max gruzewksi ahead of him with 30.19 from 13 games

Played 3 AFL games this year

Kicked 2 goals in his AFL debut. Not much else to write home about though albeit from limited game time. Pretty sure he was injured and subbed out of his last game.

He would be a great trade target for us. Imagine yelling Rooooo and/or Gruuuuuu everytime the the ball goes into our forward line!

    Being a bit of a tragic I try and watch most Casey games either live or on replay 

    His kicking technique needs work because imo he often gets too close to the man on the mark and as a result he is forced to kick the ball higher than he needs to. This means his kicks are more susceptible to being pushed offline due to any wind and they can lack penetration and fall shorter than would otherwise be the case 

    I am not saying I’m an expert but I also think his ball drop looks a bit high which also may result in less consistent contact 

    He isn’t terrible and I really think it’s a matter of making some small adjustments to get better results 

    will fit right in with our AFL side

    Actually I know inaccuracies have cost us games before but Fritta, JVR and Dan Turner all have pretty good goal kicking routines

    No Demon media vision announcing Jefferson's debut as yet. Seems unlikely.  Disappointing.  Seems ridiculous to follow the JVR model. We were in the finals battle and the not the right time time for him. We are out of contention now.

    Most announcements come arvo Wednesday. They'd have training and announce then or after, media released later.

    Also, taking a look back at the 2022 draft national and rookie drafts...

    • 24 key position players (193cm+) were drafted
    • 7 have debuted. 5 have played 6 or less games
    • Only Tylar Young and Aaron Cadman have played a lot (29/28 games)

    Yes we'd like Jeffo to be further along but he's not alone. If he gets a game this year, he'll be ahead of two-thirds of the KPP drafted in 2022.

    “He's getting closer and closer all the time. We're rapt with Jeffo,” Goodwin said

    “It's a really tough time as a developing key forward when you get drafted and how long it can take. And his last eight to 10 weeks has been fantastic in the ways developed his game.

    “Whether that's a game this week or in the coming weeks, we'll wait and see.”

    Which means Goody's delusional obsession with playing finals this year means that great forward Petty 6 goals probably gets another gig. BUT Simon dont you realise we are sinking!

    Agreed but No we have sunk but it wont look good on his Resume if he doesnt  make the Finals he is a very selfish person that does not respect  his assistants views just take a look at our so called game plan changed earlier in the season  but it  still is not suitable to our list

    WAKE UP SIMON BEFORE ITS TOO LATE

    Who is delusional? We are not "sinking": this year is gone - but he knows he can't say that. And I don't blame him for the bad year either, as I have made clear on many threads.

     

    I think it is good that he is not rushing the development of a young key forward.

    Ever heard of a coach saying the season is done before it is?

    Kills the players and the fans. 

    I am sure he knows the reality better than we do.

    100%. Imagine a coach giving up on his players? Just because he knows that finals are unlikely doesn’t mean he shouldn’t turn up trying to win every game.

    Perfect apprenticeship for the seniors at Melbourne I would have thought.

    Keeping the standards high. As high as mount Kosciuszko.

    (I'm sure even when written, you felt a churning in your stomach knowing that it was inevitably mispronounced in my head)

    Haha, yep! Kościuszko has been anglicised and sounds quite different in pronunciation. Don't even get me started on the man who named the tallest mountain in Australia - Paweł Strzelecki 🤣😂

    Putting aside the "question" as to whether or not a coach should be aiming to play finals (!) or manifesting a never-say-die attitude, there are plenty of coaches who try to finish off the season as strongly as possible to bring positivity and optimism going into the pre-season. "We may have missed the finals, but look at how well we did in the last couple of games, yadda yadda."

    I also would have thought that throwing everything at denying the Pies a place in the finals is a hill worth dying on.

    I doubt Jeffo will get a game this week. Goody hinted he is close but also hinted Taommo will get a gig in May's place.

    Plus a 1st gamer KPF up against an in for PA. Tough.

    If we lose this week and can't make the 8 and he plays well in the VFL i think he would be a reasonable chance to come in against GC.

    The club would constantly be the VFL players on where they stand etc. so Jeffo would firmly know where he stands.

    I always thought it was 'chips, wine and a pide loaf' in reference to random hangover leftovers. The whole song has a 'hangover and go again' vibe anyway.

    But back to President Jeffo; I have taken a lot of comfort from your enthusiasm about him, not just because of the slithera-dodging dedicated observation but also recalling your profound exasperation of yesteryears when we drafted a whole string of very lightly built kids who collectively got shoved out of the way.

    So when a lightly built and not especially mongrelly young tall gets a nod from PF, I reckon there's reason for optimism.

    • 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.
