Did anyone actually see any of his 4 goals ?

Ive seen very little to think he is ready to compete at AFL level so far. 
 

Sick of hearing nuffy supporters begging for Fullerton and Jefferson.

Thanks for pointing this out, here I was thinking you wanted to delist him.

You mean you were only partially invested in it throughout the year?

Yee gads!

Im all in favour of a game before the seasons end but imo thats all he's physically ready for...ie give him a taste to get him invested in having the pre season of his life.

I am a fan of Jeffo, though not as big as Picket Fence and have posted since last year I thought he would make it, given time.

While I am happy for him to get a game this year, we shouldn’t expect too much, given the way we are playing and the fact that he will be nervous and won’t have played with most of his teammates before.

I hope we don’t start rubbishing him if his first game is a poor one. He is showing a bit now and hopefully he and JVR can form a great key forward combo for us for years to come.

I am one of those who didn’t think he’d make it at the start of the season. I am still a tad skeptical but I am 100% aligned to Fence in that he should be played to expose him to the level prior to next year.

My expectations for him this year are low; hit the contest hard, show some nous in drawing the footy and chase defensively. Anything above and beyond that is a win at this stage.

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.

You think he’d rock up not knowing how we’re tracking right now? He’s not a stranger to our team. He’d know only too well what to expect. There are professionals at the club who would be preparing him for a debut regardless of how we’re currently doing.

Even Jeffo’s mum is not as big a fan as Pickett Fence. 🤣

He's kicked a bag on more than one occasion, the time has come to give Big Jeffo a taste of AFL footy.

Give the lad something to strive for and possibly cement his position over the pre season.

It's time to unleash Big Jeffo into the big time.

You’re like the coherent, sedate, perfectly sane version of Pickett Fence.

Yep agree.

JVR has been on record saying that those AFL games in his first year gave him the insight into how hard he needed to work in the off season in terms of his strengths and fitness. 

Pretty much said that getting a feel for senior bodies is what set him up for a strong pre season in terms of knowing here he had to get to compete against the bigger bodies.

If the AFL creates a new rule that WINS in Rounds 22-24 count as 4 points for the following year for teams outside of the finals as a sort of handicap on the finals teams , does that mean we can play Jeffo? It's technically a 2025 game then!

Are you implying this is my only sensible, incisive and knowledgeable Football post? Coz you’re not far wrong, it probs is 😅

PF, generally a lot of what you say is utter cr@p imvho. But I absolutely love your passion for certain players, in this case our boy Matty J. And fwiw I have a feeling he will debut this week. 🤞🏽

Where are we at now for Jefferson's goal tally this year? He must be above 30 now, that's with a few games early in season in defence.

Has played 16 games this year and has kicked 29.19

If you want to include last year, he's played a total of 36 VFL games and has kicked 52 goals in the two years he's played VFL.

I think I heard during the broadcast that he was the leader in AFL listed players goal kicking ladder.

he's 8th on the vfl goalkicker's tally with 29.19 from 16 games, of which i think the first three were played in defence

averages per game

  • 9.6 disposals
    • 6.2 kicks
    • 3.4 handballs
  • 3.8 marks
  • 1.9 tackles
  • 2 goals a game (probably closer to 2.5, 3 for games played forward)

His stats might be a bit better if not for his poor technique and execution when kicking for goal - lots of OOTFs and not making the distance efforts I suspect 

This is an area of his game that needs a lot of work - that and his second efforts which to be fair seem to be improving slightly

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
