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

Welcome Matthew Jefferson! Very excited for this pick although patience will be a virtue.  I’ve been solely AFLW focused for the last little while so read this whole thread in one go and it makes

He was born in 2004. I have socks that are older.

The funny thing is that Jeremy McGovern, the 4 time All Australian, didn’t even play seniors until he was 22 years old.

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.

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

Attention seeking behaviour me thinks.

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.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo

    WELCOME 2024 by Meggs

    It’s been hard to miss the seismic global momentum happening in Women’s sport of late. The Matildas have been playing to record sell-out crowds across Australia and ‘Mary Fowler is God’ is chalked onto footpaths everywhere. WNBA basketball rookie sensation Caitlin Clark has almost single-handedly elevated her Indiana Fever team to unprecedented viewership, attendances and playoffs in the USA.   Our female Aussie Paris 2024 Olympians won 13 out of Australia’s all-time record 18 gol

    EPILOGUE by Whispering Jack

    I sit huddled in near darkness, the only light coming through flickering embers in a damp fireplace, the room in total silence after the thunderstorm died. I wonder if they bothered to restart the game.  No point really. It was over before it started. The team’s five star generals in defence and midfield ruled out of the fray, a few others missing in action against superior enemy firepower and too few left to fly the flag for the field marshal defiantly leading his outnumbered army int
