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.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
