Farewell Charlie Spargo

It's tough. Spargo and so many others showed a lot in the VFL game. But at the end of the day we have to reduce our senior list by 3 players before the draft under AFL rules and we also have to reduce the rookies by at least 2 which we got as extras due to the long term injury list. You would also want to bring some young blood onto the rookie list. So I would suggest it will come down to at least 7 delistings.

What rule does this fall under?

    clubs are mandated to take 3 ND picks (can include rookie promotions) and we also have +2 on our list as a result of AMW and McAdams LTI so we re required to make at least 5 changes, two of which need to come from the rookie list (or promote 2 rookies to the senior list and make additional space there)

    What are the rules about reducing 3 players?

    Thanks

    What is the reasoning behind this rule?

    yep annually, id say its 70% to protect clubs from themselves and promote list turnover which also regenerates the age of lists and 30% to ensure the pathways are rewarded and kids get exposure

    I’m not against it. Glad you explained it, thanks.

    He looked flat last night at the B&F. I assumed he’d made his mind up.

    Didn’t help that his wing was in a sling but even so. Flat.

    Got his face as one of my Watch faces with the Spargod moniker

    Another from the '21 group departs.

    I'll miss Charlie. I think with a full and inury free pre-season he'll have a good 2026.

    No animosity here. Good luck to him.

    Smart player and one of our better users. Will always be a premiership demon. Thanks for your service Charlie.

    Wonder who the club is going to rush into the best 22 now off multiple injuries and no pre-season? Don't blame him for wanting a fresh start.

    It's a little sad to see Spargo-go, but all the best Charlie.

    Let's hope his more vocal detractors on here refrain from gravedancing.

    Would assume hes got a 6 month recovery following the dislocation at Casey. Wonder what our FA compensation would be for him 2nd or 3rd rounder??

    • 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.
