Disappointing from both players, I was young once and did stupid things, so understand but I wasn't in their position. Not a hanging offence but still a mark against them

Some of the comments on here toward Spargo are disgraceful and some of you should hang your heads in shame.

Nobody should ever wish anything but the best for the players

Spargo was ordinary last season like the rest of our team. He had a pretty good first season in 2018 and kicked two goals on debut and had 18 touches. Short memories.

    Yes ET, that is correct he had a very good 1st season but either way didn't deserve some of the responses but BBP and others of his ilk just continues to show a complete lack of class

    I still don't know why spargo got 2 weeks whilst everyone else got 1 week

    "Spargo was invited by a friend to a house last week and asked Pickett to come along.

    The AFL investigators agreed with the club that Spargo's punishment should be greater than Pickett's, given he was both the senior player and the one who asked Pickett to come with him.

    The club became aware of the matter this week but it wasn't because the players came forward.

    Once Melbourne officials became aware of the situation, they contacted the AFL."

    Just guessing, but possibly the difference between an innocent mistake and leading someone else to make a mistake?

    despite the official reasons it may be as simple as that a one week suspension for Charlie was irrelevant as he was not selected.

    One could not officially say that so they drum up another reason. It now makes 2 weeks the base.

    Only if you play for one of the poorer clubs DJ.

    The AFL logic is always the same the players from teams with big patronige and as a result  more ratings get softer penalities than the clubs like Melbourne. How else do explain Burgoyne getting only a fine?

    Pickett got a week for going to the party.
    Spargo got one week for going and one week for taking Pickett. 

    Spargo needs a huge kick up the backside. He's turning in to the classic MFC private school kid who's happy collecting a few years of cheques without fulfilling his potential.

    It's very disappointing, from Spargo.   I have been supporting him thru, and, disappointed.

    They shouldn't be going to location with multiple other people, I would imagine that this was something made pretty plain and simple to them. It was a silly breach by Spargs and Kozzie, I didn't realise that it was Spargo that initiated it so his higher suspension makes more sense now. That said I also think it's double standards that he gets two weeks and Wines (who is much more senior than either of them) invites media over to his house to do an interview.

    What about if you had a tennis “tournament” with a group of 20 mates... and beers after? That’s ok?

    ...and maybe they could do an interview for 7 sport about the tennis to finish it off.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
