His arm size is looking a bit too good for demonlanders.

I know I am old but I have absolutely no idea what you are saying. Please explain! Sorry I couldn't help the last sentence but would still like to know.⁵

I think it’s a reference to the muscle definition in Jefferson’s arms, as can be seen in the photo above. But what would I know…I’m old as well.

Making up things a normal part of your repertoire?

Nice self-own.

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

Not your greatest post 58er

 

Apologies JNRMAC 

It was DCTRACCA who made the errors.

Over to you TRACCA?

It's not hype. It's hope. It's the off season. It's a time for the optimism of the supporters to grow and look forward to the next season.

The houses have all been trained down. Players have put on muscle in just a few weeks of holidays and all the problems with the game plan will magically be solved. 

At the moment, Johnson is a Schrödinger's cat. He could be the next Tony Lockett or he could be a complete bust. 

Let the optimists have their time.

Far better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right.

Errrrrr we are 14th

That may only be for the last 6/8 games of 2024. That doesn’t mean we are stuck in that position permanently.

We could have easily made the finals without Trac and Clarry’s last half season. It was rare air without the two champs.

What does “ a bit too good for demo leaders” mean?

Jeffo owes it to Chris in Camberwell to have a 'break out" year.

He'll blow a bloody woofer valve if he doesn't.

Pressure's on!


Will play round 1!!

Perhaps that a lot of posters have called out his previously thin build? He has bulked up quite a bit now.

Let’s wait and see mate. 

17 goals in a VFL season, 4th at club, is hardly going to be keeping the oppo coaches up at night thinking about match ups. His best game was 3 goals against the Northern Bullants who have to beg local kids to play with them. Hes a great story if he gets a game but he wont be in the team for his scoreboard impact.

People are essentially lazy I think.

I just had the first chemotherapy session of my return, and feeling ok so far…but it is early days yet 😁. Hopefully this doesn’t spoil my 2025 too much; I will be on this for a few months, I suspect.

Oh hell sorry to hear that news. Best of luck for the year ahead.

True, but at least I had almost a year off the ‘gear’ 😁

Jeffo”s best haul was 5 goals against the Zebras. 27 goals in 15 VFL matches. He was played in different positions prior to these games. 
 

The kid can play.

There was a period last year where we had 4 tall forwards in the VFL team, and Jeffo was played in the forward pocket and moved to defence during that period. I recall in games where it was just him and Kentfield as our tall forwards, he looked very good when as the focal point of our attack.

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. 

Goody can have his opinion on him thats totally fine, and I will be more than happy to be proven wrong. I watch every VFL game and still dont rate him as an AFL level player, and the stats dont lie....

 

Ill give credit when credit is due. Hopefully he can have more impact on the game instead of over the back goals ala Jenkins.

  • 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?
