Wow, I didn't have him that high but he has outperformed his draft position without question.

Happy we have him.

I bloody love this kid. 

IMO he is the best #31 since TGRDB.

Exciting, focussed, skilled, disciplined.

GO NUMBER 31!!!!

Surely Spargo should be ahead of that Essendon spud Guelfi.


He has been fantastic.    If he was on an opposing club we would be salivating over him and wanting to get him over to the Dees.

He does a lot of things so well, but you cant put a price on that aerial/marking ability + courage.

A top 5 talent at pick 31,  thanks Jason Taylor.

Massive props to have him ahead of Cerra who has future star written all over him. Yet not unreasonable.

Spargo would be pick 11.

JT is smashing this gig atm.

I heard a rumour that Spargo was touted a top 5 pick by some before something happened? Unsure what but when he bulks up and builds a tank he’s going to be a ripper

He has a touch of Brent Harvey about him (CS that is)

The only similarity to Harvey is his size...Harvey was explosive, Spargo isn't.

The jury is still out for me with Spargo, he's only a first year player. I get that.

...but does he have enough tricks?  At his size, he needs them.

My big concern at the moment is he is getting brushed aside way too easily, he really needs to work on his strength. That at least can be worked on.

He has the footy IQ, so that's a big plus.

Will he go on or will he be another JKH?

Time will tell.

Don’t forget he’s only 18

That was in his under 16 year, I think he then got an injury (shoulder I think) and missed a far bit of footy in his draft year.

True about his pace but I would suggest that his attitude is similar.  He obviously has a bit of the [censored] about him and I think that is where the similarity lies.  As my wife would say he is a big dog in a little dog's body

I'm astounded that Fritsch (at 21) and Guelfi (at 20) are described as "mature age".

Just finished puberty

Still going through it. Fritsch at times looks like he's come straight from a Harry Potter film. Wait til he gets thicker.

Bit silly to have Fritsch ahead of Cerra, Rayner, Naughton and Brayshaw. They should be 4-7 on this list. Fritsch a good candidate to be number 8 though.

He's shown more than most of those names. I don't think they adjust it for age/maturity though. Of course guys who are 21 are going to make more of an impact in their first 12 games than 18 year olds. I think the point is some people look at production and ignore potential, which is what's happening here.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
