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

    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

    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.

    Fantastic to hear Jeffo influencing a game 

    the kicking will come

    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 boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
