Where are we at with Matty Jefferson? I feel like all he can do is fly for a mark when unaffected by body contact and that is about it. He has no second efforts or ground ball game, no link up play up the ground and isn't strong enough to out muscle anyone. I don't expect him to be playing AFL yet but, his development is a real concern... for a pick 15 which is a huge investment and ultimately could've been traded for a ready made key position player is quite frustrating.

Hopefully he can start to show more in the coming weeks as I'd love him to come good and I am rooting for him!

    Only within the context of Goodwin's overall plan. He would be allowed to tinker but the game plan and the playing method is pre-set.

    This year we chip it around and take on the corridor occasionally. Last two years it has been mainly a boundary game. It mirrors the senior team.

    It was worse when the VFL team was unaligned such as we had with Sandringham. Our players were often played in positions or in ways that ran contrary to the needs of the MFC AFL team. Juice Newton and Sauntner was the classic dilemna

    That maybe so but it's his job to win games as well and if he has to change things to win a game are you saying he cannot do that?

    I'm as eager as anyone to see some development from Jefferson but we should remember that not only is  second year skinny key position player, he missed a huge chunk of pre-season training. Clearly playing catch up with his fitness.

    Jefferson’s intensity is pathetic. No defensive focus in his game and zero ground game. He won’t make it. 

    Sad but true.

    For those who haven't had a chance.to see this.  Some Sesto magic!  Starting to find his feet.  Promising moments and building nicely...

    Sesto is rapidly growing in confidence as well. It shows in everything he does.

    Thanks for posting this. I saw this amazing goal on the day but not clearly. Massive thumping kick from outside 50 and a great display of physical strength to shake off his opponent. That’s what you wanna see!

    Absolutely.  Still alot of work ahead if he's to take the next step WC but some good signs so far this season.  Fingers crossed.

    everything about the way he's developing screams 'afl-level attributes' to me

    just gotta get the fitness base in place

    I think Southport will move back to QAFL in 2025. Not sure why they are in this competition given it’s principally VFL ex standalone teams and then the AFL-or-aligned teams.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
