Great news. You would think that Adelaide would like to have a dabble at both Sparrow and Petty in the next few years, so keeping them under contract is important.

    Good signing, he’s one of our most promising youngsters. Sparrow has a lot of potential to be a good midfielder and can also hit the scoreboard or play forward flank if needed. Adelaide are keen on luring him back to SA, so this is a good signing to keep the group stable. Now just need Dogga to extend and our best youngsters are all locked away!

    Very happy with Tom signing on - has plenty to offer 

    Was surprised however his set shot for goal last night as it was such a stinker - had penciled it in as a goal such is the confidence I have in his kicking :)

    Very happy with this news.  Spaz is a good player, with a ton of upside imo.

    The only player in the club that can stop Trac (at training) according to Steven May last night. 

    Great signing.

    Saw a comment from his Mum when drafted. What are some of his attributes, Mum said Loyalty. He's a 200 gamer

    The one thing that could stop Melbourne is our lack of attacking midfield depth. I don't even want to say it, but if Trac or Oliver go down (or have a down game), we need someone to be able to pick up where they left off and be damaging offensively. Sparrow has all the tools.

    Great signing.

    Ability under pressure for someone so young is amazing.

    The long goal in the GF with 4 Dogs running at him.

    The long kick to Brown following ANB's kick inot space, summing up what Brwon was calling for then doing it.

    Match winning actions (some of the many by the team)

    Bowey's the same, just has different coloured hair and plays in defence.

    Huge fan of Sparrow, and great to see him re-signing. If he can get more development time in the midfield, he could be anything. Strength, confidence, booming kick.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
