Insipid at the end at definitely time to go. To suggest another Club would even consider a lifeline is an absolute joke!!

Grow up.

There is a time and place for it. This is not it.

    Yes noted those skilful players in the Jeffy highlights package! Traded out Watts and Kent for more grunt oh well. Gee we could use a 2015 Jeffy now with his speed and goal sense. But as I have said in the past did our game plan of 2017/18 kill him? High forward press, congested forward line, multiple forward entries but  no space to run. Looking at his highlights package he worked best when he had space and was one on one. 

    Earl there is no one in the AFL that does 'congested forward line' better.

    Everyone keeps saying there's nothing about our game plan they can dentify with.  Well i beg to differ!

    The club obviously realises this strength and has removed all silk/X factor players now in preference for meat n potato types and ball hackers.  Good on them for thinking outside the box i say.

    You watch....this is gonna pay off.  Maybe not in 2020 but mark my words it'll be worth the wait!

    thanks Jeffy. 

     

    And  WE GOT RID OF HIM??

    FFS who replaces him?? Spargo?? Chandler?? Wagner??

    shocking decision IMV

    Watch this come back and haunt us, I reckon another club will pick him up and he will play well.

    Thanks Jeffy, loved watching you play!

    Dec played two AFL games for two wins. A 100% win rate is a very rare thing at our club. Well done, kid.

    Jeffy was wonderful at his best. A great contributor. Farewell both.

    Keilty was the talisman. stats don't lie !!get him back in !!

    Jeffy played some great footy for us when we were still on struggle street, and was electrifying at his very best. 

    As I mentioned on the podcast last night, his career numbers are pretty damn good. 

    Jeffy: 185 games for 321 goals

    Cyril: 189 games for 275 goals

    Happy trails Jeff. Provided a lot of thrills and magic at crucial times. Sad to see him go.

    Obviously I must be missing something that the recruiters are privy to and I am not.

    From the outside he looks like the single most capable player of kicking 3+ goals in a game

    It's true you get 1 dud game for every 4 games played, but in those 3 other games you are guaranteed 1+ goals. He has a goal sense that the others simply do not, and causes oppositions to panic just knowing he is around. He also gives away goals and his pressure is no worse than others.

    This year he had a terrible run with injuries (2 shoulders this year), and when he did get on the ground suffered from our mids bombing the ball into the 50m zone directly to the opposition. This curtailed his ability to get to the drop of the ball at the feet of T McDonald etc.

    At 30 years old, why wouldn't have we put him on a 1year contract on reduced coin and let him see how he went (hopefully fit after a pre-season). If we really think we're a chance to rebound into the finals then his experience would count. Otherwise delisting him seems to me to reek of a club hitting the "re-build" button

    And yet i never heard Broocy "growl" out his name once....

    Go figure.

    I agree entirely. There are, I assume, factors we don't know about. He did seem to go off the boil towards the latter part of last year - personal matters to do with family by the sound of it - and this season was ruined by 2 shoulder injuries and our woeful forward delivery. If he had been willing I would have loved to see him play on.

    I saw him at the Shepp game and have a photo of the contest when he did his shoulder. Looked really hungry for the ball before he got injured and i said to myself "Now THIS is the Jeffy we need this year". [censored] !!

     

    Shame for the bloke that he got injured and didnt return to his best for that and other reasons. ( *I have no idea what they were)

    At his best he was a huge asset. Seemed like a genuinely nice fella off the field too. I would love a night at he pub with him and Nev.

    All the best Jeffy, i hope life after footy is great for you.

    There's a decent list I'd have cut before him. We now don't have a single AFL quality small forward on our list.

    All the best Jeffy, you were a terrific addition to MFC. Hope life after footy is good to you. Thanks.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
