I'm interested to see where he fits in the scheme of things. Is he a Jonesy replacement with a couple of years to develop? Or do they see him fitting in earlier than that, and at who's expense?

One to keep an eye on

And now we have some teammates who’s brains he really can pick. Teammates who really have been there done that, teammates who really believe in themselves and teammates who realise that with hard work and dedication, the prize may not be too far away. 

A culture that is still building but one that Sparrow and the other “kids” will embrace as natural. A big, big turnaround from 8  - 10 years ago. I know we all thank Paul Roos but I want to thank Daniel Cross for importing a professionalism of dedication and training that shocked many at the club into changing their ways (or getting out)! How much talent was waisted a decade ago by ineptitude, amateurism, and pure stupidity,  a bloody lot IMHO.

He fits at Casey learning his craft and hopefully he is good enough to play 100+ games for the club.  Our midfield depth isn't that great outside the regular AFL players, we need the next group of midfielders developing at Casey and hopefully pushing for selection mid to late in the year.  Whose spot they take is irrelevant at this stage

Hopefully he's racking up 30+ possessions at Casey and pushing for selection.

This is what ANB did consistently to make his case.


Squawker © is going to be a hell of a player.

Exactly and not follow the senior players down Bridge road, Chapel st venues and the polo events. 

Wasted by [censored] drinking and other activities, “allegedly”.

I'm not sure the club has become a chapter of the temperance society per se, but it's more a case of 'there's a time and a place'.

Maxy and Bernie have both been known to enjoy a beer. However, it's usually in moderation and not at places like the 'G on Boxing Day (while making a giant beer snake) or with bikies at pool parties in Vegas.

He’s an Adelaide Hills boy, there made of the tough stuff. He will be fine.

About as tough as a blow wave in a wind tunnel.

Looking at him at training today and on Monday, he'll be fine. Keep chipping away at it.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
