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.

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

    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.

    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.

    Jefferson could easily have kicked 5. His marking is elite

    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!

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

      The Demons pulled off an absolute miracle at the Gabba coming from 24 points down in the 2nd Quarter to overrun the reigning premiers the Brisbane Lions winning by 11 points and keeping their season well and truly alive.

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
