Weid had talent! But no mongrel.

Mate, sometimes is best not to post anything, rather than revealing ignorance 

 

Depending on results I think the GWS would be a possible game to debut him.

Ok, Ok, I know he missed a sitter from not far out and yes he had Covid last week but 14 Possesions in a side where delivery was about as good as any under 12s game in The Basin in sub zero temperatures and mud up to your knees?. Surely, he needs to play and see what he has got!?? Has shown he can take contested grabs and usually very reliable kick for goal ! Season is Shot so Simon..... Time to BLOOD JEFFO and it starts NEXT WEEK!

Patience grasshopper

He'll come in 2 weeks time should we lose next week, and get a few games to end the season

Genuinely starting to think you have a pretty big bet on this bloke playing a senior game this season 

Based on what I’ve seen (and it’s been most Casey games this year) he is still well below the level required - unless of course the intensity at VFL level is way higher than AFL (it clearly is not) 

Yes he has shown glimpses in small cameos but he is way off the pace as a possible AFL KPF 

We need him to do a “McVee” over the summer - fingers crossed 🤞 

 

Jeffo was fantastic in the wet with 17 disposals. Could, should, have kicked more goals, but his wet weather contested marking was magnificent and his ground ball gets, tackling and intelligent, intuitive handballs/ tap ons, were brilliant! He simply must play for the rest of the season IMV! Time to blood him and next week is ideal! 

I agree with you PF, for the love of God, just get Jeffo in & play him for the rest of the season. Also young Brown should be selected ahead of Woewodin. We won't make finals now & we need to start getting games into these two.


Be interesting to give him a game against the Bulldogs this coming weekend.

"Okay, kiddo, our forward line has been our crucial weakness all year, and our season dies now if we lose this game, see what you can do."

Last night we had the 2023 #1 playing in Cadman as a KPF. I think i heard his name called maybe 2-3 times. He did nothing, but he is young and still getting used to the pace of AFL. Jeffo is at almost 2 years in the VFL and needs to be exposed to AFL footy to see what can learn over next pre-season. 

We are out of the finals, so we have nothing to lose now. I'd like GOody to start experimenting with 2025 structure. 

This includes Petty back to Defence so that JVR, Turner and Jeffo can all play in the forward line. 

What do we do with TMac? if he's not playing next year, give him a farewell game and he can ride the season out on the pine.

They also had a bloke called Jesse who is second in the Coleman race with 53 goals to date 

It’s a bit easier to carry a young developing tall in their side imho 

Besides Cadman is ahead of Jefferson  atm in terms of being physically ready - again just my opinion 

If we lose a couple more and it’s no longer possible to make finals then sure let’s try a few more young blokes - we are not quite there yet 

JEFFO ....MUST PLAY THIS WEEK,NO IFS OR BUTS.😎

Three things in life are certain:

1. Death

2. Taxes

3. Picket screaming for Jefferson's selection

I doubt Jefferson could have less impact than Melksham has in the past two weeks. My only fear is that our ball movement and forward structures are so dysfunctional that playing him at this time could be seriously detrimental to his confidence and development.

Um, he kicks goals on suburban ovals with Tsunamis, Snow, Blizzards, Neon lights,  Slitheras around his feet AND UNDER 11 STYLE DELIVERY!! I'm sure he will fit right in!!

Beside Gawn and May, he has the best set of hands on our list. He comes in next week and plays till seasons end!

I've said it here before, if 1 game in the AFL as detrimental impact on his confidence and development then he'll never make it at all.

If anything the exposure should have a positive impact, even if he struggles. It'll give him a real understanding of the requirements of AFL footy, which he can then take into the pre-season to get himself in a position to play regularly in 2025.


I'm not averse to giving Jeffo a go. He's a very smart player and, with a lift in intensity and fitness, could be a very good player in time. The other bonus would be shutting up Fence and his Jeffo fixation for a week. Having said that, while Port's defence might be better suited to him, they're still going to take one look at Jeffo vision and ragdoll him then run off him all game. It's just a matter of how much he would gain from the experience this year versus next.

I'd also like to see Sestan at this level. He certainly has the skillset but his fitness is way off so it would have to be as sub, (with a prayer he wouldn't be required for more than half a game). He's had two seasons to get his fitness up but still goes missing at Casey more often than not, so I wouldn't lose sleep over it if that's where he stays.

I think it’s time to have a look at Jeffo at AFL level. No point sending Maysie back out with sore ribs next week, plug Petty down back and bring Jefferson in for the rest of the season.

AFAIK Casey only have the one game left in the season, so he’s better off playing and developing in the main team rather than sitting idle 2 of the 3 remaining weeks.

I’m all down for a Jeffo debut…. But only if everyone on DLand promises not to start a ‘Delist Jeffo’ post when he doesn’t kick a goal in game 1

He'll either kick 6.1 or 1.6... no inbetween

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Collingwood

    Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
