    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.

    Lurve this thinking! Except Petty Back exclusively!

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
