Wonder what our FA compensation would be for him 2nd or 3rd rounder??

Second would be fab. I doubt it would be that high, but they're talking top of the first round for Draper, so anything is possible.

    4th rounder i'd say, was in and out of the VFL

    Great offensive weapon at his best.

    Hope he finds that form again and can work through those injuries. Sad to see him go, but all the best Spargs!

    Never ever rated him but still a premiership player. Good luck at Roos!

    North supporters are livid with the selection if Bigfooty is an indication.

    If he has a decent run at it health wise, then he might be good pick up for the Roos.

    Thanks for being a Premiership player with the Dees Charlie.

    Good luck in the next phase of your AFL career.

    Leaving as a free agent so it will either be 3rd round compensation or no compensation. 2nd round if we're very lucky and North give a generous contract.

    Game has gone past him. Have known this was coming as far back as the start of the year.

    He was initially unhappy with the club last year around his injury management but this year was purely just wanting a fresh start.

    Good luck. 3 year deal so looking likely a 3rd round compo.

    I think this is a good outcome for both player & club. He played an important role in 2021, but hasn't been great since. A fresh start might get him back on track.

    On his day he was a good cog player, sadly injuries have cruelled him. Long live Spargoat.
    North a bit of interesting for mine though, i know they need experience but not sure about this one for them

    A bit of nostalgia playing where his father played.

    All the best Charlie.

    Never quite liked him in the number 9, always felt he was too small for it after Neita.

    we'll probably get the end of 2nd round (pick 37 before any other compo, father sons or academy picks), but if we're really lucky and norf decide to offer him like 520k we could get the raw pick 23 which would be insane

    Yeah I think this is happening. And I think it's for the best.

    It's a mistake to let him go IMO. Our smalls fwds stocks a really bad and even worse now.

    The most overrated player by Demonlanders. A small forward who didn't kick goals and averaged 11 possessions. Also isn't an elite pressure player. His supposed elite disposal was a Demonland myth.

    Spargo's best season was actually his 1st in 2018.

    Couldn't care less that he played in the premiership team. Glad to see him gone.

    Cal Twomey has stated that we will get a late pick. North have offered him 3 years on probably low dollars.

    That would be amazing.

    Isn't $520,000 pretty unspectacular remuneration for a senior player these days?

    bit of a guess, he needs to be offered a higher salary than 52% of listed players over 25 for us to get the pick after our 2nd i think

    Good luck at Roo’s Charlie Spargo vital cog in2021 Flag but haven’t had a really decent run at it since, Achilles cruelled ‘24, he was playing a vg game for us against Swannies when he damaged his shoulder then popped it again at Casey. Hope you have better luck at North Spargypants but not against us.

    all depends what they offer him, his age actually increases his compo by quite a lot. jordon got us an end of 2nd round and he was more of a fringe player for us than spargs

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

      Gather Round is upon us and the Demons face off against the Bombers who are on a 17 game losing streak. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
