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

The Dees Podcast put it up on Facebook the other day

    Thought he had a good game and got better as the day went on. Was pleased with his marking and ground level work. 

    Got smashed in the hitouts but I kind of expected it against Sandilands.

    Battled on well against Sandilands and made a good contribution. Well done Spencil.

    He played really well and I think even when Gawn comes back could hold his spot if he continues to play the way he did.

    Offers more up forward than Weideman at the moment and is a very good back up ruck.

    Really hope we use them in tandem when Gawn returns and run with Watts and Hogan as the tall forwards.

    Depending on the match ups and venue i think that is worth a try Dom. The extra tall taking a few clunks across half forward might be just the tonic and he can ruck as you say. Frees up our best ball user and most accurate kicker in front of goal in Watts a little more also.

    Congratulations Big Fella - a very sound return to AFL.

     

    Liked his inspiring mark and goal in the 4th (after JW4's equally inspiring one) -- pity the rest of the tea were not as inspired as the fans were by them.

     

    Re the fantastic tackle highlighted above - knowing the vagaries and inconsistencies of the MRP he would probably get 2-3 with an early guilty plea for a dangerous sling tackle.

    I thought he was excellent, even taking in to account the hitout diff. Sandilands is a genuine monster - once you take into account armspan he's got to have 10cm on Jake. You'd expect to lose the hitouts against Sandi - so groundwork and physicality becomes crucial. This is what the Russian did well in his strong years. 

    Jake got involved in the clearance work a number of times, filled the hole in defence and looked dangerous when forward. Couldn't ask for more in my opinion - hopefully in the next few weeks against ruckmen of a more civilised size, he can add a few hitouts while maintaining his around the ground work.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      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.
