Spargo Snubbed Again

Yes, disappointing.

But there are bigger prizes than an artificial promo for the AFL's precious franchise clubs.

I am sure Charlie would prefer a premiership medallion than the rising star

    It doesn't show it above, but Spargo had 7 tackles to go with those 14 touches and 2 goals.  

    He does his job with minimal fuss, but losing out to Taylor seems strange.  I could understand it if it was Giro or Guelfi, but not Taylor.

    I remember when Demon supporters used to salivate over our players getting a Rising Star nomination. (Gysberts x 2, anyone?)   It was all we had to hang our hat on.  Thank god those days are gone.

    Now we are just talking Brownlows and AAs. We’ve come a long way. 

    PS- still can’t believe Oliver didn’t win the rising star ??

    The Rising Star is a BS award. You highlighted Clarry, but also look at the 2014 winner in Lewis Taylor (Patrick Cripps also came from that draft). 

    The Rising Star award gives zero credence as to which players' will develop into stars during their careers, but hey let's give them star status usually after only their first year of footy.

    There is no need to ask who you would choose out of those 2 now.

    They gave it to Hogan, the AFL can't have too many at one club.

    People only remember the winner. And even then it’s not guaranteed. It’s a bit of a nonsense award. Rhys Palmer won it ffs. Over Cyril Rioli.

    In fairness, Taylor played a very good game. The stats don’t do him much justice.

    How long is it since we have had a blonde haired cheeky rover? Too long.

    Spargo plays like an old style rover in that he is quick, runs hard, makes good decisions and knows how to kick a goal.

    With natural improvement and the protection of the midfield that will allow him to prosper out of the heat in the middle he has great potential so long as we find a role for him.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
