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

  • NON-MFC: Round 12

    Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

  • REPORT: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
