Seems rival clubs are circling Toby who is a ruckman/forward that we are desperately lack. 

Was an All Australian under 18 ruckman and can go forward and take some strong contested marks up forward and kick goals. Was impressed with him as a junior and noticed that he dominates the NEAFL quite well.

Physically ready to go at 199cm 101kg.

Could be a good cheap option for a mature(ish) ruck backup. We are listed in the article as being on the lookout for ruck depth, so it isn't a crazy thought we could land someone like Nankervis.

Of the clubs mentioned looking for a ruckman:  'Several clubs including Richmond, North Melbourne, Essendon, the Brisbane Lions and Melbourne are understood to be in the market for a ruckman' we would have to be one of the more attractive ones.  Only drawback is that he will be playing second fiddle to Max and may prefer to go somewhere where he is numero uno eg Richmond or Essendon if he really wants to be in the starting 22 each week.

if he can play as an effective deep forward he can make starting 22

good point dc.

would definitely be an upgrade on both Dawes and Pedersen as our 2nd/3rd tall forward!

Assuming one of Weideman or Hulett come on, how would a forward line accomodate all of Hogan, Watts, Weid/Hulett and Nankervis/Gawn?

Nankervis hasn't shown he can play forward. Sydney lack this type of player with Tippett out

its a no from me

Love this place. Opinions flying around all over the place with absolutely no substance to them. I have watched the games he has played for the Swans. Spencer is more mobile, a better ruckman and can play forward. He is none of these things. Can't get a game at the Swans when they were desperate for his type once Tippett went down.

No way. No story here. Move on. Would be at best a depth player if you want to flick Max King but definitely behind Spencer.

Yes, 199 is a dwarf ruckman these days.

Technically a midget ruckman I think, unless he has disproportionately short arms and legs :)

Doesn't do anything for me.

I'd be more keen on Zac Clarke for nothing as a free agent.

I'd rather take a punt on an apple over Zac Clarke.

    TRAINING: Friday 22nd November 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force on a scorching morning out at Gosch's Paddock for the final session before the whole squad reunites for the Preseason Training Camp.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
