The rangy young key forward was a first round pick two years ago is undergoing a long period of training for senior football. There were some promising developments during his season at Casey where he was their top goal kicker and finished third in its bestย & fairest.

2025 is his year.

2 years of VFL level is enough.

HF is his for the taking

Can't wait to see this kid, and the other kids get better, it's kind of exciting even if we don't land a ready made mature tall forward I think we've got the tools here.

Agree SSย 

I am wondering if MJ could part play on a flank with his skill and speed? ย As a roaming forward who could slip into a forward pocket providing a challenge for opponents probably a third or fourth defender. Fritta might get the third ย although I imagine a taller defender might still take on Matty.ย 

This is only to see if he can play a slightly different not KFP and attract a smaller or lighter backman.ย 

Of course I canโ€™t wait to see how much more he has built up and he may be perfectly able to start using his IMO very able forwardโ€™s skills to win the ball.ย 

I hope he can play AFL this year because I believe JVR Disco and Harry will be an entirely different proposition at some stages in 2025.ย 

Good luck Jeffo like JVR you have done your apprenticeship and now to show the world on the big stage.ย

Agree with ya

He is slightly built for a height of 195cm. I believe he did spend time rotating off a wing/HF in the VFL.ย 

I can see him being a lead up HF just as Turner did for us last season when he did play.

HF - Pickett, Petty, Jefferson/Turner

F - Chandler, van Rooyen, Fritschย 


In an ideal world, Jeffo comes into our forward line and produces, and then Petty returns to defence.

Whether he's ready for a JVR type 2023 season is the question?

ย 

ย 

Disappointed that he didn't get a senior game when our season was effectively over (Round 19 onwards??).

Can't see him making an impact in 2025 but if he can have a 20 goal AFL season and take the pressure of Fritsch I'll be happy.

His year is 2026 which will see Petty down back (post Tmac) and Jefferson and JVR as the two key forwards with Fritsch as the impact forward.

He's still a 50/50 proposition for me at AFL level. Like most I got burned by Weid with that word "potential" not to menion "breakout."

Let's not get carried away. I like his improvement in 2024 but so far he has done SFA.

Coz he should have played last 4 games but as u know Goody would prefer others!!!

Surely for him to play, it means one of Petty / JVR / Disco need to be out of the side (or maybe in defence).

What's his defensive pressure like? I think the competitiveness is what they like about the others and why someone like Weid did not make it.

Despite what ppl think / say about Petty - I reckon his year was injury affected and he's a solid body and has a bit of mongrol in him (albeit he seemed to be down on confidence this year).

I would love to see Matt Jefferson play 10-15 games in 2025 to build his confidence and get a good look at him. Watching him at the B&F he looks taller and a bit solider than when I saw him out at Casey Fields family day. I like the HF flank suggestion provides the ability to move around and help free Fritsch up.
I think his problem will be Disco, he looked pretty good as the year wore on and will be hard to displace. Still nice problem to have.

Time for Jeffo to step up and put on his big boy pants.

Hope he spends the Pre-Season putting on lots of muscle!

2025 will be a huge season for him!

The ball is in his court to make it as an AFL player....

He should be watching plenty of tapes of Calsher Dear and Logan Morris over the off season.


In answer to defensive pressure,?? VERY VERY GOOD in games I saw, tackles hard and stick! MUST PLAY ROUND 1

If he has a big preseason, could make an impact in 2025. Has a good pair of hands. Needs to work on his tank and strengthening his core. I don't think his arms are big enough for the average demonlanders.

In the games I saw him play towards the end of the year it struck me that he had already put on a fair bit of muscle. I sure he will have an AFL ready body after this preseason.ย 
He has a very unusual body shape with his hunched over upper back but seemed have pretty on a bit of beef in his legs.ย 
2025 will be the year that defines him I think.ย

Heโ€™s going to need to do a Judd McVee and get super fit.

Agree again DJ. I cannot see him as KPF in 2025. Doesn't have size/ weight from my observations. Never looks like he will turn a game at VFL level.ย

Obviously I watched different games to you pf. I didnโ€™t watch every game so it would appear I missed the defensive pressure games. I will be very surprised if he plays game 1 in seniors.ย

I was there for his โ€œ breakoutโ€ game v cats in 2018. sigh. ย Iโ€™m also not sure what to make of Jeffo ย yet. On the plus side ย he IS improving and has quite a consistently good second half of 24. On the negative he looks like someone that will get monstered at AFL level. ย Iโ€™m just not gonna believe it at AFL til I see itโ€ฆ. love to be wrong tho.ย

Happy to bet in multiples of 10

10 thousands or whatever, are u game??

Lol genuinely never noticed Jefferson nail multiple tackles . How many games did he play with less than 8 touches

He wonโ€™t play more than 10 games next year in my opinion .

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.
