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.

I’m not overly pleased with it either. Clearly gets too close to the man on the mark. Has no set rhythm or routine. I mean, is Stafford doing anything with our forwards to improve them?

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!

 

and tholstrup has seriously exciting traits plus sestan shows something

adams taken a couple of strong marks defensively too

lots to like

[Redleg 40,811]

Jeffo has dominated and but for bad kicking could have had 5-6 goals in the first half.

As I have been saying for a year, like I said about Howes, he will play for the Dees.

Too many on here write players off prematurely.

This is a great game to watch. I'm impressed with Tholstrup and Verrell in this game. Finally Jefferson taking some great marks 

[Wells 11 5,377]

Not sure what to think about Jeffo. Lots to like about his positioning and marking. But his kicking for goal is close to being a liability. well in this game it actually IS that.

 On the positive, theres plenty to work with and  he’s marking  it …thats a big part of being a genuine fwd. But Jury still out for me and he def  won’t be playing in 2024.

Yep it’s ridiculous. If you can’t trust our recruiters by now, you never will 😆

noticed that too! I mean it’s not like he’s just learning to kick for goal is it! All over the place.

Anyone see a lot of Petty in Jed Adams? In the way they play, not just looks 😂

I saw a game two years ago and he kicked them from everywhere! From angles, distance, the lot. Just massively down on kicking confidence, but sheeeit he is mercurial in the air. Really positive signs today😇

Jeffo is normally a very good kick for goal.

Just having a horrible time of it today so far.

[DubDee 25,526]

Fantastic to hear Jeffo influencing a game 

the kicking will come 

[Freddy Fuschia 730]

Really happy with the game so far. The young MFC Demons have all stepped up to the plate and have given the club an outstanding base for the future. Some of the new VFL affiliated players going well also - now we just have to improve our kicking at goals.

Dont think the Casey wind helps anybody. Pretty surprised people aren’t impressed with his game after all the rubbish he’s copped. He is usually an extremely good kick at goal, just an off day.  Each to their own though.

I thought the ground was almost windless today? Anyway it’s good to hear he’s normally a better shot. A relief. I have to be honest and say I haven’t seen that much of him so it’s a small sample size i’m getting vocal about and better to hold my tongue no doubt!

The Casey wind will never die 😂

Verrall has taken some nice grabs. 

[Demonland 71,256]

Casey behind

Casey 8.8.56

Footscray 10.3.63

[Demonland 71,256]

Bulldogs should have got a free in front of goal then. 

[Demonland 71,256]

Umps missing so many frees 

[12345_54321 966]

Farris-White to record 0 touches again? Not ideal. 

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Seven minutes into the half and 1 point each.

[Demonland 71,256]

Bulldogs get the first of the 3rd

Casey 8.8.56

Footscray 11.4.70

[KC from Casey 7,057]

Dogs go 14 points up with a goal.
