    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.

      Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.
