The Charlie Spargo Appreciation Thread

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.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
