I don’t understand why, the point, of comparing Watts and Jefferson…

And how one can compare a full AFL career (Watts)  with a kid yet to play a single game…

in a differed era…

with a different development program…

into a different team.

But, despite all that, I’ll play along, and say Jefferson will be a better key position forward than Jack was.

    Ok, bar stats, which can be used to show basically anything what is it you see in Jefferson that excites you. I mean I watch him and I just don't see an imposing AFL forward in the making. 

    OK, barring the evidence that I presented .....

    ... I think Jefferson is a far more talented player than Van Rooyen. He's a better mark than JVR, particularly as a pack mark and certainly given with his currently slight frame. He is able to use his body really well with the ball in the air to use his long arms to take marks he has no right to take. He's an agile forward who wins the ball in multiple ways and turns those into scores. Jefferson has a lot of class with the ball and makes really good decisions with it.

    JVR is a blunt instrument whilst Jefferson has the ability to be a cut above that. I do find the idea of writing off a 195cm, 78kg key forward in his first half season pretty amusing, especially when you then compare him with Jonathan Brown from 25 years ago. Why not compare him to Tony Lockett in 1983, or maybe John Coleman in 1949?

    I just couldn't see it in Coleman...skinny kid, too many unrealistic attempts to mark.

    Jefferson isn’t as good as Watts

    Certainly not at the moment.

    Give Watts the ball last week a couple of times, instead of Harmes and Spargo when they kicked points from 30 out and we would have won.

    A 196cm, accurate and long kicking Watts, would certainly help our current side.

    I’m not writing him off and who cares if I am. I don’t see him like you do. I hope you’re right. I think he’s a bust but hey as I’ve said my opinion is worthless in the scheme of things. Some on here might want to take that on board 🤔

    It's difficult to trust your analysis and judgement when this is the key point that you've taken from my posts.

    • 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.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      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.
