A key player for the near future

Good luck Matt

[Lord Travis 10,697]

Always good to lock away first round draftees. He's still got more size to put on, but all reports from Casey are he's developing nicely and is seriously capable in the air. Existing prospect for the future. Good onya Jeffo!

Apparently the lads call him the "magician", must have something to do with his skills perhaps? Any info on that?

I vaguely remember it being about how he manages to grab marks whilst in awkward positions in the air...or something to that effect

I have 2 great jokes here, but neither of them are appropriate.

Because he loves to steal our Western Australian talls and over pay for them

[DeeSpencer 25,477]

Burst out of the blocks the first few weeks before some really grinding games, but I think he’s settled in the last month or so with some byes freshening the legs.

His forward pressure on the weekend was a couple of levels above anything I’ve seen from him before that.

If he can develop that aspect of his game as well as finding more of the ball he’ll be a lot closer to playing with the big boys.

He was really good on the weekend. I know we played Coburg and they are terrible, but he looked promising both in the air and at ground level.

He needs to put on more muscle so he doesn't get push off the ball at AFL level, but I reckon he has all the markings of a good modern day KPF. Athletic, able to take contested marks as well as compete for the ground ball.

Did Ashburton up and move to Perth?

Wouldnt even hesitate to sign on to an AFL club for another 3 years without having played a senior game

We did it with JVR and aren't you glad we did! 

I trust that our coaches, who watch him play each week and train multiple times a week, know exactly what they are doing.

I was sure he's a WA boy. Did I get him mixed up with Jed Adams?

his dad went to same primary school as my kids. lived a block away.

[Fritta The Hair G.O.A.T. 510]

El Jefe!

The way he moves reminds me a lot of Wattsy, very relaxed and easy the way he glides across the ground. Hopefully with a strong club culture and development program he can become the forward we all hoped Wattsy would be

How big is the lad now out of curiosity ??  cheers

[DeeZone 9,685]

BB he mentioned that he has already put on 6kg so that is a good start and he is listed at 195cm 6’4” same as Shwarter.

Well done Mathhew Jefferson and MFC sounds like the young bloke is starting to build nicely, another pre-season and another 6kg on that frame and watch out we’ll have JvR and Jefferson Ford running around with Fritta, Kozzie and Chandler then look out.!!!

If he told you the real reason it might surprise you. EXCELLENT NEWS! Lovely young man with a postive outlook and a quick learner. Another 5 Kilos and strong pre season and look out, we will have our very own David Nietz CLONE!
