Gday guys, on one of the training thread there's been a few doubts on young Charlie about his size and whether he can translate his ability to AFL level. Thought I'd bring this thread up and have my 2

...... you have a terrible, terrible memory. First of all, Cam Hunter was 6 foot 1, while Spargo is 5'8. Hunter was very light for his height, unlike Spargo, who is a nuggety player.

And now ... the family connection. Charlie Spargo’s great grandfather Bob Spargo Senior played with the Melbourne Football Club, although it was just for two games during WW2. Bob Snr. stood

Geez goody seems excited to tell Spargo that he is playing his first game. 

The way Goodwin was seated and didn’t look him in the eye looked as though he was about to put the hard word on him rather than tell him he’s gonna debut.

Weird.

Was a bit creepy haha. Goody is probably thinking, I’ve got no rabbits left, this will do!

Surprising. Saw him play at casey against Frankston and wasn't that impressed. He is young though so give him a go. Interested to see how he stands up on Sunday.

Asked if he was feeling alright physically AFTER he told him he was playing ?

They cut out the bit where he asked him if he’d hit the showers yet.

Garlett has to be dropped, for not turning up for 2018.

He's played 2 good games that's 2 more than what most of the players have produced like Neal-Bullen and Harmes.

Wasn't banging the door down for selection at Casey last week. A lot to like about the kid but sometimes selection can be confusing.

 

Another Goodwin pearler... he is all over the shop

Agree 100% at the moment he is getting games on reputation. He hasn't really played well since half way thro last year except 4 a couple of cameos.

And he's a senior leader now... who is playing like a baby boy. 

 

He is NOT showing the way forward, as a 28Yr old regular senior player should be. 

... more in the mold of, watts his name again. lackluster efforts.

It’ll probably still be short of the vitriol you threw at Jack Watts over the years.

self belief is what makes ALL the difference in talented but struggling young players.

Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
