A great contributor in 2021 but was struggling for impact in 22/23 before his Achilles injury derailed his 24 season

I think we need to start to move past the Spargo’s of the world for small forwards who can provide defensive pressure whilst also hitting the scoreboard

We’ll always need those high half forwards but the best of them manage to snag a few goals while getting upwards of 15 possies a game - something Spargo unfortunately hasn’t done for a while now

Well called DD.

I like Spargs. He's shown flashes of brilliance over the years but he doesn't quite do enough at AFL level.

Doesn't kick enough goals as a small forward, doesn't get enough of the ball for a half-forward/mid.

I'll be interested to see if the new coach has him in his plans or not.

 

I like Spargo but know he needs to improve aspects of his game,
Imagine the compensation won't be too flash, and we're in a diluted draft anyway.

At least he's ticked off the 100 Game father/son option.

Matter is complicated by the lack of coach at the moment.

I don't think he'll be a big loss either.


Writing on the wall really. Opportunities will not be massive should he stay ( imho )

Best of luck Spargypants 👍

Spargo at one end, Daniel at the other. North the land of the slow, short guys who kick ok

A permanent forward who has kicked 1 goal in 10 games this year. Supposedly a wonderful kick inside 50, but he only has 4 goal assists in those 10 games.

I genuinely don't understand what his role is meant to be, but surely he can't be performing it to the level expected.

No doubt he played an important part in 2021 but, like most of his teammates, he has gone significantly backwards since.

The best thing for both player and club would be for him to find a new home at year end, likely as a delisted free agent.

Bump this!


Charlie Spargo and pick 23 for Zane Duursma sounds okay.

North wouldn't let him go cheeply, but JT rates him extremely highly, he's got connections with the MFC and he clearly wants a better situation for himself.

apologies i didn't realise he was a free agent. perhaps insert name here instead.

maybe Steven May might appeal to North?

Spargo is an unrestricted free agent, they don’t have to trade for him

Unfortunately North wouldn’t have to trade for Spargo as he’s an UFA

Sounds like a good move from the Dees, an offer we are happy to give, and he is welcome to explore if he wants more $$ or opportunity elsewhere. This is the type of player that we don't need to be chasing after. Offer his worth, and no more.


He will get a longer, higher contract at North which we won’t compete with

We wont need to compete.

There is a standard offer on the table and and the club won't budge any further from that.

More $$$ and better opportunities to travel at North.

If he can get his body right, will be a valuable acquisition for Norf. Their good mids are weak defensively and run forward of the ball. Spargypants goes some way to addressing this problem.

And will tower over Caleb Daniel

Charlie keeps his footy alive

Free spot on our list

Win-Win

Spargo getting a 4yr deal after 2021 shows the level of our list management in competence. Delist and let him list clog somewhere else.

He signed a 3 year contract extension in mid 2022.

I do think Spargo has really high footy IQ and io can see why he'd appeal elsewhere, it's hard to make these decisions without a coach though, of our final 6 prospects, how many of them rate Charlie and would want him to stay and how many would be happy with a compensation pick and money off the books?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
