The Charlie Spargo Appreciation Thread

Featured Replies

I do quite like this man.

his tackles are superb, but it’s more as a link in our scoring, either as a handball, block or waiting for a spill, and his physical support for teammates, it’s great.  But he has a brain for football, not all players do.

His effect on the team reminds me a bit of the effect GlennLovett had. Different positions and size of course. But if GL played well Melbourne played well. And he was underrated by demon supporters and opposition supporters as CS is.Well for the moment. !

    Charlie is a smart footballer - not a big possession player but his influence is significant - when he does get a possession it is usually constructive or leads to a scoring opportunity - rarely if ever wastes it 

    Nice to see him finally getting some recognition

    Spargo is the definition of selflessness.

    Creates goals from sheer pressure

    Went to the game with a Tigers fan who admitted hasnt watched must Melbourne games over the last few years. 

    His first impression of Spargo was he's too small, too slow and doesn't have an X-Factor. I then went on a passionate rant about how he's improved and adding to the team. It was like Demonland of Old meets Demonland of New.

    My first sighting of this. I'll expect to see it on the club's 'Fierce Moments' post!

    "SpargoPickettNealBullen..." is now a fixture of Goodwin's pressers.

    So Hibberd (mainly) got the 'FM' this week. Can't argue with that, looking at the package - and the influence on the outcome!

    Maybe had that fiercely driven moments clip been circulated on the night of the game Hibbo would have got a lot more votes.

    Certainly his nullification of Martin helped a long way in our getting on top.

    Outstanding sustained and intense pressure.
    Got about as much chance of being dropped as Gawn.

    Just watched spargo interview with our man down there at the MFC.  Bloody hell, what an easy to listen to well spoken young bloke.  Geez that gives me even further confidence in the young man and the whole group..  Im really excited.  So enjoying this run of form

    Charlie adds a different element into our forward forays. He hits up players on short leads with precise kicking, that others might  overlook or select against. I love this, it keeps oppo backlines guessing, just brilliant. Heaps of love for Spargs.

    His footy IQ and ball use and ferocity at the contest is elite. He makes up for his size with those qualities.

    I would like to get him a better hairdresser. There I said it.

    Charlie is now an integral part of our defensive forward set up, he covers so much territory and uses the ball so well. His games against Doggies and Lions showcased his skills and perseverance, Sparg’s is on ??. I am a believer. Top effort young man.

    Spargo is so reliable that practically every time he receives the ball in our forward half it results in a decent percentage shot at goal.  Between Spargo, Pickett and ANB we have a great mix of small forwards.

    What I find intriguing is Spargo doesn’t feature in the pressure act leaders (in fact he is low) or the tackle leaders but he is a big part of that system and always seems to be in the right place and his entries inside forward are up there with Salem in terms of effectiveness.

    Really pleased for him.

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
