    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.

    Doing it more often would be better.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
