I think Spencer is the 22nd best player available.

    Though Weideman does not have a developed key-forward's body, he does do a lot off good work off the ball with his blocking and leading patterns; for me, he plays round one. He has the pace and agility to trouble Brown and is such a proficient kick, he only needs a couple of chances to hurt the opposition.  

     

    What you are really saying is that you would play him if he only had 2 kicks and got 2 goals? I don't think he is ready and would much rather have Pederson. The Weid is the future but he just isn't ready and we would be playing a man down. Cam also has some versatility as he can play ruck or in defence if necessary.

    It's not about liking Spencer, it's about liking two rucks to allow Gawn to rest forward and so as to not completely run him into the ground.

    Gawn had one of his best games in rnd 21. He's very fit. I think the real challenge is either Pederson or Watts to take the backup.

    Well, that's not really what I'm saying and if you're looking for a four quarter contributor, then Pederson probably isn't the man either.  I like Pederson, but he does drift in and out of games and the last time I recall him playing key defence was under Neeld.

    I was more making the case for Weideman over Spencer, as preseason selections seem to indicate that's the way the match committee is looking too.  So with that in mind, and using your example, then yes- 2 goals is more than what Spencer would provide us.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
