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.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
