Wow 2 short handballs and a chip kick. Such a gun. Would you like me to drum up videos of all the times he didn't make the distance kicking it from 30m out

Yeah man, would love to see those.

Go right ahead.

    I just don't think it's dong him any favours playing him in the AFL at this stage of his career.

    Time and getting a lot of ball at Casey, then let's see if he can step up.

    At the moment he's a liability but he's not on his own.

    This is the way I’ve been feeling most of the year. I saw enough last year that there could be a player in there...maybe.

    But at this stage, struggling for form, he should be racking up numbers in the VFL, getting his hands on the footy and building up confidence.

    Should Play centre at Casey for the rest of the year, apparently thats his best spot. Bring on Lockhart.

    I think he has great skill and a really good football brain. When he has the ball you generally know something is going to happen. However his size doesn't help him with regard to putting pressure on the opposition and means that he is often out-positioned. 

    I look at Lockhart, who is only 4cm taller, and I just think he has a lot more presence. If Spargo can learn how to work to the right positions (maybe it means he needs to bulk up a little), and Lockhart has his first preseason, they might make a pretty deadly duo

    Sheeeit if he bulks up a little he will be slower than ever!! Nup not the answer!

    Both play like they do not want the ball. One way of saying they need to toughen up. Their pressure and tackling was not good.

    Hannan is a player that has always gone missing for large stretches of matches, like JKH, and has fallen into the 'better player while not playing' genre of players that some fans think we need to get into the team to turn our fortunes around. Meanwhile players who they want out, like Spargo are consistently getting to the ball and in on most of the action all day and so highly visible mistakes are bound to be made.

    Phew, at least someone gets it.

    (i.e., someone apart from the coaching staff).

    Im sticking by Spargo.  Hes a 19 year old with the 2nd year blues, not helped by playing in a terrible team.

    Spargo ain't got it no matter how long he spends at Casey "getting some form".

    I hope he proves me wrong and best of luck to him, but he's a list clogger who has never dominated at Casey

    Exactly right, that's his go. Not the forward line. He'll prove a few on here wrong given time to develop in the midfield.

    He’s got some good qualities I agree, and I thought he added something last year. But I’m really just not sure, no matter how hard he works,   that you can play AFL level consistently with a 30 metre kicking limit... and even then he shanks many of them.

    What's with this story the keeps getting perpetuated that he has a small kicking limit?? I don't get that people cannot see that this is not true.  I can think of at least 3 goals he has kicked - and his last one against Collingwood was at least 40-45m out and went through above head hight... check out this clip here for evidence (1.05 mark)

    I'd almost argue he has a larger kicking range than Hogan.

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
