Jefferson has not filled out much over the summer to my eyes. JVR in his second season bulked up and was pushing for selection by years end.

Will be interesting to see how Jefferson grows

Tholstrup is getting better each week. What position would he take at AFL level

The difference is right there but let’s not take anything away from either side. The Dogs had too much strength and experience  - Lobb alone has 160 AFL games under his belt and Harmes has 153 AFL games and a premiership. Fullarton and Schache were the only currently listed AFL players in Casey’s team. *

I think I prefer what Casey showed today in terms of future players despite the loss. 

* to be clear, these two were the only MFC listed players out there with AFL experience.

JVR is in his third season, he was always bulky. He played seniors at the start of his second season after a fairly dominant first season in the VFL where he kicked a large number of goals in a premiership. He definitely grew his fitness base before the second season doing running in the off season with Knuckle and Woey but I don’t think bulk/strength was ever his issue. 
Jeffo is a different type, rangy, great hands, good goal sense,  usually better kicking, can get around the ground. The improvement in his pressure game and positioning after his time on the wing and in the backline is evident. I think he still needs to work on his fitness as his second efforts can be lacking but he’s growing into a good second forward and if his confidence and fitness grows he could become a very good option in a year or so. 
 

I see Kolt in the Tom Sparrow and early career Trac mould. A powerful half forward who rotates through the midfield.

Sorry W-J but Tholstrup and Sestan are both MFC-listed players who along with Verrall were in the top 3 for rating points for the most possessions. Ollie was very good, Jefferson lead and marked well but kicked badly and Verrall got lots of possessions more like a mid.

This will be a development year and spots will open up for Sestan, Jefferson, Fullarton & Tholstrup

My guess is @Whispering_Jackmeant "players with AFL experience" not "players on an AFL list".

Given the vagaries and overall inequities, compromise and inconsistency of the VFL competition (we SO need a dedicated reserves comp) I thought that today's effort was encouraging. The ideal spot for a reserves team IMHO  is a mid to mid-high placed team (eg 5th-6th) that gives developing players a good look at both a winning and losing situations  and that instills that victory only comes from team efforts (rather than an overdose of experienced AFL players).

Jefferson looked good. Pity he got the yips. I'm happy for him to take his time developing before debuting. I'm significantly more confident about player development now than back in the days of MN and JW.

Casey showed more today and fought the game out. Considering the lack of players available, it was a solid effort.  
 

Unavailable.  Laurie. Tomlinson. 
Injured.  Hunter, Melksham, McAdam, Bowey, Spargo, May, Disco Turner 

👏👏👏AMW. Verrell. Tholstrup
👏👏Adams. Fullarton  👏Kynan Brown , Sestan
🤞🤔Jefferson showed more and still 12 months of development needed  🎯Schache is very solid at this level. 

 

Great effort today from White, Hustwaite and Connolly.

Looked pretty good for large patches today. I have the feeling, rightly or wrongly, that we lost that one more than the doggies won it. I thought it was a good response by the younger players who obviously didn’t like the way the team played last week. There was a lot to like.

Tholstrup and Sestan could develop into bulky tough mid/ Forwards.

Both have very high ceilings if it all goes right for them.

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    The Demons head back to Melbourne after an embarrassing loss to the Dockers to take on the Magpies at the MCG on Kings Birthday. With a calf injury to Lachie Hunter and Jacob van Rooyen possibly returning from injury who comes in and who goes out?
