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.

sounds right

 

something would've changed at selection meeting last night if there's no Jefferson debut video out today

They did talk about it in media conference though...maybe they're tricking us all because they know everyone is on Jeffo watch.

Yep and why would he debut when you have that great accumulator of goals in Petty who has kicked copious bags of goals totalling 6 this year! Yep just no need for an inform forward at present!

Just curious to know if you will bag him just like you are bagging Petty when Matthew finally gets a chance and gets 2 possessions and zero goals?

Not saying that will definitely happen but there's a fair chance and I'd hope that you then acknowledge that he has a long way to go, and your constant nauseating carry on for him to be selected was a bit premature

Are you saying you would rather continue to play an underperforming Petty to the blooding of a largely in form Jefferson? Also remembering yes he HAS a long way to go but, given form ( Remember that element ) Petty hasn't deserved a game as a forward all year! It isn't as much as bagging Petty as much as the continued stupidity of trying to make him into a forward which he just is not. Everyone knows this except our stubborn footy department and Coach! Just my opinion... of course! Petty is and was a very good defender, and Matt Jefferson in time will be an excellent forward, again just my opinion!

I like the fact we all have different opinions and challenge things - but it just gets a little tedious tbh when someone continues to endlessly and frankly pointlessly keep posting the same thing. 

Good for you that you think he is ready - personally I don't but acknowledge that when the season is 100% dead in terms of finals then maybe he is given a taste. That way he can realize first-hand just how much work he has to do to play football in the AFL

I'm not being critical of the young man and genuinely hope he has a great career but having watched him in a lot of Casey games he is still a long way off - just my opinion!

You do realise you also have a bunch of posts on this page in opposition to Picket Fence?

Just saying...


That’s seriously disappointing from the coaching staff. 
 

They had the chance to get some minutes into Jefferson 

 

and the chance to look at our future with petty back and Jeffo forward

 

instead we’re back to Tomlinson and Petty forward. Yuck

Petty hasn’t been as bad as you make out and Jefferson will likely get a game once Port [censored] us.

Why not see what he's got? Imagine if he explodes onto the scene and kicks a bag in 3 games!! Wouldn't that then change our recruitment strategy/ thoughts? eg Jake Waterman. Agreed, small sample size but we have unearthed another key forward it could be a game changer.

that isnt happening. he doesnt have the intensity for afl level right now anyway. Jeffo will get a go in the 2nd last or last game. Looking forward to him getting 0 goals and everyone going crazy about him playing.

Jefferson gets selected. Doesn’t kick 10 goals on debut. Demonlanders call to trade him. 

The trade being for Weid.

Now you are being redic Picket. Just let up and stop inciting others and wanting the argument. 
 

Attention seeking behaviour me thinks.

Kate has been very silent.  She will back Goodwin until he decides it’s time to go.

Completely off topic, when is Pinstripe returning to the track?

Will have a jump out next week and hopefully racing by end of week.

If you are a horse follower I have Show Some Decorum Race 9 and Moonhaven Race 5 racing saturday at Moonee Valley.

Sorry to the non racehorse people and back to Jeffo, who I think will debut either against GC or Pies in the last game, just to give him a taste of senior football.

Very happy to take your money re no goals. His intensity at VFL level has come in leaps and bounds. Really hoping to see him in the last two weeks of the season.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • 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?
