Jake Spencer



Recommended Posts

Has never played a good game. Is an absolute liability in the ruck and even worse around the ground.

Surely knowing Jamar may have been sore it would have been a better option to play Cook, have Martin ruck with relief from Dunn or Sellar.

I know Cook is only just starting to get consistent games in and develop his body and they don't want to gift games but this is just ridiculous.

Spencer is just horrendous.

Dumb thread.

ill be dissapointed if Cook is thrown to the wolves this year.

We arent going to be winning any flags this year, Spencer got his run, no big deal.

Least Neeld gave him a crack.

On todays game, Couch will get his turn, now Magner seems to of stagnated.

What is there to develop?

I normally am not one for potting players but he is easily the worst player I have every seen at an AFL level.

What is there to develop? I just can't see anything that makes me think this kids can make it. Am I missing something?

Reckon Magner is just worn out, he's been worked into the ground this year, needs a chop out

A couple of weeks ago some on here were giving that mantle to Sellar. If he is going to make it there's no sense in playing him at Casey, if he's not then let's see what he's got.

I'm sure Cook would have been the difference today; big mistake not to play him. Tongue in cheek there for those that think I'm serious.

Robbie, just think it is a bad throw back to the early rebuild days of just giving games away.

I don't see how he can be anything other than a tap ruck man, he just seems utterly incapable of having any feel for reading the game. This can be taught at Casey, can't see how he will learn it at an AFL level.

We were hamstrung all day by his selection from the first bounce, there is nowhere to hide this bloke.

Yes, very harsh on young Spencer. Give the kid a chance! Gee, am I glad our selectors aren't as short sighted as Grandson of a Gun.

We need to find out who can and who can't play as this year is a write off; he's been on the list for about 4 years or more and if he can't play then we will delist him at year's end but we need to know exactly what he's capable of, or not.

We don't have many tall's available and there was no one else to play.

Grandson of what gun

A missed directed shot

Spence was OK today and had a dip

More than can be said of more than half the team

who is the Grand dad anyway, I am sure he would be horrified in your totally harsh and unreasonable assessment

i spent years bagging Bate and Miller, listening to the experts with their 'give him a go' the faith was repaid with them wasnt it

if spencer ever plays a good game i will streak nude at the G

You're not even a three year member on this board yet junior! Where were those 'years' spent bagging Bate and Miller?

Get your hand off it.

I ask those who are having a go to explain why it is a dumb thread?

He has been on the list 4 years. He is behind Jamar, Martin, Gawn when all fit.

He does not regularly win or dominate the ruck duels at AFL or even VFL level.

He is immobile. He does not win the ball around the ground or even impose himself on the game.

I know he's had a knee reco however he also showed very little pre-knee.

And how is suggesting cook play being short sighted?

I agree it is gifting a game perhaps however Spencer wasn't doing much at VFL level either.

He is a liability on the ground and nothing has changed in 4 years.

Pot me if you will but produce a quality counter argument in doing it at least.

I haven't been on demonland for that long but was the same said about Russian that is being said about Spencer now? He isn't up to it now but bloody hell give him a chance. What if cook played and stunk it up? I imagine the pre first game love we have for him would have us all saying give him a chance.

Just answered your own question. Martin and Spencer were our only ruckmen available, and one of them would have to drift forward with there being no Clark.

There was no choice, he had to play.

No he didn't. Cook could have played forward.

Martin the starting ruck and relieved when needed by Sellar or Dunn even.

A permanent forward target would have been nice today wouldn't it?

    Once again the club’s top goal scorer but he had a few uncharacteristic flat spots during the season and the club will be looking for much better from him in 2025.

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.
