FWIW, when we're up and about, Charlie Spargo is often involved in most scoring chains. He doesn't get it a lot but he's a good decision maker and solid user when he does. We could do with a bit of that around half forward. He's a better bet for mine than a few others.

I agree 100%.  If you go back and watch the last 4-5 games, including finals, of 2018 you'll see him involved in numerous scoring chains by getting to the right place and then hitting targets, either by foot or hand.  He was terrific.  No doubt he is out of form at the minute but he is worth persisting with.

    Yep, he's still a young fella finding his way. I hold out hope he'll be okay.

    Seems like the coaches haven't mentioned him at all. I'm a bit worried that he's behind guys like lockhart and hunt. Surely a delist if he's not in Sydney

    Not necessarily, according to Josh Mahoney on this week's The Talking Points, the decision to take less than the full available playing list was taken after consulting other clubs with hub experiences. Where the belief was a reduced roster of players worked best. Plus the need to manage the pressure on players with young families. Apparently seven families with babies/young kids have accompanied the MFC contingent.

    Those left behind will be supervised by five senior coaching staff and will have the opportunity according to JM to undergo intensive professional development.

    Corey Wagner appeared to be reasonably prominent. in the Blue team colours in the interclub scratch match at the 'G', two weekends back. Kyle Dunkley, another developing midfielder, performed well in last weekend's scratch match according to Demonland reports. James Jordon and Tom Sparrow are in Manly, so are closer to selection. If the season manages to stay alive, opportunities for Corey Wagner and other players in the Casey sub-bubble may occur later.

    I would also add his brother Josh. 

    Contrary to many on this site, I liked what I saw with Josh. Thought he showed promise but lost his way last season. 

    A little rough around the edges but had a manic attack on the ball and opponent. 

    Unfortunately Josh epitomises the Melb mediocrity Is Willing sort of hard at it but not greatly skilled and very average disposal.

    Has been lucky to survive this long on our list .

    Grest trier at  best but not to build the future on.

    You have not mentioned my favourite Wagner.

    Richard was very versatile and able to play a variety of roles.  

    His skills were sublime, his intensity and commitment renowned, and he was able to perform on the big stage when it counted. 

    Unfortunately, he was a bit of a prima donna who had a habit of rubbing up his team mates the wrong way. So he was not a great team player as he always demanded the ball and did not like team mates getting in his way. 

    He also attracted some undesirable fans including a bloke called Adolf and his cheer squad.   

    But when he played, he was sublime.  

     

    I thought he played on the half forward flank and was known as the flyng Dutchman

    Wagner and Beethoven are bullocking Germans who command the ball as inside players either in the midfield or down the spine, with the fleet footed Puccini and Verdi avoiding physical contact using their sublime foot skills on the outside at wing or half forward. 

    Would Mozart be at full forward

    Interesting to note that his more famous operas were two rather than three or four acts so perhaps he was more suited as a burst player

    They both remind me of Robert Wagner. Look the part, but ultimately made for TV rather than the big screen.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
