I’ve always thought Sexton from GC was good at AFL level, if only a little patchy.

He’d be too good at this level

Agree. Alex Sexton is an absolute gun goalscorer at VFL level but not quite there at AFL. Had a great year 2-3 years ago. Like Dunstan for Casey, he’s too good for VFL but won’t get a run now given age and others ahead of him.

New evidence has come to light and after careful review of this information binman finds binman NOT out of line with the crack about there being zero chance of Mr Charles Spargo not getting selected if fit.

The first piece evidence comes from a press conference with the Melbourne Football Club senior coach, Simon Goodwin on Tuesday 10 May 2023 that clearly indicates Mr Charles Spargo's non selection in the round seven game against the God Coast Suns WAS in fact fitness related.

From 5:58 in the video below:

In response to a question about Mr Charles Spargo being in the twos and concussion, Simon Goodwin says:

‘He basically had two weeks out of the game, coming back from concussion we know at times that can be quite challenging. And having two weeks out we wanted to make sure he was 100% right. We brought him back via the VFL, he played incredibly well. He’s an important player for us’.

The second piece of evidence is that the Melbourne Football Club has formally advised the AFL that Mr Charles Spargo has been selected to play in the round nine AFL football match against Hawthorn Football Club scheduled for 13 May 2023. 

Binman advises binman can continue to make posts on the Demonland football fan forum that there is zero chance of Mr Charles Spargo not being selected in any given game IF fit.

  • PREVIEW: Carlton

    Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

  • 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 return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    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.
