Have been pleading with demon supporters for couple of years to stick fat with this kid. What you're watching now is exactly what he was showing at TAC level and why he was highly rated by our recruiting and coaching staff. 

Imo he is by far our best tackler in the team, and he sets the tone with his insane pressure and manic attack. Don't think I've seen anyone an opponent slip his tackles as of yet this year.

While Kozzie might be getting all the Hollywood attention and rightly so, it's Spargo who the coaches would be just as wrapt with his defensive efforts and form. 

Worked incredibly hard today and wish he got the reward on the scoreboard. He's best 22 as we speak.

 

He has gone to another level the kid. I loved it when he milked a free from that sook who's been conning the umps for 15 years. Absolutely loved it.

The umps were great today i must add, really earnt their pay packet today.

For the life of me i cannot understand why people give spargo a hard time. Vice like in the tackle and excellent with ball in hand. Radar was a little off today but he's a fantastic small forward. Delighted he is finally getting the respect he deserves.

Cheers Charlie.


The "Spargo Ratio":

Score involvements divided by disposals.

I think we underestimate how a few preseason can really build a players strength. He often got brushed off when tackling in his first couple years. Not anymore. Great skills, huge footy IQ, always front and center. We need all of Spargo, Kozzie and ANB at the moment.

Valuable contribution today. Ok. Smart options when he had the chance.  Tackling definitely better. He should have kicked 3 or 4 goals but like others, didn’t quite finish.  I’m not convinced he’s in our absolute best 18 but I’m not axing him either.

I don’t always love the shoulder dip move, it can abandon you if you the umps catch on.

Spargo’s positioning is what makes his game. Watch as we turn the ball over he’ll always be the first to move to get out to space. He understands how to stretch backlines. He gets front and centre.

Add in the strength at the contest and with tackling and that’s a proper AFL player.

Early Last year I called him a tin can to some mates, by years end it was a runn8ng gag of what metal he was made of each week. This year he is titanium 


Love him, want him to start hitting the scoreboard more to take the next step

Thanks Uncle, is the maid hiding or have you already administered a fearful thrashing, and If I ever am in fair Romsey it would be a pleasure to provide fine wine for entertainment at "The Manor" 


Just said the same thing to a couple of mates of mine.

Without trying to sound like some sort of [censored], I implored them to give him time. Despite size, he has all the attibributes to become an elite small forward.

He showed all of this in 2018 yet fallen to the wayside.

So important to our team right now. He forward entries and tackling pressure are crucial.

I'll take care of what you bear picket , however, The Maid is rather concerned about what you might bare.

 


I'm glad to be wrong with him GO SPARGS! KEEP IT UP SON!

Love Charlie. He's now reaping the rewards that come with having teammates with the same willingness to run and chase and tackle.

It's why I think Melksham needs to be left out. This small forward group has built a real synergy around work rate and pressure and Melksham, for all his skill, doesn't live up to that standard.

Ahh for the quantum mechanists out there.

On Demonland, Charlie Spargo is both (neither) amazing or awful

...but really, he is quite bloody good...

Yep. It annoys me that some are applauding that he has stepped up.

He's doing what he's always done and is being rewarded because he now has some help.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
