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: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
