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.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
