Date of Birth: 25 November, 1999 Height: 172cm Weight: 75kg Games MFC 2023: 14 Career Total: 97   Goals MFC 2023: 11 Career Total: 63   Games CDFC 2023: 7 Goals CDFC 2023: 7 The small forward with the rich football heritage faced a slump in his fortunes this year as goals dried up for him in mid season. As a consequence, he spent seven games at VFL level although he fought back into the side late in the season.

 

Quiet season for Spargo.

Hoping he gets back to his best in 24. 

Actually Kozzie and  Anb had quiet ones as well. Chandler started in a fanfare and disappeared. Kozzie still scored goals but didn't seem to impact games like last year.

But back to Spargo, I will say he always finds a teammate with his pin point disposals.

Yes agree with all above we need Charlie back to his best in 2024, tackling, putting on pressure and hitting up targets in the forward 50 and consistently nailing those snags from within 40.

If Spargo played vs the pies, we win the flag. For me it's that simple.

Agreed, much more mongrel than Laurie, who might as well not have been out there.  In fact, at this point, I don't see that Laurie offers anything different from Spargo, but with less bite.  Given the plethora of players we have around this size and skill set, I do think Laurie is going to find it difficult breaking into the team, but I'd be happy to be proven wrong.

I think Laurie is a cleaner finisher than Spargo

I like this line of thinking. Offering solutions to that game rather than making excuses.

Surprised he’s only averaged 0.7 goals a game in his career for someone that’s lined up in the forward line for basically every game.

Definitely in the mix next year.

Both massively overated. Spargo will struggle for a game with Mc Adam and Billings in the side. Out of contract in 25, I expect him to be elsewhere!

Goal kicker yes.  Link/pressure player no.  IMHO obviously.  I will watch with interest.

Last year was similar to his 2nd and 3rd year, players like Chandler and McAdam will put lots of pressure on him to get back into the AFL team.

Ordinary footballer who would have been well advised to look for another club in the off season given the ridiculous number of small & medium forwards we currently have on our list.

Doesn't win enough of his own football, doesn't kick enough goals, doesn't apply enough defensive pressure - it's a bad combination for a guy who is coming into his 7th season.

Melbourne Demons forward Charlie Spargo boasts the AFL’s best mark rate from kicks inside 50

Granted this was 2022, but Laurie and others will be doing well to better this.

 

Charlie clearly showed what he's about in the final against Carlton, was one of our better players that night.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.
