    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: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
