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.

    A chink is a narrow opening; or a horrible ethnic slur - I hope that’s not what you meant.

    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: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
