Doe anyone know if the Dees promoted Spencer as a rookie to the senior player list today? I was hoping that he would be in our team for Round One.

Today's deadline was for the promotion of elevated rookies for clubs who do not have veterans.
The rules allow for clubs to have either two veterans, one veteran and one elevated rookie or two elevated rookies. This is to balance the equation for all clubs (ie. making sure all clubs have the same number of players available for selection).
Spencer would need to be an elevation as a replacement for an injured player, because Melbourne have two veteran players already. That elevation can be done at any time.

Anyhow, the answer is yes.
It was confirmed at the Family Day, and subsequently in an article on the Club site.

OK Understood. Thanks guys. Good news is that we can elevate Spencer at any time....and that is terrific news , as he looks the goods by all reports.
Funny how it all works out....here we were months ago, disheartened that we missed out on Warock to the Blues. Now Warnock has a long term injury, and Spencer virtually came from nowhere.
I feel really bad for the Bluebaggers.....NOT.

I always knew Spencer had the ability, and also he has time on his side to develop. But I wouldn't say he's come from nowhere, he hasn't proven himself in a real game yet either. Hopefully he can become a solid ruckmen though, if he can cut it at the top. I believe he can. Anyone has to be better than Meeson.
