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.

    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.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
