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.

Making up things a normal part of your repertoire?

Nice self-own.

Feel free to let me know where that was said by me.....

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
    This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

    After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
