I agree Mr lose, Ricky has dancing feet and I great to watch. Having said that I think he’s a work in progress and others are well ahead of him at this point. 
 

@Gator, was Spargo doing anything but running?  

No, just running.  Mainly with Reece Conca.

    Wrong thread. I assume this should be in the Lookalikes thread comparing these two with Mick Martyn and David Neitz (the post-retirement version)

    Not a bad call.

    Spargo is a NQR. He will struggle to get games from here on.

    Does anyone know who Cambell was competing against in the ruck battles? 

    How did they go? Were they able to give a genuine contest?

    Curious as to why you say this (honest respectful question), NQR for me means a temperament, skills or endeavour issue and I have never thought that about him. I think like many small forwards his moments are brief and errors magnified, but to say NQR am wondering if I missed something. Personally I hope he is one of many that keeps selection pressure up, and I always thought he was a thinking footballer. If others have gone past him I won't complain though.

    I always thought he lacked a bit of pace and depth in his kicking. I would personally say he has limitations rather than NQR.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.
