Does anyone know when these two were promoted from the rookie list?

And who they replaced?

I hope I don't put the kiss of death on either of them but, I reckon they both have a good future at the club.

Was particularly impressed by McKenzie at the bummers practice match a few weeks ago: the kid seems to have a bit of agro about him and he regularly found the ball.

And I remember Spencer throwing his weight around early last year as well.

Here's wishing them well for the season!

    They were promoted in the same breath as being selected.

    We'd have Tapscott, Gawn, Jurrah & Morton all on LTI so there's plenty of spots for them to be elevated to.

    If he gets the chance, Jordie can play 200-250 games with us and Brock will be all but a memory.

    I don't know if big Jake will make it or not however I like the fact that the club has selected him. He apparently does everything right at training and gives 100% out on the ground.

    I reckon we have a couple of more talented but potentially less committed blokes who need to take heed of what is going on with Mckenzie and Spencer.

    I like Spencer and he's a big unit.He should be able to cause a bit of interference to the opposition teams.One current fault IMO is that he goes to

    ground a little bit too much for a big bloke ,however he is still a very young player.

    Hope he does well!

    Connolls will tell anyone who'll listen that Jordie's a 200 game player. He singles him out quite specifically.

    Aha! I knew someone in the FD had a similar opinion of the kid.

    In fact Cuddles will go as far as to say 300+ games IIRC.

    He's only listed as 4-5 weeks so he wouldn't be on LTI. I also note that Cale is 6-8 so it may just be Jurrah, Tapscott & Gawn on LTI.

    Still, there's only two rookies worth promoting so it's all a moot point.

    I don't see the love for McKenzie, he's not bad but 200+ game player?

    You'll change your mind this year.

    Im a bit with Clint...by no means writing him off, but I haven't seen anything that has me expecting him to play 200+ games.

    Same goes for Spencer.

    he is gunna be our version of daniel cross but with better footskills!

    In your opinion.

    And in the opinion of everyone at the football club that matters :)

    i like the look of jordie, seems a likely type and could play quite a few games. but anyone suggesting 250+ games, or even 200+ games is being rediculous. only 23 players have played 200 for the mfc, and only 6 have played 250. im hoping he has a good career, and as a rookie i'll be stoked if he gets 150.

  • Quote

    I'll be stoked if he plays in a flag, regardless of if its his 20th or 300th game. As long as its with us.

    That's that then. Has he also said this group of players will win a flag? If so, we can quit worrying ;)

    On a serious note, there a bunch of mids I'd rank ahead of McKenzie at the moment, but I haven't seen much of him.

    I also don't necessarily see all the work that goes on within a stoppage, so if he's going to be an inside player maybe his strengths are less obvious than some others.

    I've heard he's a nice guy and the fact that he agreed to stay on the rookie list so we could have another pick in the national draft was impressive, so it's good that he's being given the opportunity to earn a senior spot for 2011.

    He's only listed as 4-5 weeks so he wouldn't be on LTI. I also note that Cale is 6-8 so it may just be Jurrah, Tapscott & Gawn on LTI.

    If one of Newton or Hughes plays good footy with Casey I wouldn't be surprised if they also got some AFL games, given our forward line.

    I like the way Mac K attacks the footy.

    he IS a hard tackler,just what is required.. some grit & hardness.

    Hoping he has a good year,something to build on for next year.

    Spencer could turn into a surprise packet resting up forward. The more games under his belt will determine his best role.I'd like to see him and Jamar rest in a forward pocket for a spell,before hitting the pine.

    Agree re Spencer/Jamar- I think Spencer will start in the ruck and Jamar at full forward. And McKenzie reminds me of a developing Ling type.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
