Nah.

You look like a complete [censored] out of this.

A quick google search would tell you exactly what you need.

    Part time Johnny must be interested in footy on a part time basis if you know what I mean. Maybe he needs to go back to 5 days a week if you know what I mean.

    If Jefferson was 5kgs heavier in his draft year we would be licking our lips. I like his output in his first 2 games at Casey. He looks a player! 

    And he has some sh.t in him, as well as being a very good contested mark, even as a skinny teenager.

    I think we have a very good one here and 8-10 kilos of muscle will really make him.

    After a slow start to the year, off an injury interrupted pre-season mind you, Jefferson is starting to hit his straps.

    Spent a few games back early in the season and when forward was perhaps impeded by our other talls in Brown, Schache, Fullarton, KFW and Verrall resting forward at times.

    He's now kicked 15 goals in 9 games with 13 of those coming in the last 5 weeks for an average of 2.6 goals a game.

    I think we're just scratching the surface of his potential with a seemingly solid ground level game coupled with a strong aerial game. He might not get a debut this year but I think he'll get more than a taste next year. Reckon he will pair well with JvR.

    Like many on here, I had my doubts he would be good enough for AFL. Unlike many on here, I refused to blame Jeffo, the club and act with any venom toward him. 
     

    I’m now confident he will be playing AFL at some stage. He is very much like Fritta. Low possession getter, but has big impact in the fwd line. 
     

    What has surprised me most is his grunt, conviction and desperation on ground. This seems to have improved this year. 
     

    Good thread bump @Nascent

    Not ready yet physically. Needs a big off season working on his strength and stamina

    Many said this against Windsor ( and Robbie Flower).

    Yes physical development is necessary but not the only requirement for AF L selection. 

    Jeffo has already commenced that this summer and put on about 6 kg.  What he needed to do was start going in and flying for the ball plus following up on second and third efforts. 
    He is doing  that now and many here are lauding him for it also eating large doses of humble pie. 

    The facts are if he plays another 5/6 games and converts etc. the surely he can be tried as say at half  forward or even as a KP third tall to say Petty/ Disco L and JVR with Fritta as mid plus smalls around those 4. 

    There is no log book saying like in races max. Or min. Weight. Ability and good timing in a career for both Club and player should not take a backward step if it won’t  harm him in the long run.  ( This up to the Club to not do another Jack Watts, of course and we have learnt that lesson the hard way. )

    Who would you like in Round 17/18 say to debut?

    Jeffo

    Kentfield 

    Fullarton

    as our third tall if necessary?

    I lean to Jeffo if Luker does not hit the ground running T Casey or Fullarton has kicked goals galore there also.

    Has displayed more grunt im the last few weeks, which for him = increased confidence, he is not that far away from a debut methinks!

    As a tall key forward, physical development is absolutely necessary in today's game. Imagine when Jefferson comes up against Sam Taylor, Harris Andrews and Jacob Weitering, he'd get physical monstered.

    A winger or outside player in Windsor case can get away with a smaller frame because they're not smack bang right in the middle of the contested work so obviously they're not copping the big hits and one on one duels like key forward/defenders do.

    Jefferson is still a long way off it from a physical sense. Talent us there but.

    He's just starting to find his feet at VFL level, let's not destroy the kids confidence by putting him in a forward line that barely sees the ball. Next year will be the year for jeffo.

    Don't think he'd be matched against those you name, at least not for a while. He'd be more likely to get 2nd or 3rd tall defender. I think JVR and Petty would get those guys

    Maybe late this season if his VFL form holds up he will get a game to see how he goes and he can get an understanding of what he needs to do over the preseason to tackle 2025.

    Jeffo's stat line the last 5 weeks where he has seemingly found his feet is:


    K    H    D  M   T  G    B
    6.2 3.8 10 3.4 2  2.6 1.8

    If he improves on that for the next 5 weeks and we are sitting anywhere outside the bottom 8 then I would say throw him in just so he can get a taste of the AFL level.

    • WHAT’S NEXT? by The Oracle

      What’s next for a beleagured Melbourne Football Club down in form and confidence, facing  intense criticism and disapproval over some underwhelming recent performances and in the midst of a four game losing streak? Why, it’s Adelaide which boasts the best percentage in the AFL and has won six of its last seven games. The Crows are hot and not only that, the game is at the Adelaide Oval; yet another away fixture and the third in a row at a venue outside of Victoria. One of the problems the Demons have these days is that they rarely have the luxury of true home ground advantage, something they have enjoyed just once since mid April.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.
