necessary. Spencer I think has just slotted himself a semi permanent spot in the list. The Age really rated him as well.

Valenti should have never been dropped back to the rookie list.

but spencer cant play because he is a rookie right? so we will need a long-term injury or something like that for him to even have a chance of playing?

There's a new rule this year that we are allowed to promote a rookie halfway through the season regardless of LTI's. But knowing our luck we will have one in no time

Wishing injuries on our players? Worst post ever. After the last couple of years we have had, I cannot belive you would even joke about this.

agree with you 100% - wishing injuries on anyone is bad enough but on our players is even worse. i don't care whether it's a joke or not, it shouldn't even be spoken about

Apparently Meeson has a chronic heart condition, if they can't rectify the problem he may need a long lye down. :lol:

Nice to see that Big Spenny has got game.

I would love for some deadwood to be cleared so these guys could have a run. If meese really has a condition, there is no way known he will be given a jumper considering the insurance complications involved in playing him. Promoting Spenny in his place could be a good thing for the future.

As for Valenti, I am sure he ans Spencer will get a run at some stage, I can't recall a season where we have made it though without a long term injury to one of our top players.

Sylvia is hot and cold. He needs to stay fit and build some form. He still has some room to grow, and should be given every chance to even though he has the odd clunker. He is a required player at this stage.

Robbo???

Spencer played a good game. Gave the Hawks a worry or two.

As for Robbo he was at the game giving his support to the guys and signing merchandise for the fans.

I think Rhino was suggesting that Robbo might be an immediate candidate for the LTI list. Not a bad thought if he meets the criteria.

Robbo???

What are the rules in regards to putting a player on the LTI list?

Obviously Robbo is the immediate choice. If so, how long does he need to be on the list before we are allowed to bring him back??

Sub question; Who is more valuable? A youthful ruck man who has played one game well, or an aging and injured forward?

There's a bit of Strawbs O'Dwyer about Spencer. He's certainly the most aggressive ruckman we've had since O'Dwyer.

I only heard the game on the radio but Spencer sounds like a find. Especially the "grunt". Tough teams win flags and the midfield might put on a couple of inches having a big tough guy near them once he gets promoted.

The one thing I liked more then anything about spencer was taps to advantage. This was the thing I was most critical about Jeff whites games, but spencer was fantastic finding our midfielders chests at the contest. The fact that he is hard at the contest is a bonus.

Lets hope his next couple of games are just as good and hopefully that gives the club a real hard decision to make re Robbo's progress and LTI.

I wonder if there is another option..... if we can demote a veteran to allow a rookie prior to rd 1?

I don't get it. At training loads of people were saying he worked really hard but his disposal was crap. Now heaps of people are raving about him? Crossing my fingers he can build on some new found confidence.

He sounds like a parting gift from Craig Cameron. thankyou sir!

I don't think we will have to wait long for a LTI, i'm not sure how many we average a year but it feels like 5.

Newton has a Long Term Inability, does that count?

have a look at his kicking action, its a little different to the norm. I think thats what people were commenting on. But his attack on the football both at stoppages and general play was refreshing.

My neighbour who is not a dees fan likened him immediately to strawbs or more to the point "that red headed mongrel strawbs". Put a smile on my face. :lol:

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
