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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
