How do we fit him in on the list without a long term injury and with auto uplift not available until the middle of the season?

If we don't have a long term injury by round 4 I would be pleasantly surprised, if we do then we get to see some more of him.

Win-Win situation.

Who is going to ruck in round 1?

PJ is a definite

Jamar is little chance due to injury

Meesen is just terrible

Spencer is on the rookie list

I am even more worried about our ruck situation than normal

We're not having a tilt at the finals this year. Slow and steady wins these races. I expect Bails to allow Spencer to furhter refine his craft for a while inthe magoos then use auto elevation mid year to bring him into the line up. If an injury causes a vacancy ...so be it.

Am not overly concerned in this matter. He be up and firing well before 2010..so its all good really :)

I have seen Jeff White running around the streets up here in Brisbane around the bayside area as he is now playing for Redlands in the QAFL. Next time I drive past I could yell out and see if he'd be keen to go back home? Funny thing is, is that he looks fitter now than he has the last 2 or 3 years at the Dees.

Jamar has not played one practice match and Meesen was apparently very poor again on friday.

Our ruck selection for the opening game is looking interesting.

Stefan Martin might be the short term answer. He came to prominence as a ruckman in the ammos.

We're well off for key backmen, and I can't see Garland, Warnock, Rivers and Martin all being selected for round 1, unless Martin is played as the 2nd ruckman. It wouldn't surprise me if he was a better ruckman than PJ.

:) That's a nice way of looking at it. Not having an LTI by round 4 would definitely be nice. But I see it more like this:

Who is going to ruck in round 1?

PJ is a definite

Jamar is little chance due to injury

Meesen is just terrible

Agreed. I like mo's solution:

Stefan Martin might be the short term answer. He came to prominence as a ruckman in the ammos.

We're well off for key backmen, and I can't see Garland, Warnock, Rivers and Martin all being selected for round 1, unless Martin is played as the 2nd ruckman. It wouldn't surprise me if he was a better ruckman than PJ.

Definitely an idea that will be considered. But, if Martin does ruck, what happens if/when Spencer is ready to play? Do we go with PJ and Spencer, which leaves us with the plethora of defenders? Or do we not play PJ?

I would say if we had any intention of playing Martin in the ruck in rd 1 then Martin would have played in the ruck at some time in the practice matches. I would say next week against the bullies will be more or less our round 1 line up. If Spencer plays then I will assume they have a plan to get him on the list sooner rather than later.

The only way for Spencer to get on the list sooner than later is by a player going onto the long term injury list which means the player in question has to be genuinely injured and would have to remain on the lti until at least round 9 i.e not even a game with the Scorps (or even school footy for that matter). Robbo wants to play in April, Jamar has a toe injury, Wheats a calf, Aussie has a hammy and McNamara and Maric are back in training. We don't have any options ATM.

Does anyone know when Jamar will be ready to play? If he's not ready I would like to see Miller in the ruck he's done it before and was reasonable. I want to see Martin play on Hale. Considering the year we had last year I can't believe that we will more likely debut no one and 2 in form rookies in Spencer and Valenti can't find a spot on our list.

Why would we have used pick 17 on him when we could have just elevated him off our rookie list before last years draft?

I'd be disgusted if our club was thinking along those lines

The latter is hypothetical; the former is a non sequitur. We would not have used pick 17 if we wanted Spencer, we would have elevated him and cost ourselves Pick 1 in the pre-season draft - Liam Jurrah.

Or our last pick in the National Draft - Bail if my memory serves (which I doubt)

We passed on our last pick in the draft; this enabled us to have a pick in the pre-season draft. Barry Prendegast has stated, after the event, that we would have taken Bail no matter what. This leaves us with the only option that fits the discussion - Liam Jurrah.

I wouldn't.

i wouldn't use a pick 17 on spencer. iffy on 35 too.

jamars a nick smith away from returning. spencer can't play as no one's qualified 4 LTI. I like to see Stef concentrate and nail down a spot. don't like youngsters (in experience) thrown around. Who's left. It's Meesen time.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was
