Yes different era, but I suspect he would be successful today. No not as a 56yo, in his prime. 

Providing he’s gotten over his back issues, I reckon Jackovich could solve our forward line issues.

    Your point?

    Did I draw any connection with era?

    My statement stands alone. Don't you think it interesting that a key position forward was drafted at 22yo , played most of his first season as a 23yo and was instantly successful? 

    Yes different era, but I suspect he would be successful today. No not as a 56yo, in his prime. 😄

    Well yeah, you've brought it up in discussion based around a young key forwards development.

    Back in that era it was a completely different game compared to what it is now.

    Full forwards literally did not move from the goal square. Now days it's all about zones and pushing higher up the ground and then getting back on your bike on the rebound.

    Footy was fun to watch back then, but I also don't mind some of the content now.

    I don’t understand the passion (and page volume) in the Jeffo debate. 

    He might work, he might not.

    Either way he won’t be the difference between us being great and us being [censored]. He’s not Wayne Carey, I think we’ve seen enough to be confident of that.

    he is playing round 1 so we don’t have too long to see him at AFL level 

    Round 1 of the practice match series at least. Let’s see how he goes against North

    What a curious comment. None of our forwards are Wayne Carey at this stage!!!
    But you are wrong in saying Jeffo won’t make any difference in our forward line bring great or not so good. 
    But what he brings to the table are forward finishing skills that help our goal kicking and team play in ground pick ups and handballs to assist. 

    He is a different cat to all our others except taller and slightly more physical than Fritta. Height and marking and straight goal kicking  also are the package.

    Like Fritta 6/8 possessions with 2/3 goals and 2/3 assists will keep the opposing defences honest. 

    Improvement from Disco JVR and Billing’s and the new boys Harvey and Lindsay are other pluses to our scoring potential.

    Trac is liking among this group waiting to score big time. 

    No not great yet but by September who knows how good we might be.

    Different era

    Jacko had a chunky man’s body from Dsy 1 so as a comparison was successful immediately. Not sure of his prior footy but bet it was against Men rather than under age. 

    He had do

    m as my skills also you couldn’t teach. Looking at Jeffo it’s not his footy skills that are lacking it’s getting the ball to be able to use them. 

    Mow that he has started maturing in physique and moving around the forward line he will through instinct ( still the best way forward can get the ball ) think Fritta Kossie Cyril all so great to watch.

    Its gong yo be very interesting our forward setup but one good thing is all our magnets on  the board capable of playing in front of goals are so different that we should be able to mix and match very capably yo confuse the opposition.

    I’d say it’s because he was a first rounder, and the fascination behind getting picked that high.

    I doubt Aidan Johnson, who was picked up in the late 60’s/early 70’s will get anything near 1000 posts around here.

    Yep, didn't get a lot of it but 2 great goals in a losing side in the wet, plus some fierce tackling, chasing and goal assists, = a very good debut, looking forward to seeing what he brings at the airless, windless, souless shizzen stadium this week!!😂😎

    Loved that chase on Himmelberg in the third quarter. Definitely affected the kick.

    Solid debut.

    Based on highlights and the AFL’s generosity in allowing me access to only the mini-match post game. Matthew Jefferson didn’t let himself down or the team.

    Recall some blokes who went on to terrific careers whose debuts were less impactful and not as self assured as JEFFO was last Sunday. Augurs well for the future.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
