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...

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
