Fwiw that's now 4 blokes in the 22 who have played in a premiership.

Surely has to improve the collective unit.

 

[Dinkers]

Dinkers I seem to recall you mentioning that Monky was critical of our HF's not pushing up far enough.

Fingers crossed Spargo can get back to full fitness. He'd help with this and the connection with our deeper forwards.

Yes he was critical, I thought Curtis did towards the end of the season and Zurhaar did at times. I doubt Harvey or Payne can or have the inclination to do so.

It is the reason we wanted Charlie I do believe.

 

[My Left Foote]

Listened to both of Charlie’s interviews with DERWAYNE and TRADE RADIO, he speaks very well, I think he will naturally be a mature leader for the younger boys. A very passionate BFNAAK is the icing on the cake. Really hoping he can get back to full fitness and play some good football for us.

 

[DarkPhoenix]

Good head on his shoulders by the sounds of things.
Interested to know what role they have penciled in for him

We officially have double the premiership players of Hawthorne. That'll show em

I'm concerned about our aggregate Insta numbers if Jy leaves though.

Not to worry, Toby Pink will bring us home with more meal updates as he forgoes Europe in favour of Victor Harbour

Great point on Curtis, his work rate has improved immensely. Gets right up the ground but still manages to be dangerous i50.

 

[Arthur Cloke]

Has a good set of shoulders above his head. Go well Charlie.

 

[tazaa]

Nahas to present his jumper on his first match

loving your work of late mate

 

[marklovesbeer]

Well, listening to him talk has got a few points with me. Spoke well. Seems keen. Could offer a bit.

Good luck Chaz.

Only caught up on the Dwayne interview today.

Agree, Charlie comes across as very measured and intelligent. And genuine BFNAAK.

Caleb Daniel sounded intelligent too, didn't he.

Ah well, guess the BFNAAK is a genuine point of difference. Going by X and Arch, it provides the impetus to at least ****ing try all the ****ing time

 

[kanga kanga kanga]

I think spargoat might just be our best recruit this year.

[hoffseason gains 01]

I would’ve cracked up if he mentioned the DJ shitboy nickname

 

[King Corey]

Proper certified BFNAAK. Like it.

Anyways, is Charlie going to be taking JK’s spot or will they be playing together? Also what does this mean for Banch? We’ve got munchkins coming out of our ears.

Given our commitment, Spargo will definitely be given every chance to start and succeed.

 

[Topparoo]

All the best Charlie, here's hoping you make a real difference in 2026

 

[KangaRooster]

Scores against from shocking turnovers, and easy ones out the back of the press bury us, but we also leave plenty of goals on the table as a result of piss poor forward 50 entires.

Even just getting more inside 50 marks completed lets the team catch their breath and set up properly for the kick in on a miss.

I can see what they’re thinking, we just need him to get fit and focused, there’s a spot for him.

[BlueanWhiteKanga]

I'll follow suit and say I reckon he could be useful, IF.... IF he can stay fit.
Of that, given recent years (26 games in 3 years - to put into context, Caleb Daniel

played 23 this year alone) then I'm not overly confident on it.

If he can get himself in tip top shape and stay injury free, could work out.
Alternatively, he could be a wreck and we may only get 20 odd games out of him. Both are plausable.
