Could never have guessed

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.

She is concerned with his consistency of keeping his bedroom clean… but picket fence has looked past this

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.

WOW WCW, Sensible, Incisive and knowledgeable football post! MORE OF THIS GAL!!!🤩

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
