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.

    • POSTGAME: Sydney

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

    • CASEY: Northern Bullants

      The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

    • GAMEDAY: Sydney

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?

    • NON-MFC: Round 11

      Round 11, the second week of The Sir Doug Nicholls Round, kicks off on Thursday night with the Cats hosting the Bulldogs at Kardinia Park. Geelong will be looking to to continue their decade long dominance over the Bulldogs, while the Dogs aim to take another big scalp as they surge up the ladder. On Friday night it's he Dreamtime at the 'G clash between Essendon and Richmond. The Bombers will want to avoid another embarrassing performance against a lowly side whilst the Tigers will be keen to avenge a disappointing loss to the Kangaroos. Saturday footy kicks off as the Blues face the Giants in a pivotal clash for both clubs. Carlton need to turn around their up and down season while GWS will be eager to bounce back and reassert themselves as a September threat. At twilight sees the Hawks taking on the Lions at the G. Hawthorn need to cement themselves in the Top 4 but they’ll need to be at their best to challenge a Brisbane side eager to respond after last week’s crushing loss to the Dees on their home turf. The first of the Saturday night double headers opens with North Melbourne up against the high-flying Magpies. The Roos will need a near-perfect performance to trouble a Collingwood side sitting atop the ladder.
