What's Mitch Clark got to do with Jake Spencer?

I have no idea what "TL;DR." means. But I'm fascinated that with only four letters and two punctuation marks you still needed to edit what you wrote!

I forgot the semi-colon...

It was a reference to ht saying that we have no patience on these forums so I replied with "Too Long; Didn't Read."

It's a joke that works on many levels. Many levels!

I hope he gets picked again this week even if Jamar returns as Seller may be out, we are not going to be competing for the 8, we have carried so many players for a number of years now giving Spenc a few more games ain't going to kill us and hopefully he has plenty of "upside".

Loved Pencil's tackle on Nahas. From the stands it looked like he had swallowed him! He had a real crack yesterday and if he can improve his awareness on where to lead to and what time he will be good.

As is "dumb thread"

"dumb thread"= I have no comment to offer so better disagree with "dumb thread"

Hard track this was your opportunity.

Spencer while not setting the world on fire did look a much bigger and daunting figure yesterday than last week. He crashed a few packs and showed some semblance of a giving a contest. Enough for another week even if Jamar comes back in.

There you go Hardtrack...don't mind helping you out Matey.

Gidday Cowboy. IMO Spencer may make it. A week is a long time in Football. Admit was calling for his scalp last week. Crashed Packs, some huge tackles. Can he mark? If yes then we have found a goodun.

If it comes down to choice between Sellar Dwellar or Spence....SPENCER!

Since there was no chance of us winning yesterday I just watched what we were doing off the ball a bit more and Pencil just needs to learn when and where to lead to. J.Riv was helping him out as much as he could.I just love his efforts at the footy. At a one on one contest if he didn't get the ball he was intent to hurt the other bloke which Russian and Stef don't do. The pencil is an angry pencil.

I'd take Sellar down back and no ruck duties for him and drop dunn. Pencil in the ruck.

I had forgotten all about that comment ... I'm a contrarian :-) Well, I had posted in this thread in support of Spencer, and am glad to say I have been somewhat vindicated by his performance yesterday. If he is given the opportunity and can continue to improve, he will leave a lot of people with egg on their faces. Here's hoping.

Happy to admit saw a bit in Spencer yesterday that I hadn't seen before. Still has a long way to go but he looks like the sort of bloke that will leave no stone unturned in getting the best out of himself. Hopefully he keeps improving.

My memory was more of him already being on the scene after winning a 1 on 1 against I.Maric rather than chasing him down per se. That was why it was so pleasing, because it was a second effort thing after a big first effort.

I remember seeing Spencer in a practice match at Princess Park about 3 years ago (against ???).

He looked to be very agressive then and he looked it yesterday. (quite un-Melbourne like I must say)!!!!!

And yesterday he seemed to improve considerably as the game went on. It was good to see.

But Husain Bolt he aint! ^_^

    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.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    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.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    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.
