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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
