    Hopefully Aidan Johnson can be around the Hayden McLean mark, from Sydney.

    A very serviceable forward that helps out in the ruck, solid contested mark inside 50 and kicks 20-25 goals a year.

    Might be too much of a stretch to expect that from Johnson, but that could be his ceiling and we’d certainly benefit from it.

    Johnson is already overated by many on this site! In the 4 or 5 training sessions i saw before Christmas I saw none of the hype generated here! He will be handy on occasions and in fact Campbell is more likely!! Jeffo was recruited as a KEY forward! Happy to revisit this at end of the year but Jeffo is a more natural and smart forward which will see him do well when he debuts

    Agree about Jeffo but he may get his chance having  to replace AJ or another forward. 
    Wont be JVR or only Turner if injured or even perhaps Fritta. 
    But definitely agree re Jeffo as having very good forwards skills along with Disco learning or having some already.

    Oh, I would love that! The unfortunately- nicknamed Pedo was a terrific player, I think, for his commitment and versatility and capacity to take an important mark at the right time.

    Big fan of Cam's. Also very courageous despite being undersized to play ruck/key position and kicked the footy a country mile.

    If his ceiling is Hayden McLean any hope I had for him is doused instantaneously 😂

    if Jeffo kicks 10 during a Casey match sim but no one is there to see it, did it really happen?

    Hopefully Jeffo can get more than 3 touches a game like hes done for the past 3 seasons, that would be a good starting point.

    If he gets 3 touches for 3 goals every week, I'll put up with that.

    I find it hard to see him getting regular games unless we have injuries. How many large forwards can we fit in? We need a second ruck so Vander can play forward full time. I doubt that is Jefferson. Perhaps Vander continues as second ruck and Jefferson plays KPF role.

    You must have missed last half of 2024. If you are going to comment please br accurate.

    Goody  would not have made Jeffo an emergency 3 weeks in a row at the end of the season without the actual improvement he has actually made. 

    Many in the Club are looking forward to him continuing on with his impressive development 

    It is disappointing to read of criticism that is inaccurate. 

    Credit where credit is due please.

    I am also of the opinion  that he has only been at the club for TWO years previous not THREE.

    Agree 

    Johnson will not be a huge possession earner but his touches marks and handballs will be very good for the team and his other forwards.

    He will also take the premier opposition defender most likely that means JVR is not quite under as much pressure with Turner ( or Jeffo) the third banana. Happy days for Fritta and the others will also be able to be much more positive as forwards. 

    No one is sending their No1 key back to AJ over JVR

    I’m guessing Hunch and Johnson will be competing for the 3rd tall spot. Can Hunch cover in the ruck?

    Doubt it.... I actually think there's two options for round 1

    1. JVR, Turner and Johnson as R/F

    2. Jeffo, Turner and JVR as R/F

    There is a third option where Petty is in, but I prefer him back.

    I'd like to see Jefferson start at full forward with JVR at centre half forward.

    The forward line to look like:

    Langford Van Rooyen Chandler

    Fritsch Jefferson Pickett

    Other Forward Options: Turner, Johnson, Fullarton, Kentfield (talls); Melksham, Sparrow, Tholstrup, McAdam (mid-size); Sharp, Brown, Moniz-Wakefield (smalls) - Petracca on/ball & forward - Petty & McDonald could also play forward as required.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
