I haven't done the research, why bother, but I'd bet most teams have a particular player, (or two), who's happy to regularly milk a free kick if the situation presents. New AFL rule in the off-season - only one rubber ducker allowed per team.

 

I'm surprised and quite pleased to see the number of people who agree he does it, and those who say they'd prefer it if he didn't.

We have collectively lost our [censored] at Selwood, Shuey and Mathieson in years gone by, so it would be hypocritical to say Spargo doing it is fine.

It's as much "not a good look" as Viney's incident with Collins was, and I'd prefer he stop doing it.

 

Of course if he ducked and got a free 20 metres out in the GF with us trailing by 2 points with 10 seconds to play no one is going  to complain. Self interest always trumps ethics. 

Pickett is guilty of the same thing too. Constantly playing for free kicks

My footy club, right or wrong.

He's toned it down in recent weeks I reckon

He does do it but in all fairness as a smaller player one doesn't have to do that much to be given high contact frees.

 

Joel Selwood is roughly 10cm taller and mathieson is about 15cm taller than spargs. 

Yes he accentuates contact for the sake of the umpires, however; 

the law of averages would suggest that someone that small is naturally going to get taken high more frequently than people who are taller than him, and also considering he is often times being tackled by key defenders who are up to around 20cm taller than spargs on average.

leave him alone - other sides have been doing it to us for years.

Anything that gets Charlie a kick is fine by me! Played a very smart game for most of last week!😎


K Bartlett's  tactics of winning Premierships. Long..same.

Try not paying free kick and see what happens.

Love Charlie’s work this year. IMHO he’s become a ducking good player!

  • 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.
