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 ?

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.

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,

    GALLANT by KC from Casey

    The world “gallant” is not one that is readily acceptable to losing teams in our game of football so when it was used in the context of the Casey Demons’ loss to Sandringham in yesterday’s match at Casey Fields, it left a bitter taste in the mouth.  The Demons went into the game against the St Kilda affiliated Zebras with the advantage of playing on their home turf (not that this has been a major asset in 2024) and with very little else going in their favour. The Saints have close to a full

    MEANWHILE by Whispering Jack

    … meanwhile, at about the same time that Narrm was putting its feet on the accelerator to obliterate the long-suffering Euro-Yroke combination, I heard someone mention in passing that Kuwarna was leading Waalitj Marawar by a whopping 46 to 1 halfway through the second quarter of their game over in Adelaide. “What is football coming to?” I asked myself.  In front of my eyes, the Demons were smashing it through the midfield, forcing turnovers and getting the footy to their forwards who w
