Tommy Sparrow announced himself in the finals series this year. Expecting a big year from him in 2022.

I have watched tommy Sparrow come on in leaps and bounds this year, particularly his final series, and love what he is contributing to the team. Anyone who can roost a 50m goal off one step is ok with me. His thoughtful and well placed kicks to Ben Brown and Dogga, both for goals, in the last quarter of the GF showed a touch of class.  He also brings a lot of strength and hardness to his game reminiscent to me of Todd Viney. Any mid who can go forward and hit the scoreboard is gold these days and tommy is one of those mids. I also expect him to improve and have a great 2022.

I hope Sparrow's trajectory is up not like when Weideman announced himself 2018 finals.

You never know, but it seems unlikely. However, Tommy could go the rest of his career without getting a single possession and he will still be remembered fondly for being one of the mighty crew who delivered a flag for this great club.

Amazing to think he is already a premiership player with so much improvement left in him. He is now, and always will be, one of an elite group of MFC players. I still am trying to wrap my head around that we finally made it to the Promised Land after waiting those 57 long years. Never thought I would see one again in my lifetime and am so happy and grateful.

Like when he kicked the ball to Fritta instead of going for glory and trying to kick it post height for a certain goal in the first quarter. Kicked it to the advantage of another teammate. Always thinking of others. Guys a winner and even Pettracca and Oliver don't  make every decision the right one. He's a positive at our club and not something we need to be worried about. 

Spot on. Dee Spencer was on some serious medication when he wrote that rubbish. 
TS will be a fine player. He was no passenger in any of the Final Series games. 
he performed and his kicking was top class. He will only get better

As I said before, Tom reminds me of a young Travis Boak out of all current players. Very strong, hard at the ball and a superb long kick.

Tom Sparrow has a touch of the Brent Moloney’s about him

Possibly always wondered how he would have gone in a good side

Last night I watched the PF again - looking at Tom in particular.   He plays such a measured mature game for such a young man. 
Huge upside.  Could be anything, especially with CP5, Clarry and JV7 still in the mix.  
Awesome thought.

TS was a pretty good scholar as well as sportsman at college, another smart cookie at the club, just love that glint in his eye.!!

One of 23 MFC immortals. No flag in our lifetime will ever mean as much as this. The most hard earned and purest football Premiership in  not only our history but in VFL/AFL history.

Played a ripper Gf with poise and selflessness.  That goal off one step like was like Tracs earlier one except that Tom is a lot younger. A potential  close to another CP perhaps. I thought James Jordan was dealt a harsh blow being replaced by Sparrow. Thought they were at about the same level but I'm now sure they are not. Nothing against JJ but TS is a gun for his age.

It is interesting to speculate where his best position will be going forward. He is built like a rugged onballer, but we have plenty of outstanding versions of them. I suspect he will end up on the wing, or centre, certainly has the class for both. Not sure yet about his endurance, but no doubt we will find out in the next year or so. Certainly an amazing prospect….

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
