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

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

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!

Ding Dong Belly LTI too...

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.

You'll change your mind this year.

He's better than Valenti was.

He's better than Valenti was.

In your opinion.

And mine.

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.

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.

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.

In your opinion.

Is it really necessary to point out it's his opinion? That is surely obvious to anyone reading.

Besides, I thought it was pretty clear he was just winding you up

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.
