St kilda will try and take a lot out of Norths win last night.. We have to be on our guard big time and be ready and switched on right from the start!.

Or he was probably feeling the effects of a 5 day turn around and that we forget that he's still only 20 years old....

I know he is out of form, but Jeffy coming back into the side would make us an even better side if that makes sense in a weird kind of way? ANB can make way for him. I just feel on a dry quick deck, Garlett has the potential to kick your 3-4 goals from anywhere!

I reckon Smith is a huge chance to play this week.

The Fillopovic reason is truly bizarre.. rest him for 2 works of not playing on the assumption that hes on a low base? Yet hes had a full pre season??

Agree, very vanilla type player for me..

For this year he'll most likely spend it all up forward. Next year I see him playing a forward midfield burst in the same vein as Caleb Daniel. His junior years were spent in the midfield and he was absolutely dominant back then.

The big positive from today for me was Angus Brayshaw effort in the midfield.

This is getting old now.. they give you nothing. In your head it seems they do, but they don't.

JKH has been a major disappointment.. last year he was a ball magnet and was dominating at VFL level. Now he can barely get a touch. Tim Smith is interesting.. named on the extended bench and then goes out and gets BOG. Will surely come into consideration next week .

Will be delisted at the end of the year.

Absolutely stoked about this! I feel he is one that'll play better and more suited to the more quicker tempo of AFL rather then the VFL.. And just quickly, I've had a bit to do with young "Spargs" and I posted this back early January this year. Gday guys, on one of the training thread there's been a few doubts on young Charlie about his size and whether he can translate his ability to AFL level. Thought I'd bring this thread up and have my 2 cents worth. Just on Spargo, I had a bit to do with him when he was in the under 16s bushies . I didn't bother to write anything up on him when we drafted him (lack of interest in demonland at the time) but I thought I'd post my thought a on him now. Goody is going to fall in love coaching this young fella, he is 18 years old going onto 25 in terms of maturity and level headed. He was driven right from the very young age to succeed in footy and make AFL. He started playing senior footy for Albury in the strong Ovens and Murray league (step below VFL) at 16 and was still running rings around former AFL players with such ease. It was tipped right from then that this kid could potentially be the next big thing despite his size. He was quick, tough as F**k, and most importantly, driven and determined to make it. Despite being a quiet and down to earth sort of fella, he just oozes leadership on field! We played a praccy match against Bendigo once and he was captain for the day. The whole day he was barking orders, setting up midfield stoppages, encouraging teammtes, and giving direct feedback to coaching and senior officials on what was going right and wrong. He'll be in the leadership group in a couple of years. Mark my words. Obviously being in boarding school this year I barely got time to see any of his games (injured also). But we got word back from some recruiters that if it wasn't for injury he would be top 10 without a doubt. 3 clubs had even made mentioned that if he was just a smidge taller and injury free, they had penciled him for top 5. Every club rated him and the giants were absolutely filthy when they lost first rights to him. He is a genuine talent. If I was to compare him to someone in terms of toughness, leadership and skill? it would be Joel Selwood. He has everything that you need in terms of the culture you're trying to build and set. Yes I've pumped up his tyres, but the biggest test for him will be the transition to AFL level. The likes of Caleb Daniel and Eddie Betts have shown that it is possible if you've got the ticker and drive to succeed. I believe young Spargo has this. The likes of Jones, Viney, Oliver and Lewis will crave having this kid in the side running full tilt into packs and come out ball in hand. I don't want to put too much pressure on the kid but in my honest opinion, he is an absolute beauty! Hope that helps.

What??

Would it actually hurt to play him in his natural position.

Yeah sure why not? Why would they attack me but? For being a self centered [censored] like Saty?

No mate, you didn't straighten it up, you dug yourself a massive hole and was proved utterly wrong. It's just a pity you're not man enough to admit your faults like we've all done here in the past. [censored] poor effort by you.

Dig dig dig.....

Mate you're a troll and have no idea what you're even talking about..

I can see Oscar carving out a solid career in the same vein as Tom Lonergan. Dour solid defender who'll get the job done every week, but probably not the recognition he deserves externally. Enjoying Oscar's development this year. Thumbs up to Simon Goodwin for having the confidence in him each week when most wanted him dropped and developed in the VFL.

There'd be a fair few of them around..

I will be happy once he signs the dotted line.. for now, it' just s headline trying to sell papers.

Just looks a natural forward doesn't he? A lot of similarities to Josh Kennedy in terms of style.

Dylan Crimes, Mitch Morton, Steven Armstrong, Trent West... Front seat passengers of a premiership side. Grimes is a hack.

Absolutely we should be targeting Gaff and Sloane.

I should add that I was completely and utterly excited/shocked when he fell into our lap at our first pick. To have clubs rate him a top 10 and potential top 5 pick if it wasn't for injury is a HUGE bargain. Don't be put off by his size.. the kid has what it takes to make it at the top level. Go get em Spargs!
