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.!!!

I'd start drooling at the idea of anyone close to be a Swarta !!

    Cant wait for the JVR and MJ double act dominating up forward for us in the near future!

    Plenty of upside here.  Good signing.  Looking forward to seeing his development after another pre-season or two.

    Some VG signs in his last month or so.

    Reminds me a bit of the Duke with a much better kicking action.  For those too young to remember...

    Whenever I venture down to Casey I do keep an eye on him. He is a smart player who will benefit from some strength and conditioning and being in the AFL system.

    He is someone I'm looking forward to seeing next season after another year in the system. Knowing he will be here an extra few years is great news given he might be given an opportunity to play senior footy as early as next season.

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

    He knows how to vanish……sorry I couldn’t help myself

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

    Yes, Jed is the WA boy.

    What a dream if he and JVR both reach their full potential.  I guess we will have to wait until at least mid 2024 to get a better idea.

    I'm guessing it is a bit like Nibbler. Say 'Matt Jefferson' repeatedly and fast enough and it garbles to majeffeon, which doesn't sound like any word except magician.

    The way he launches at contested marks and the odd screamer and the way he spins out of traffic at times, JVR is definitely the player we've had in the last 20 years that most reminds me of Swarta.  Just need to make sure his knees stay in good shape.

    In reality this probably just happens for boring administrative reasons, but I like to think these signings that happen a year earlier than they need to do so as a sign of faith in the young players, to take the pressure off somewhat. I like it.

    Could also be because JT doesn’t think there is any better key position forward we are likely to draft in the next 2 years, so it’s a no brainer to keep developing Jefferson. His position on the list is not going to become surplus in other words.

    sensible for a tall taken with an early pick but i think we need to be careful with these automatic extensions we're handing out. As a good side we have less undesirable players which means the squeeze is on and list management may have written hibbo/melky off at the end of this season and now it looks like they may both play on. yes Howes, Laurie and DTurner have been ok in vfl but why did we lock them into 2yr deals similar with Chandler and Spargo for 3, i'd be making those 1 and 2 year extensions respectively coz now we're stuck with another year of Laurie who just doesn't look likely and is unfortunately clogging us up a bit in terms of list flexibility

    Agree

    At least he signed the standard 2 year extension like everyone except that guy now playing for Freo

    Looking forward to seeing him debut post bye 2024

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
