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.

Also Himmelberg.

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.

Has a few bad games and posters like this ride him off.. thankfully you have no involvement with managing the club

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
