    And that is Spargo. Has never got it a lot, but when he is around the ball, good things generally happen. Underrated on here imo.

    Bit rough on Thulstrup , 14 possies, 4 tackles and 5 score involvements is pretty good for a small fwd. 0.3 hurts but still 3 shots on goal!

    Still learning his craft. Showed a fair bit of promise for me. Some bad fumbles but again still growing.

    Spargo works blo#dy hard.

    Has missed a lot of footy.

    With kozzie in the middle I would like to see Spargo up fwd a lot more.

    Tough on Spargo. But most fairly accurate.

    Thanks JB.

    Tholstrup has a 12 week injury, no pre season, and then thrown straight into thr deep end, no VFL, he’ll be fine !

    Correct

    And to expect much more than 14 possessions from a 19yo player who is playing a small forwards role is totally unrealistic

    Kolt needs to convert his opportunities but he's not alone in that dept. (from an overall perspective)

    The MC would be very happy with his development but that might mean that he could play some games at Casey as part of that development

    At a lower level, he'd be better suited as a frontline midfielder in order to develop his overall game

    Tholstrop reminds me of a Chandler 2.0. A little rough in the early stages and was up and down both in form and the main team. Another pre-season and consistent game time has allowed him to flourish. This forum lacks patience with the young kids.

    Spargo. In 108 minutes of footy… 5 kicks 9 handballs 86 metres gained, pressure rating Low, 1 tackle (when Hunt rang into him). 1 goal from that tackle !! Two missed tackles. Just barely barely a game. Lucky he got that goal in the last quarter. We need much much more from him!!!

    Agree.

    I underrate him and then I see him setting up scoring chances.

    He is one of those players like ANB, who are not always noticed by fans, but are valued inside their club.

    Can have quiet games, like many hff’s.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
