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.

    Not in my best 30 FWIW.

    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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
