The Charlie Spargo Appreciation Thread
I love what Charlie is doing. Best pressure forward in the comp. Had an off day last week v the Hawks but was back to his brilliant best yesterday.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Richmond
There is zero chance we don't turn up to play nest week. I have 100% confidence in our temperament and attitude. It has been spot on all season and won;t be any different next week. I get why people still find it hard to fully trust the team given our history but on the evidence so far this year the penny has dropped. Finally.

I don;t fancy an upper cut but i'll happily eat some humble pie. He has been fantastic. His resurrection act this year is on a par with Lazarus.

Nic Nat was dreadful yesterday against Geelong. He's unfit and carrying at least 5kg too much. Nic Nat has no tank. Gawn is going to give him such a working over when we play them.

I was the same. Normally i'm a bundle of nerves watching on but yesterday was different. We were always in control and easily kept the Tiges at arms length throughout.

What they're saying down at Punt Road
I wasn't at the game unfortunately so couldn't experience the tiges fans first hand but i've found them to be on of the more reasonable supporter bases in the league. Big footy attracts the loudmouths by the look of it. What i didn't realise before is how grubby and under hand the Tiges are. Always with the sly dig and always needling. I actually hope the Doggies pump them next week.

Angus Brayshaw 100 Games
He's as tough as they come. Never shirks contact. There have been a few occasions where I can see the contact coming and winch in fear of what might happen but Gus never backs out. He has found a role in the team and is playing it well. Great work Gus.

Nathan Jones 300 Games
I'm delighted Jonesy experienced an epic win like that on his milestone. Too often these occasions can fall flat (see st kilda v us in the Spud Frawley game). I won't lie, I was nervous about him playing against the Tiges but he held his own. Will struggle to stay in the team over the medium term but on last nights evidence i think he warrants his spot against the Roos next week.

Melksham should be dropped. Can't think of a single positive contribution he made tonight.

POSTGAME: Rd 06 vs Richmond
I think that display trumps our 2018 finals wins in terms of the quality of opposition and quality of performance. Salem best on ground. Tomlinson rock solid down back, Lever excellent. May not his unusual dominating self but his presence alone gave confidence to our whole defensive set-up. Viney cracked in. Clayton struggled early but worked his way into it. Trac his usual excellent self. Maxy did his thing TMac fantastic. He is back to his 2018 best Nibbler very good. Sprags and Kozzie contributed. Fritsch kicked his 2 goals. Delighted Jonesy had a win on his 300th. Wasn’t overly involved but was serviceable. Only negatives were clearances and Melks. He shouldn’t play next week. The lid has been well and truly blown off and is currently orbiting the moon. Go Dees.

Trac got best on ground. Salem stiff.

Our clearance work last week and this is not good at all. Need to sort it out.

How good is Nibbler. The performances we're getting out out of lesser players is phenomenal

That was a pathetic attempt at a tackle from Melksham

I would love to see one of the Richmond players laid out in the second half. Preferably Lynch

Good man TMac. I can't believe you are back to 2018 form. Hats off to you.
