Exactly. He wasn't dropped because he hasn't a 'niggle'

Simple case of being out of form really and nothing else.

I don't think he has the talent to be more than average. Average is not good for a kpf.

    Jefferson who was building confidence coming into AFL footy as a deep forward, gets a hand injury then they put him down back at Casey ? what the ? Put Fritsch down back if we had to many forwards, hes got more experience there, and can work on defensive pressure.

    Key forward is not an easy place to play.

    After the first half, when he didn’t look like getting near the ball, I would’ve put him on Guruzewski. Just to play back shoulder and have him lead you to the ball a couple of times. Sometimes that’s all it takes.

    Missed the last quarter yesterday and just now watched the full replay.

    As I already said Roo probably needed to follow one of their key forwards around after halftime.

    Most of the problem is the same as our AFL side had up until yesterday – they are not giving the handball to players running past.

    Trying to do it all themselves is inviting pressure, which makes it harder to get it out to players who are now stationary.

    Thought Verrall broke even in the ruck against one of the bigger bodies in the AFL. Madden did not get many taps to advantage – probably less than Verrall who also missed out on several frees – blatant pushes in the back etc. – as the umpires have no idea on ruck contests.

    For those who went or watched a significant amount online - how did our Wade Derksen go as a key back for GWS?

    Dominated.

    Was easily one of their best players.

    Might have to revisit adding him to the list for 2026. He’s still not getting a game at GWS despite excellent form. Behind Taylor, Buckley and Idun as key defence and Giants might prefer to give Aleer the first call up. Derksen would be a handy addition to fill a future key defence role from May and Tmcd.

    Hopefully we've kept up the dialog with his management. He's OOC this year so it should be easier.

    Easy up. From what I recall JVR's goal kicking and contested mark stats are up there with guys like Schwarz at a comparable age.

    His set shot kicking is pretty elite.

    Think he's got plenty of talent and capability to be way more than average. Playing as a key forward for us over that 4 week period would be enough to get many down on form and confidence.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
