Agree! Also the fact you called your eldest son Charlie Spargo is impressive!!

Lol, yeah. Maybe not the Spargo part and he's not actually named after him exactly.

He's also actually a Brisbane Lions supporter, who's favourite player is Charlie Cameron, but I won't hold that against him. Watching the Lions and Charlie Cameron over the years has been alot of fun also, particularly this past few when we've been such 💩. Did have that awsome Jake Melksham inspired comeback we had at the MCG a few years back which was alot of fun to get one back over him!

Any idea what the hold up is on Charlie's compensation pick? Paperwork was lodged on Friday, why the delay? Has head office run out of secret herbs and spices?

My guess is if Mihocek comes as an FA it would wipe out or dilulte the Charlie FA pick.

If he comes as a trade then we keep the Charlie pick.

Once the BM 'trade' is decided we will know the compensation pick for Charlie.

Thanks for your fantastic service to our great football club.

We all should never forget the incredible mark he has left on our club as a Premiership player.

Well done Charlie and best wishes for your journey with the Roos.

I'm interested in how the negotiation on this would go with Collingwood. I'm assuming they'd be in a similar / inverse position to us with respects to free agents in and out, so I'd think we'd need to offer them something more than what they think they'd receive as a compensation for Mihoceck, unless of course they are already linked to multiple in-bound free agents. Otherwise why would they want to trade compared to just receiving the free agency compensation like us?

It's been stated that they may not get any Mihocek compo given his age and the short-term contract he has with Melbourne

So anything we give them in a trade is an upgrade on nothing

They will want Clayton Oliver and May as a trade and we are probably silly enough to consider it. I love when the circus is in town. This trade period will be the making or breaking of Tim Lamb, who in my opinion has a very poor record.

Checkers is similar to ANB, Premiership player, staunch type of fellow held in high regard, the Pies are unlikely to screw him over draft picks.

Great run? Yeah nah!

Official ...

More like Spargone.

Pick in the early 40s not bad considering output last few years.

wonder if they'll use it or try bundle up to move up

Last post came out a bit meaner than intended, will try redeem it with the next few onya Spargs.

Good on Charlie

Wishing him all the success at North

Good luck Spargypants.

Enjoy your new home. Am sure your old man's tickled pink 👍

Now that's a salacious rumour. What's going on down there at Arden Street?

Wasn't expecting end of second round. Decent pick!

All the best Spargs

Premiership player, Could only ask you to kick 5 metres further, but nothing more than that. Wish you well at North, must give your old man a thrill !
