Can Goody throw Turner fwd? I’m bored

I agree, our playing stocks are limited therefore Spargs should be getting games, but I hope the club recruits small forwards who are more threatening in the attacking and defensive aspect of playing forward. Charlie is at 0.6 goals and 0.62 goal assists per game in his career. His possession average is 11 disposals per game. These stats are on the lower level of average, bordering on poor. His kicking skills are over rated on Demonland given he averages 6 kicks per game and struggles to kick 40 meters. He is a smart footballer and knows how to position himself on field, but he is not overly athletic and has average speed. Other than playing half forward or wing he is limited to be played in other positions. This is not a personal attack in Spargo, just my view on his ability at AFL level.

Spargo has some great attributes, but he has some poor/average ones as well. Getting his hands on the ball and scoreboard impact, he is on the poor scale. As you said he is a half forward. Forwards kick goals and have a higher percentage of goal assists.

I would not say Spargo was very good for Casey last week. 16 disposals for an experienced AFL player in a lower league is, at best good. I’d say he was ok.

Point missed… 🤔

If this is to occur, does this mean we get our first round pick back?

Fixed it for you GW. What’s your thoughts on his progression as a player?

Now can we comment on Kolt’s footballing ability?

Therefore at his age he is thinking of retirement, not semi-retired. TMac gives his all on field and the training track. @bluey likes put out of date jam on most things. His forward days are over, but his impact down back is not.

When did TMac semi retire? Last I looked he is still full time. Serious question

Fixed until our next loss, then talk will open up for a trade for McKay, Lord, Harvey Jnr, etc etc. Add in Jeffo not having enough mongrel, being weak and VFL standard only… On a serious note, I tend to believe Jeffo is the type who needs time to settle into higher leagues before he impacts. Similar to when he eased into VFL level. Belief is this young man’s issue, he has footy smarts. Yesterday was an improvement and he needs more improvement moving forward. He is young and will improve if managed well by our coaches. Keep on playing him to give him his taste on what is needed to perform with the big boys. Another big pre season is needed prior to the 2026 season.

Not sure where you are going with this/me SWYL???

No, lots of people remembering our years post 2021 SWYL.

Lots of nobodies on this site PF..

🤞 the above mentioned are of similar spawn to Mr Ablett snr and Mr Ashcroft.

It does to me 🤩

Last I looked, 6 goals down

They are getting beaten by a better side atm

Shifting the deck chairs hoping for sun… but I don’t see a lot at Casey to be bold at selection either….

The coach being over rated is a ridiculous comment. They drive the method and how the team plays whilst utilising the list they have at their disposal. What the coach does not have full control over is list management, fitness staff and recruitment. The coach has the ability to influence these areas and what they need to fulfil their coaching philosophy. The football manager needs to put the right people in pace to create a cohesive system and Richardson has failed in this regard.

Woooow Weeee, BT giving it to Cornes in the commentary box. It seems even his colleague’s don’t like his negative point of view either. I’ve been hearing Hodge counteract Kane many times all year as well….,

Crowded Blues forward line and they manufacture a goal under difficulty. The Lions use system and pressure and create a nice goal. Reminds me of watching the Dees, unfortunately…

Using the JVR ruck stat, is akin to using Spargo’s effective kicks into the forward line. I could not care less about the percentage stats, the fact is, if you can only do it minimal times in a game that has hundreds of disposals and thousands of stats, it means little. jVR matches up on the oppositions second ruck option too. I’d like to see Max’s stats if he had the luxury of playing on lesser rucks/players.

Depth and role players is one the issues with the list. With have high end talent and promising youngsters. We need to get good players, with good work ethic who can play a role. It’s why McVee is important.

I don’t want add to the vitriol towards Goody, some are too harsh on him! But the media training and messaging with Goody is way too much and been heard too many times. Learnings, Melbourne man, play the Melbourne way, etc. It’s tiresome 😴🥱
