Young Draftes, Rookies & Smokies



Recommended Posts

i taught economics to jake spencer this year at BBC. he is a handsome, figure-gifted young man, who gets many hours of beauty sleep by constantly sleeping in class. he never ceases to attract the attention of other boys in the class though, particularly the strapping young lad he sits next to. constantly engaging in conversation, where i cant help but get the vibe that the smaller bloke is trying to be more than friends, one day hoping to mooch off of young jake.

but more on jake, a delightful prospect, a definite brownlow medal candidate for 2011, and it would not surprise me in the slightest if he won rookie of the year next year. a definite first round option.

i look forward to seeing him in the dee's footy shorts next year.

Yours truly,

I don't think you could have possibly worded that any different to the person that you claim to be.

Haha, trying to claim yourself as Peter Horeczyj, haha.

Nothing personal but when giving a sum up of a player, how bout putting something in that is actually truthful... maybe... that usually helps.

Definite brownlow prospect..... Rookie of the year..... definite first round selection..... Come on!

Firstly he has been injured and whilst he did have a couple of good games for QLD this year he is no certainty to be picked up.

He has no guarantee that he will picked by the dee's although his interview with the QLD based recruiting scout went very well.

Most likely rookie or a late pick to stop Brisbane claiming him with a rookie when they get prior selection on QLD prospects if we were to pick him up.

i have been a closet demons supporter for many decades now son, dont you try and tell me what i do and dont know. as for jake 'the snake' spencer, the opportunity cost for him to be drafted is high, particularly with interest rates rising again today and the exchange rate improving remarkably against the greenback. without some serious government intervention in the near future, the economy will continue to slide into the trenches, pathing the way for jake to unleash his massive punting potential into the realms of the nfl and further beyond.

Haha, classic....

Still not sold though...

However, I am not going to bag any fellow demon supporter so I will leave it at that.

High-quality input in any facet of the club means more than any trivial arguments over identities of anonymous posters on a supporter site.

Did you happen to see any of his games for BBC before he got injured?

who the bloody hell is number 16? do you go to bbc as well?

jake spencer is going to be the next dean cox. he has a boxing background, swiftest right hook for a left-hander this side of the nullabor, knows his way around the streets. dont be surprised if a rugby league side picks him up either, he is a phenomenal 5/8 for his size (received 1-1 coaching from thurston last holidays), more suited to the 3rd row though. also a talented basketball player, so the world is definitely an oyster at his feet.

just like the old saying goes, you might be able to outplay him, but you definitely cant outdrink him. i seen him down 4 beers in a beer-bong once, a magnificent feat, not to mention the fact that it was also raining at the time.

Yours Truly,

The Hore

Well, I'd like to personally welcome the Spencer family to Demonland but I have a feeling that with Jake's undoubted beer guzzling talents, the scum out at Collingwood might beat us to him with their first pick in the draft. :wacko:

I actually know him personally and know that he is meeting with the QLD based Dee's recruiting guy this week.

Is an absolutely top bloke. Very tall and very big.

Has been injured this year though which means we could possibly rookie him or use a late pick

wow u pulled this one pretty well No16!

good job

Like the sound of Spencer. If No. 16's comments are anything to go by, he seems to have a pretty good attitude and perhaps some leadership potential.

The fact that he was injured this year most likely contributed to him being overlooked in the national draft - hopefully we have landed a bargain.

Considering the Melbourne footy club's great record with players from the rookie draft (Robbo, JMac, Flash), I have high hopes for this young guy.

Absolutely rapt that we picked up Jake. He has a lot of develpment to go but has the mindset to be something huge. He is already big for his age and with the extra weights training and conditioning that he will recieve should form a body close to that of an Ottens type.

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
