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

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?
