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.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • 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.
