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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

    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.
