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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

      The Demons come face to face with St. Kilda for the second time this season for their return clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
