Jamar isn't really in the long (or short) term picture so the future of our ruck division may well be Gawn with Spencer as a serviceable back up if Gawn gets injured on losing form. So it's certainly time to think about getting another guy in one of the drafts this year to eventually replace Spencer if he develops well.

Roos has been putting a few through the works up in Sydney. I like the sound of this Cisco bloke, he's a genuinely big unit and has the smarts to record Roos on TV and put it on youtube. Nothing beats a bit of self promotion. Anyway with Roos having the inside knowledge I wouldn't be surprised to see one of these guys come on to our list as a rookie.

    I called a while ago that if Roos becomes coach expect him to sign a couple lf international american rookies. The guy is fanatic over American sports and all other sports too.

    Would both be better prospects than Spencer.

    What a list clogging experiment that has been.

    If you need a back up ruck, rookie one. No need to clog a spot on the list while a bloke takes 5 years to get the ball from hand to foot.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
