I think he’ll make a better key forward.

All the better for us. If we have Verrall and Kalani White playing Ruck/forward and developing behind Gawn in his last few (hopefully five more!) seasons we’re doing pretty well.

[Demonland 66,980]

Jefferson finally snags one

clenched as that one went through

Is it fair to say the disparity between their players with AFL experience and ours means this has been a promising performance so far?

[12345_54321 949]

Bloody impressive Jefferson. Looks so much more comfortable forward. Great hands.

 

a shame about his kicking but having 6 scoring shots from 6 marks is extremely efficient and shows good signs.

 

Another bonus is Will Verrall. That kid looks to have a bright future. Can definitely see some Max Gawn traits in his game.

Definitely. Casey lost JJ, Harmes, Dunstan and Munro from this side. That’s a [censored] ton of experience, not to mention no Tomo, Laurie, Hunter, Spargo, Disco and the other injured players who would usually be in this team.

there is so much to like about tholstrup and sestan in particular

[KC from Casey 6,779]

Goal to the Dogs - they lead by 8 points.

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,106]

Jefferson could easily have kicked 5. His marking is elite

what was tyler edwards doing then

[Demonland 66,980]

Another Bulldogs goal from a terrible Casey mistake

Jefferson’s time down back looks to have helped his follow up and positioning down the ground. He’s looking excellent today, goal kicking aside.

Must say I’m not overly worried about his kicking. It’s a shame cause him tearing a game apart in front of goal for his conscience would be great, but just the marking aspect and him getting his hands on it is awesome for him. 
 

Definitely something to work with.

Exactly my thoughts. Result irrelevant. If from this half alone, I can see a future Melbourne KPF and a ruck/forward emerge, I'll be rapt!
