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?

    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 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.

    • 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.
