You'd think he'd be given substantial game time against North and Free. 

if he does, i expect he'll be in the rd 1 team by my reckoning

for the most part, goodwin likes to play a settled side in the pre-season

    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. 

    Well he has been known to gift people games ie McAdam

    Um this is a JEFFO Watch thread Exclusively!

    Haha happy to have Melky on watch too, would love to see him play all games he is so important both physically and mentally to our team...would love to see both of them in the forward line somewhere, Melky being the wise sage to the young guns like Jeffo and JVR and Turner.

    Oh yeah! 53 games and only a 1.38 goal average!

    Lets compare that to some other AFL players who are ‘up to it’.

    Bobby Hill 88 games 1.10 av

    Nick Watson 18 games 1.39 av

    Jack Ginnivan 65 games 1.32 av

    Kysaiah 106 games 1.52 av

    Please nothing to do with Jeffo and he ultimately did not play but was an emergency. 

    My point was to be accurate and not just repeat rubbish from many people who have never seen Jeffo play as an improved VFL player who kicked 30 goals in 17 games at the same average as JVR did in his pre and second VFL season with Casey.

    You also got his years wrong saying 3 and not correctly 2. 

    Not your greatest post Jnrmac.

    It's been a Goodwin trademark for the last 3 years. Rushing players back in despite them being unfit or out of form - Gawn, Salem, Petty, May, Lever, Langdon, Spargo & others all played when they clearly should not have.

    Yep May definitely shouldnt have played in the GF.  Salem is always going to be injury prone so he never comes back...

    No point in having everyone cherry ripe and not playing in the finals.

    Because despite people glazing over vfl players our depth has been bog ordinary and our best players at 70% fit are better than the alternatives. You also get a year like 2021 health wise about once in 100 years, most of the time you’re carrying guys below their best. I hope there’s most of a squad mentality this year but it’s going to take guys like Jeffo showing he’s physically and mentally ready for that opportunity.

    The worst of those errors was Spargo in the opening round last year. That was a costly and strange panic decision.

    Yes and Max should not have played in the Sydney game either - he had the flu & was very poor. He has to stop playing when he's unfit or injured. Maybe that was ok when he was younger but it is now detrimental to the team.

    It's all grist, though, for his improvement mill.

    Nice self-own.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
