    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.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
