Gave nothing away in this interview.  but i enjoyed it no the less.  Think Thulstrop is a real possibility though

(waiting for....)

 

I am shocked that he didn't fully disclose his strategy. We are paying members after all..

    I actually agree with this. At the time of drafting MJ was a year+ behind in his body development as what JVR was when he got drafted the year before. Then add in that Roo naturally loves to throw his body around, MJ needs time not only to develop his body, but grow in confidence with it too.

    Give him the time he deserves. I don’t expect to see much of him until 2025. It’s not his fault the coaching group got seduced by TMAC’s 2021 season (and it was a great season too), or that BBB’s body would go kaput for the better part of 2 years (not even the coaches could’ve seen that coming so quickly).

    Whats more, it’s not our KPF’s that’s the problem, it’s how we get it in to them. No need to rush MJ.

    JT played down the Tholstrup visit.

    Said Jeffersen played some good footy at VFL and needs another preseason. 

    Hopefully we see Jeffersen play a few AFL games next year.

    greenwaves and DD - whilst not expecting to see much if any of Jefferson in 2024, I wonder why you seem so totally unequivocal that he won’t be seen at all?

    Unless he has one of the greatest pre-seasons of all-time, his body is not ready. He needs time, not to be fed to the wolves ala Jack Watts.

    I said he won't play in 2024.  He'll need a lot of time to develop

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
