    True, I thought it was Spencil doing the kicking for him.

    Looking only at stats:

    Doesn't take a heap of marks and very few contested marks. Doesn't kick goals, 1 for the entire year. So very much a follower type of ruckman who looks as though he can run like an extra midfielder.

    Which is probably where the game is going with the Dogs using Roughead and Boyd like extra followers.

    Does find a bit of the ball and has had some big hit out games.

    Can't say he's any worse than most ruck prospects. But doesn't look like the answer to our forward/ruck problems.

    He's quite raw but i reallly like his intent and his follow up work, and he's quite good at getting clean hands on the ball in the ruck, will take some time but in 3-4 years i think he could be an AFL standard ruckman, good selection.

     

    very happy with our other two rookies as well.

    Oops?

    I wish you'd told the FD this before the draft cos they probably don't know.  Just kidding.

    The FD obviously have a lot more faith in Pencil than many here.

    Spencil's performance in the VFL grand final justifies the lack of faith in his abilities such as they are.

    They believe in voodoo and have put a spell on Maxi so he'll never get injured again and play for 100 years.

    Otherwise no fing idea.

    • 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?
