Am happy to wait a few more weeks before I start making that sort of call.

Very bad luck for Jamar, possibly very good luck for Spencer. Or a real opportunity for Meesen this weekend.

The way i see it, Spencers a lock for round 1. I see Meesen competing for PJ's spot as that second ruck who's more of a runner.

We need a big strong aggressive ruckmen to play.

The reality is youd be hard pushed to see any of Meesen's shining star on a moonless night !!

Jamar has worked hard to aspire to being a very average ruckmen with limited side courses !!

Yep..we really need this calibre in our line up going to '10 !! :rolleyes:

Barring injury, I have no doubt that PJ will play. Notwithstanding a couple of good NAB Cup/Challenge games, I don't think he's in any danger of being replaced by a Spencer/Meesen combination.

What that means with regard to Spencer and Meesen may very heavily depend on what happens this weekend against a pretty much full-strength top 4 side.

I can see Spencer assuming the #1 ruck this year and PJ playing a more of a ruck come follower ( as it were ) role. There is far more flexability with PJ compared to Meesen or Jamar; many more aspects to his game that can be called upon in a game.

were actually starting to look a bit like a footy team :) TGFT !! lol

How does one source the sauce and effect an affect without adversely causing many to be averse to the result.

We often err only to have others air aloud to what is allowed. Some place content upon the alter whilst others are content to alter to suit. I'll happily allude to an illusion if only to ellude an allusion.

So I assure you I will endeavour to ensure that I make right my words as I write to insure its based in fact to complement before being baste before all in lieu of compliment !!

Write as you will !! :) Its not the end of the world !! ;)

That would make sense for most other posters, but I don't see Rhino as your typical forum geek with the associated 'speak'. :lol:

<_<

I have picked up two internet "words" in the years on here.....

sauce = source

loose = lose.

Are there any more? :o B)

Agree.

ATM, whatever limitations PJ has, PJ beats Meesen pants down in the ruck and definitely around the ground.

True. Especially when yours is riddled with errors too!

I just found it ironic to point out someone else's spelling error with one of your own.

Not sure I agree with this one. Its not 'internet speak', merely a typo, laziness or ignorance.

Didn't know about the 'sauce' though, so my apologies.

Agree.

This I most definitely agree with.

From what I’ve seen so far this year in the practice matches, Spencer will be an asset we did not expect especially at this early stage. A quote I made on 28th Feb after the Sydney game, “Spencer will be a player of the future. At the moment he needs a better footy brain. He had 2 kicks smothered from marks and some disposals went way ward or put players under pressure, but IF Jamar can improve we could get back to the days of the Twin Towers, Stynes and O’dwyer. This is a big if, but the way Paul Johnson is going there is a back up. Unfortunately Meesen, whilst in the first half didn’t get much time, he just didn’t look interested. For a guy that is being overrun by younger guys I would have thought he would have wanted to really impress.

I have a small felling that we will do far better than most expect, don’t forget, Watts and Bleese and a few others are yet to make appearances.

I agree..Spencer seems to be coming on a little quicker than many would have expected this year. a big plus..I too thought back to Stynesy and Strawbs !!

I also consur a few surpises ( pleasant ) are yet in store for us as the year unfolds.

Be a foolish team that takes us too lightly this year :)..a bonus for us :)

AWESOME. The footy gods are finally listening to me. What a great week. We finally have a sponsor (sort of). Spencer is now on our list and that clown Sylvia has lost the plot again fingers crossed that he won't be in the side RND 1 he definately doesn't deserve a spot the sooner he gets the ass the better.

If someone could have put Sylvia on the long term injury list while he was out after hours. We might have been able to elevate Valentie aswell. A lot more deserving than Sylvia!

Spencer and Valenti IN.

Jamar and Sylvia OUT.

I meant major sponsor we still need another one. So they suspended him for nothing did they people have been saying that he will show something for the last 5 years but he hasn't and his attitude seems to get worse and worse we are better off without him I would rather see Jetta or even Newton get a game ahead of him with the exception of Meeson I would rather see anyone get a game ahead of him.

"However, Notman did confirm that ruckman Mark Jamar had been placed on the long-term injury list while he battles to overcome a stress fracture in his foot.

His place on the main list has been taken by Jake Spencer who has impressed in the pre-season and is in the mix for a round-one ruck berth.

Jamar was placed on the long-term injury on Thursday last week and must remain on that list for a minimum of eight weeks. It means the earliest 2009 match he can play is in round seven."

RIP Meeson :o

Great news for Jake, not so for John.

And all round good news for the club as it will probably make Jamar even hungrier when he gets back, if Jake performs in his absence and it should keep PJ honest too.

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.
