Spencer has been an understudy to two All Australian ruckmen, can't see him letting this opportunity pass him by.

You mean to get another lesson from an AA ruckman in Sanderlands?

I'm glad he will get a chance. I hope Spencer goes well, it could lead to a #1 ruck role at another club next season if he goes well.

Our ruck stocks would be in serious trouble if that happened.

I actually have a lot of faith in big Jake. My biggest fear is that he gets injured or suspended... if he goes down in the next 12 weeks we are truly cooked. 

A true Demon pessimist.

Give the guy a go.

The printed piece had The Fan part moved to a separate coloured header, but both printed and online are clearly not presented as 'this is serious (journalism). mum'.  Filler for public holiday publication.

Looking forward to Spencer getting further AFL game conditioning.

I am sure Jake got a good laugh out of it

8 years for 38 games. He is a lucky man to even have a chance...

A #2 Spencil and a dream can take you anywhere.

Anyone got the gif of Spencil rag dolling that guy in the VFL from a year or two ago? That was a classic tackle!

Due to certain happenstance, I have met Jake a few times since he started at Melbourne.

1, He is a lovely bloke.

2. He loves Melbourne and is very committed.

3. He has improved and developed every year and is a far better player than many on this site give him credit for.

4. I predict that over the next few weeks he will have many people eating humble pie.

5. GO JAKE!!!!

I agree, and I also think it's a bit of a cop out to

our midfield to say they're only good because of max, we have a strong and deep midfield who will adapt and compete I still expect us to win the next three games

If we are fair dinkum we should.


On a dirty day, Big Spence was a shining light. He was never going to win the hit outs but competed very well, snagged a few goals and took some solid grabs. If only he played last week when Max went down, we just might have won.

Rapt for the big fella, deserves a good crack at senior footy.

That was as tough an ask as you could get for your first game back, but he did admirably.

He is such an improved player from the uncoordinated beanpole that most just assumed would be spat out after a couple of years.

Now that Sandilands is out of the way, it will be interesting to see how he goes against "normal" ruckman, like Nankervis, McEvoy, Leuenberg etc.

A great workhorse effort by big Spenc. Couldn't have asked for more.

Was fantastic to see the big Caveman take a few good grabs, snag a couple and be very solid at centre bounces against that hideous mutant. Well done, fella.

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
