    He's been miles off AFL ready to relatively recently, particularly in terms of fitness and second efforts.

    And he's still a mile off.

    So, maybe 4 ½ minutes away then?   (Not up to date with average time for a mile these days)

    I am a fan of Jeffo and have stuck fat.

    The decisions for the FD are probably is there a spot atm, is he ready to go at senior level, would a poor debut hurt him mentally and set him back and is he better than others available, or more deserving of an opportunity.

    Fullarton played in a final against us, plus other senior games, did ok and yet hasn’t got a game with us yet. Maybe this week will be his first.

    I am sure we have spoken to Jeffo about his progress many times and hopefully he is on board.

    Maybe he gets a game later or maybe another pre season is needed.

    Whatever, I am hopeful he will make it and when he comes in, he stays in, rather than being not ready and disappointing and setting him back.

     

    That rally is telling - Fullarton himself will no doubt be bitterly disappointed in that he was prpbably told he would be next man in if a tall forward, who cam relieve in the ruck, was needed.

    I'm potentially the one about to wear egg re. Jefferson. He's certainly taken some solid strides this season but the calls to play him feel very premature. 

    Roost - I reckon he will get a game or two late in the season only if finals are out oof contention.  Otherwise we can look forward to a stronger, hungrier Jeff round 1 (or round zero, maybe minus 1?) 2025

    Not that I disagree with you, but just an anecdote, a mate of mine is an agent for NHL players in NY and he has a 1st round pick gun (playing a few seasons now) who absolutely goes mental if anyone speaks about his weight. 

    Sounds like a lot of women I know - isn't it complaints from AFLW that lead to them no longer listing weight in player stats?

    Jeffo has a Flawless set shot routine, very Matthew Lloyd like!

    I randomly had some footage of Dunstall and Lockett representing Victoria come up in my feed, and it reminded me of the dead-straight, efficient and uncomplicated set shot kicking routines those players had. None of this wierd ball spinning, ball jiggling, leg hopping, stuttering run ups many modern players display.

    lockett's set shot routine is why i call tom mcdonald 'plugger mac'

    eerily similar routine, and effective result

    I think Goody knows we need a seasoned body in the front half that is going to help bring the ball to ground and can stop their interceptors from cleaning up back there.

    Without Petty and given the opposition, I can see why the FD have gone with Melksham, but I think Jefferson is close and will play this year.

    I doubt he will.

    Not AFL level fit enough yet. 

    And whilst he has improved his second efforts, they are nor instinctive yet.

    Are we anticipating the delisting of Bayley Fritsch, Max or Ben King, or Jamarra Ugle-Hagan due to lack of second efforts at end of year 2024

    McQualter was just interviewed and said he comes up in MC every week now and is really close. I believe his words were "really close".

    Not quite sure what point you are making here.

    We should select Jefferson because there are key forwards who aren't great with their second efforts?

    A better comparison would be Sam Weideman vis a vis the key reason his AFL career is a bust.

    That's great.

    They wont select him if they don't think he is ready. And they obviously know where he is at in terms of meeting his KPIs etc.

    If he is selected fans can be confident he is ready to roll.

    Indeed.

    I think there's too much noise from the FD. He'll play this year if his form continues IMO.

    We'll see.

    Yes I meant the weed. I don't think I ever saw him take a contested grab. Re  Jefferson, jury still out for me but I haven't seen him the last 2 weeks. Time is a funny thing.  Just a couple of years ago People wanted tmac and milkshake gone because they were cooked and the weed was the thing.

    Interesting parallel. 

    Matthew Lloyd who played just 5 games in his first season (for 7 goals), and in his second season didn't play consecutive games in the firsts until round 19, where he established his place by startling everyone with 7 goals, before then only kicking another seven total from his remaining six games. Didn't really build anything interesting until his third season, from then he spent the next 12 seasons kicking 3 goals a game.

    That'll do for a Jeffo trajectory adjusted for forward line shrinkflation.

    That's what I mean by the FD discussing it publicly. Goody and now McQualter.

    Disagree Binman, if you look closely Jeffo is not like Weeds IMV. He takes one grab marks and seldom gets pushed under the ball.

    Another 3 goals and 7 marks to Jeffo in a game where Casey were thrashed by Brisbane's VFL team

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
