    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.

    Verall is showing plenty.

    A bit in the mould of LJ.

    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.

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
