Are we sure about that ‘safe’ for Riv? 😂 Love him but he had one of of his classic brain farts

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

Edited by Macca

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!!!

Much much better

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.

Edit.... might want to do it more often 🤔 😏

Doing it more often would be better.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

  • NON-MFC: Round 11

    Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
