Does anyone here see Spargo becoming anything other than "good ordinary"?

Smart, sure - but how is he going to be elite? Not tall, not quick, not a great tackler, can't kick it 40 metres and not a special set shot.

Sorry if anyone takes offence. Just asking how he becomes elite.

LF Read my post yesterday in the Petracca topic along with Weids and that's my answer.

    It won't be long before it becomes, "at least he is trying".

    I would suggest a lot of your posts on players are becoming tiresome to a host of other posters. You mentioned some time ago in another thread that you were a talent scout for another afl club, would love to know which club that was.You obviously take great delight in bagging MFC players at every opportunity.

    Frost will become a very important player when May and Lever are back!! Bookmark this comment!

    Oscar was dreadful last night

    Fully agree - Frosty with the full backline minus OMac - great combination.

    Oliver basically won us the game imo. He lifted his intensity in the second half and his ability to move through a contest at speed and be clean in doing so is brilliant. The contrast between him and his fumbling teammates could not be more stark. Try to sign him for 6+ years next contract...he needs to be the pillar around which we grow.

    That's cool Amigo, I'm not here to find new friends. Just voice an opinion. 

    Every forum needs some different personalities. 

    I'm happy to be your sore thumb. 

    I don't bag all MFC players. Only ones who I deem not up to it. I'm not always correct. But sometimes I am.

    Oscar had a bad night and is out of form. But watching live, he at least got to the right spots before being beaten at the contest.

    This post is quite unbelievable. Are you really happy that we had a player that got to the right spots but was outplayed?

    Cmon this is AFL football - a professional sport. You have to be good at something. They all have flaws. We will never have a team of 22 guns. It doesn't work that way.

    But you must have players with some decent attributes. Frost is a flawed player but he has some terrific attributes. Do they outweigh his flaws? It depends. He did a pretty good job on Buddy again. 

    But OMac doesn't seem to have any key attributes. Zac Dawson is a better player than OMac - he was a terrible footballer but at least he could nullify players.

    BTW its not OMacs fault. He is what he is. But he shouldn't be learning his craft in the seniors.

    I have always said I doubt he will make it because he doesn't have any key attributes. I hope I am wrong. We need 22 good players every week.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
