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. Your numbers are way off… do your research before giving such a damming assessment. 1 Quote

If you weighed yourself 3 times in a day each number could be different. I'm pretty certain there was a heated argument on here hat I'm not gonna rekindle but I suspect that on top of shape and height being obvious the staff can make body measurements, record running times as well as things like vertical leap, notice if a player is now stronger in contests and so on. A scale doesn't pick any of this stuff up. 2 Quote

So the pre Cmas level does base your post Xmas training catch up or consolidation for the season. To even compare Clarry’s fitness now to 2024 same time is completely misleading. 2 Quote

So he can develop and get fit at Casey. No biggy. 1 1 Quote
DeeSpencer 26,678 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I think this year is still more about Jeffo getting a taste before pushing for a more permanent spot in 2026. But the match sim highlights show how quick his feet are and how he gets to positions to kick goals. Easy to be optimistic at this time of year but I imagine he’ll have an up and down year but overall he’ll be getting closer. Excited to see a debut at some stage. 4 2 Quote

DeeZone 10,590 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 I have a really good feeling about Matty Jefferson this year, he now looks ready to go, I can see him and Fritta being very hard to match up with JvR and Disco taking the big dogs. 2 1 Quote

One of the things I've liked about his Casey game @DeeSpencer is his ability to find himself in a position to score goals, so really interesting to read this as an assessment of match sim too. Even when he hasn't been able to physically compete the way we expect a KPF to (given his youth and lack of physical development), he found a way to bob up in space ahead of play, in the goal square for a handball, for a centring kick etc. Even if he wasn't winning his own goals, he was finishing them off the back of others work. I think it's a good trait, the ability to get involved and kick goals. 4 Quote
Bring-Back-Powell 15,549 Posted February 2 Posted February 2 What are Jeffo’s strengths that will not only get him a game in the AFL but hopefully provide a point of difference as a key forward going forward? What did Taylor see in him nab him in the first round? 1 Quote

He did plead for a bit of patience in that video with respect to a few pre seasons. A handful of senior games and an average of 2 to 3 goals a game at Casey would be a good step in the right direction. Edited February 2 by Bring-Back-Powell 4 1 Quote
