At 203 cms and 105 kgs, the same weight as Meese, who is 197cms at best, you would think Spencer would have been able to compete, yet again for the second year running in finals, as Chook said, he was terrible.

I think if someone wants him you let him go and develop King and Flip. We can use Pedo, Tom Mac and Watts in the short term as backup.

I have it on pretty good authority Meese shed quite a few kg's this year. Spencer had a weight advantage as well.

    Thanks KC, DD, Drunken67 and all other posters, sounds like big Jake has completely lost his Mojo, good to see that some of the Dee's players put in to help our Casey brethren. Let's hope that we can get over the Tiges next week and go deep into the finals. We are all saddened and disappointed by the results in 2017 and we have every right to feel gutted and down But we should't denigrate our teams so badly, we broke some hoodoo's this year and I anticipated going to the Footy again for the first time in a long time. Go Casey.........!!!

    What's our chances of drafting Fritsch?

    Pretty hard to know unless you're an AFL recruiter, but I know for a fact that the MFC players hope he gets drafted by us.

    Not only is he freakishly talented for his size, but he has great personality and the boys love him.

    Should have hidden him in the Development league once we realised his potential. Difficult to do I know. Sydney has its academy so they have their own catchment, also I guess, do Brissy, GWS, and Suns so they don't have to hide any talent, they just draft it.  We all suspect West Coast and Adelaide of doing plenty to hide or discredit local talent so we pass. No draft gifts for us I am afraid.

    59 Spencer- Possibly the worst game I've seen Jake play.. Banished to full forward/ bench/ relieving King for the last 3 qtrs after his embarrassing opening term.

    I am so over Spencer. His performance in the grand final last year was disgraceful and more of the same yesterday. Hope this is the last year he's on the list.

    Jake is a battler, amazing some on here seemed to think he would be picked up by another club this preseason as their first ruck choice. All he needed was a chance.

    The word is we have offered him another year.

    Personally I think he has got the most out of his talent but his time is done here.

    I would like us to pick an experienced ruck with some runs on the board to be backup for Max and help with the development of the kids, both ruck and mids...

    If Jake signs for another year it will be the most bewildering decision I've ever seen - for BOTH parties.  We need to develop a ruck, and Jake needs to make hay while the sun is shining.  Having him parked at Casey helps neither him nor us now, I wouldn't have thought.

    I liked Kings Game, he is a big boy and I think with another preseason and a bit of confidence he could become a good ruckman.  Outside of King, Brayshaw was really the only other MFC player that I walked away happy with and the future he will has, the rest are a long way off.

    Was Goodwin there to watch the game?

    Yes Goodwin was there, he and McCartney had a word with coach Plapp before the huddle at each break.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • 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.
