Game Day Melb v Richmond

He slows down and looks at the ball for AAAAGES before he kicks

He looks like he's in Auskick when he's about to kick the ball. Takes the time to ensure his form is right, but doesn't seem to realize that he is under pressure, and by the time he actually kicks it there's no chance it will ever hit a target

cox playey 17 games in his first year. Jake has play 9 over 3 years (6 2010, 2 2011, 1 this year)

give him time.

I can't believe you just compared him to Cox. Fair enough, let's look at the whole story and compare them at the same age.

Grimes and Tappy done nothing? Not hearing much about them on the radio, Sylvia running at 46% but at least he is getting his hand on the footy

Let's be realistic about Spencer guys, he's probably our 4th or 5th option in the ruck, so if you want to be fair, compare him to someone who's a similar option.

In normal circumstances, the order would be Jamar, Clark (as backup), Martin, Gawn, then toss a coin for Spencer and Fitzpatrick.

He's a depth player, we need them, it would be pointless to have 5 superstar ruckmen and no money for any other players.

all i am saying is he gets a blasting all the time, buit he has played 9 games, how can we judge him yet.

i chose dean cox as arguably the best ruckman in the competition.

if jake ends up even half as good as him we will be happy.

Exactly not fair to compare them, lets try Cox and Jamar and give Jamar a hard time instead

What the [censored] is the point of a video review system if they're just going to make the wrong decision anyway? #burndownaflhouse

And what's the point of it when they have only 1 or 2 angles and can't tell anyway?! We've been robbed 3 times this year now.

They've gone over the umpires audio from that goal review, the goal umpire said he believed it was a goal, yet when the video umpire said "inconclusive, umpire's call" the goal umpire calls it a point?!!!!!!

what i am suggesting is he is not doing that bad really, for a 9 games, 3 over the last 2 years. let him have some game time, and he may surprise us and become a great ruckman

we dumped jolly because we thought he wasn't good enough. and he looks pretty good at the filth. lets not judge spencer too early.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
