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

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?

Jefferson, Jefferson, Jefferson Ford. *toot toot*

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

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

 

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!

  • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

    With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

  • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

  • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

  • NON-MFC: Round 15

    As the Demons head into their Bye Round, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches being played. Which teams are you tipping this week?
