As an observer from afar only seeing Spargo play seniors, wooooh,  this kid has it in spades.

    I love this kid. Rarely wastes it. Great peripheral vision and game sense. Tough as nails and a great side step. Incredible to think he's only played a handful of games.

    yes his kicking is reliable and decision making very good. He is a natural. I wish he had more toe but hey you can't have everything.

    Our first two draft picks last year were 29 (Spargo) and 31 (Fritsch) and both are already getting regular games in their first season.

    That's what I call good drafting.

    The impressiveness of it comes from the fact they are 18 and 21 respectively - this is not a couple of role players plucked from State leagues. They are expansive, skilful talents.

    Is a wonderful representation of how good us smaller folk can be (You 6Ft+ giants have had it good for far too long)

    Waiting for some genius to come up with ” Prince.”

    At the Carlton game a bloke a few rows behind me was calling him 'Spartacus'.

    The kid is 18 years old, his ability to get away from his man and find space around the ground and inside 50 is fantastic.

    I was in shock when he shrugged Marcus Adams off in a marking contest. Very unlucky not to grab it as it bounced off his chest, but he actually two-arm stiffed armed him over. Was incredible.

    Agree, just watched the replay of the match, Charlie doesn’t take a backward step!

    And to all those who said he was too small - phooey! The kid’s fitted in really well, he and Fitsch were really great pickups.

    Not a bad winning percentage either. I think he is 8 wins from 9 games.

    like him a lot.. looks like a player that wouldn't choke in the big moments. you'd have to have him in the team should they arise in the coming years. other teams clearly underestimate him too. its great.

    Chance of a Rising Star nomination this week?  

    My tip is Stefan Giro.

    Yep.  It will be Giro or even Matt Guelfi.

    The one thing that will keep Spargo from a Rising Star Nom is that he isn't flashy and he doesn't get a huge amount of the ball.  He just works his backside off, hits the scoreboard and does it all with minimal fuss.  Love what he brings to the side.

    It’s great to have 2 newbies in Spargo and Fritsch that know how to use the ball. Because of that they don’t have to have a zillion possessions to impact. 

    Spargo seems very focussed, concentrates and doesn’t go in for extravagant celebrations. 

    Love watching Charlie and Bayley play. Great recruiting

    Goes alright this kid..

    Looking forward to when hes built his tank enough to move into his natural midfield position.   Hes already shown he can be a dangerous crumber when resting inside 50. Very smart player.

    Just as good in the midfield then he is up forward.

    Can see him developing into a Cotchin or Boomer Harvey type. Has that natural zip we often lack.

    Wait till he plays 50 games, will explode I reckon.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
