    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.

    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!!

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

    • PREVIEW: Geelong

      "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
      Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
