His arm size is looking a bit too good for demonlanders.

I know I am old but I have absolutely no idea what you are saying. Please explain! Sorry I couldn't help the last sentence but would still like to know.⁵

I think it’s a reference to the muscle definition in Jefferson’s arms, as can be seen in the photo above. But what would I know…I’m old as well.

Making up things a normal part of your repertoire?

Nice self-own.

Feel free to let me know where that was said by me.....

Not your greatest post 58er

 

Apologies JNRMAC 

It was DCTRACCA who made the errors.

Over to you TRACCA?

It's not hype. It's hope. It's the off season. It's a time for the optimism of the supporters to grow and look forward to the next season.

The houses have all been trained down. Players have put on muscle in just a few weeks of holidays and all the problems with the game plan will magically be solved. 

At the moment, Johnson is a Schrödinger's cat. He could be the next Tony Lockett or he could be a complete bust. 

Let the optimists have their time.

Far better to be an optimist who is sometimes wrong than a pessimist who is always right.

Errrrrr we are 14th

That may only be for the last 6/8 games of 2024. That doesn’t mean we are stuck in that position permanently.

We could have easily made the finals without Trac and Clarry’s last half season. It was rare air without the two champs.

What does “ a bit too good for demo leaders” mean?

Jeffo owes it to Chris in Camberwell to have a 'break out" year.

He'll blow a bloody woofer valve if he doesn't.

Pressure's on!


Will play round 1!!

Perhaps that a lot of posters have called out his previously thin build? He has bulked up quite a bit now.

Let’s wait and see mate. 

17 goals in a VFL season, 4th at club, is hardly going to be keeping the oppo coaches up at night thinking about match ups. 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.

People are essentially lazy I think.

I just had the first chemotherapy session of my return, and feeling ok so far…but it is early days yet 😁. Hopefully this doesn’t spoil my 2025 too much; I will be on this for a few months, I suspect.

True, but at least I had almost a year off the ‘gear’ 😁

Jeffo”s best haul was 5 goals against the Zebras. 27 goals in 15 VFL matches. He was played in different positions prior to these games. 
 

The kid can play.

There was a period last year where we had 4 tall forwards in the VFL team, and Jeffo was played in the forward pocket and moved to defence during that period. I recall in games where it was just him and Kentfield as our tall forwards, he looked very good when as the focal point of our attack.

You must have missed last half of 2024. If you are going to comment please br accurate.

Goody  would not have made Jeffo an emergency 3 weeks in a row at the end of the season without the actual improvement he has actually made. 

Many in the Club are looking forward to him continuing on with his impressive development 

It is disappointing to read of criticism that is inaccurate. 

Credit where credit is due please. 

Goody can have his opinion on him thats totally fine, and I will be more than happy to be proven wrong. I watch every VFL game and still dont rate him as an AFL level player, and the stats dont lie....

 

Ill give credit when credit is due. Hopefully he can have more impact on the game instead of over the back goals ala Jenkins.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
