Supreme_Demon 4,144 Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 If the Demons miss out on drafting Aaron Cadman who is a top 5 draft pick, it is only logical that we look at the next best tall forward draft option. This would be Matthew Jefferson from the Oakleigh Chargers. Here is further information about him on the AFL website: https://www.afl.com.au/draft/prospects/matthew-jefferson Matthew Jefferson also made the 2022 Under 18s All Australian side. Furthermore here is a YouTube video about Matthew Jefferson oddly enough done by an Englishman: Personally, I think we should seriously consider drafting Matthew Jefferson. Especially if we miss out on Aaron Cadman. Teaming up Matthew Jefferson (or Aaron Cadman) with Jacob van Rooyen would definitely bode well for the future of the Demons forward line. Particularly when both Tom McDonald and Ben Brown retire in the next few seasons. 6 2 Quote

Lord Travis 10,819 Posted October 4, 2022 Posted October 4, 2022 (edited) On draft predictions, you're right he's the next highest rated KPF after Cadman. He's not overly tall and is very slight though at sub 80kgs, so it will be years before we see him at AFL level if he makes it. From the clips I've seen, he' pretty soft and gets outbodied and shrugged off easily by smaller opponents. Cadman is taller and already 90kgs, so he's far more AFL ready. Jefferson had a few good games where he kicked a bag, but he's been inconsistent, so you have to wonder if his good games were just playing against poor opposition. Not against it as we need more tall forwards, but there might be other more physically capable KPF options later in the draft. Edited October 4, 2022 by Lord Travis 3 1 Quote

Gawndy the Great 9,011 Posted October 5, 2022 Posted October 5, 2022 Looks more like a 2nd tall. We already have JVR taking on those duties. 1 1 Quote

JimmyGadson 3,455 Posted October 13, 2022 Posted October 13, 2022 Scarily similar to Watts' second efforts at this same point which is too much of a warning sign imo. Looks neat, moves well but I can't see that competitive streak that we desperately need in a key forward. Especially given we have Brown, Fritsch and now Schache who all lack that defensive appetite and those strong defensive habits. It's a no from me. 4 1 Quote
