as i watched in horror yesterday seeing us get belted i also noticed how jeff white was getting killed by that dud simon taylor? seriusly white is finished! white is only 195cm tall and is pretty much the shortest ruckamn going around. i thought when was the last time we had a bloody ruckman that was over 200cm tall? then i thought of jake spencer who is 204cm tall. i read in an article that he is a very aggrasive ruckman who is hard at it. also has a big motor two. bit like dean cox or jamie charman! could spencer one day take over reigns of jeff white? i mean i kno he will need a couple of years to develope but we are in need of a seriouse tall ruckman! and i think if spencer develops right and gets a good hitout for sandy this year what are the chances we could give him a shot in the big time? forget abot van shaick or neaves.. im more excited about this bloke?

thoughts?

Thoughts? Get him in. These kids are our future, get games and experience into them playing on A grade AFL players, its pointless to give games to players like Yze & White they wont be around for a premiership for Melbourne.. and thats really all that matters isnt it?

Natanui :rolleyes:

 

Spencer played with Sandy reserves yesterday along with Tom McNamara,Kyle Cheney and Trent Zomer...

He didn'r dominate but he showed plenty of potential.....the diference in skill level between Spencer and Van Schalk from a couple of years ago imho is huge...Spencer moves well...has a bit of pace....watching Van Scalk run was like watching the QE2 berth at Station Pier..

For a rookie of his height I hope Melbourne persist with him....I'm hoping we'll see him in Sandy seniors at some stage this year

G'day Zebraman, thanks for the insight.

Could you please give us a brief rundown as to how the other Dee's players went for Sandy yesterday ?


Natanui :rolleyes:

Natanui is 196cm tall...hope he grows a couple of cms.

appaz has a huge leap, and dominated Kruiser in the ruck (who is 199.5cm) by jumping a foot over the top of him

Playing an 18 year old kid, low draft pick, as raw as he is, is the stupidest idea yet.

We're rubbish at the moment, but how will a teenage kid make the difference. PJ looked ok for us. White will have these weeks. Meesen hasn;t gotten a game yet, but will. And while Jamar is a Dud we have two other ruckmen who are our starters with White who are in dire need of game time. Spencer needs a few years at least at Sandy.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • 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.
