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.

Sparrow came a very long way since the Collingwood game.

Migrated, did he? Wouldn't surprise. This team is capable of great things.

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….

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
