    I still haven’t seen what his weapons are. Great that he has confidence and aggression but for a medium sized player he doesn’t seem to have leg speed, unique evasion skills or innate goal sense. Why was he so on our radar?

    What was his preferred position as a junior? I agree with Earl haven't seen any weapon yet or anything to suggest he will be more than an average player

    Four, five if you count Jefferson: roo, kolt, disco, jeffo and Windsor.

    This is exactly why I like to lean into known facts rather than the where there's smoke palaver.

    Known fact #1

    Mutiple players have recently  recommitted to the MFC.

    Of the top of my head, that list includes: jeffo, roo  chin, Petty, Windsor, the kolt, AMW (I think) and disco - and I'm probably missing some.

    Apply Occam's razor to the question of why so many players, particularly young guns who would def get picked up by other clubs, have decided their medium term future lies with dees.

    What is the answer?

    I hope Jefferson is only signed until end of 26, as he is a long long way off AFL standard!

    It’s a completely reasonable question. You don’t expect your first and second year players to come in and dominate straight away, or even show consistency throughout the season.

    What you do expect to see from first round picks are little moments and glimmers of class, passages of play that give you a glimpse into their futures.

    Not saying he won’t make it but I haven’t seen any of that yet with Tholstrup. It’s all very blue collar sort of stuff.

    I’ve seen enough to suggest that he has a future. Just needs more consistency at the top level, and his pre season stress fractures (back) may well have influenced that.

    Barely even blue collar. It's mostly just celebrating with his teammates.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
