Player Watch #13: Charlie Spargo - set to debut vs Brisbane

[roos_fanatic08]

I think thats the money buddy. Dont like it but is what it is

Picking the lesser of average compared to Konstanty/Fisher etc

 

[The Nostradamus]

1 step forward, 2 steps back for the match committee

Yep very meh selection
Give me Dova over him everyday

 

[Disco Dew]

Well, he's in North colours now, so I hope he kills it. Severe reservations about him but I'm used to those

Feel the same however I thought he was really good in the twos last week.

 

[Makeshift Park]

He's gonna be good.

 

[hoffseason gains 01]

He’s fat but I have hope he can improve our forward connection piece that has been sorely lacking in past weeks. Lower his eyes, hit some nice targets inside 50 and he’ll be in my good books.

1 step forward, 2 steps back for the match committee

What are you saying?
Bringing in a small fwd who played in a flag is a bad idea……
Do you not rate Spargo
Are you making some sort of comment about the Match Committee and team structure
It is like divining the I Ching

 

[Event Horizon]

Firstly, I'd wait and see if he's selected. The fact he has flown to Adelaide means FA, given Clarko did say today that the entire squad is flying over due to no VFL this week. But if he does play, I have no issue with it. We have no mids on the list who could replace FOS, therefore it was always gonna be one of Konstanty, Spargo or Dovaston

Yes
Reginald
i am saying bringing in a player with a bigger gut then me isn’t a good idea
we have been gifting players traded in games for years
what’s with you and the haikus?

 

[Kangaroos4eva]

He’s fat but I have hope he can improve our forward connection piece that has been sorely lacking in past weeks. Lower his eyes, hit some nice targets inside 50 and he’ll be in my good books.

That connection composure and tackling pressure is all we need from him. Some will be pleasantly surprised.

[marklovesbeer]

good luck.

 

[Marstermind]

For those desperate to know how many CS players we've had, or who was the debutant 300 players ago, sorry.

I'm currently travelling overseas and have none of the time, resources or inclination to provide such critical information right now.

I'll give our latest Shinboner his due honour when I return.

I commend you on your dedication Marstermind, there is an awful lot of work that goes into preparing your lists for each debutant.

EDIT: I've updated the list with the other three categories Marstermind includes when a premiership player or a player with more than 100 games experience makes their debut for North.

 

[Possession]

Low-key don't mind it at all. Good luck Charles.

 

[DuckYeah]

Hope you don't mind, I thought I'd give it a go and be your back-up.

Lol the number 13 is cursed

 

[DarkPhoenix]

All the best Spargs.

 

[Only Forwards]

Lol the number 13 is cursed

The number 14 is worse.especially in terms of seeing success.

 

[muttley45]

Good luck to him on his debut with us, i wonder if Paul will be there

 

[Hojuman]

Lol the number 13 is cursed

Crazy Horse Cowton ? #13

 

[Only Forwards]

Crazy Horse Cowton ? #13

+ Martin Pike.

 

[Hojuman]

+ Martin Pike.

Could be a six-time premiership player if results been different in '98 + '04.

 

[Ruckle]

Macca's logo still on the ball? Could be like a dog at the track with that motivation.

Was good in the 2nd's last week so we'll see I guess.

 

[Tas]

Hopefully he has a good game.

 

[CURVE]

Lol the number 13 is cursed

Not too cursed, it has appeared in 3 of our 4 VFL/AFL Premierships and both our AFLW Premierships.

 

[Errol Street]

WILL Surprise a few of the haters, Nostra, Dinkers and the rest
