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.

  • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

    Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

  • REPORT: Adelaide

    The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

  • CASEY: Coburg

    The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

  • PREGAME: Rd 18 vs North Melbourne

    After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
