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.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea
