    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

    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.

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
