Jeffo, Kenfield and Adams all with another preseason will offer us quality options to build on at AFL level.
You can see the difference a month at AFL level has provided for Jeffo at VFL level. He has been dominant and should have 4-5 goals.

Kolt showing the natural hunting instincts of an inside mid with some defensive intent. Just build his VFL level midfield game for the rest of the year. That will hold him in better stead for 2026 than being subbed on and off as a half forward at AFL level.

    Agree on Kolt, however Jefferson will need to show more against better vfl teams before I am convinced.

    Agree. Zebras are bottom club and the alignment is ending. Little oppo today!!

    Need players like Kolt and Laurie and Jeffo to really stand up when we play Lions and the Hawks in the final VFL games.

    Small bugbear of mine in terms of coverage. Would be nice if the first ball up and 5 seconds post wasn't obscured with the lingering graphic they have during the breaks.

    Jeffo shows some pace and laces out Kentfield for his 3rd. Or was it his 2nd, I've lost count

    Jeffo could easily have 4-5 goals already today. He's presenting really well but has missed some easy shots.

    Sometimes you need to get thrown to the wolves. He has benefited from experiencing the intensity and intent required to play in the firsts.

    Clueless statement. He has been dreadfully managed this year to his own detriment & that of the team. And he's not the only one managed poorly.

    Spent some time this quarter watching Kolt at stoppages. Clearly knows where and when to go and is getting to the ball drop well. On the spread is running to right places. Skills looking good. However, he is often flat footed, rarely pushing with bodily strength against his opponent to dominate position, and lots of walking when the ball is not near him. I agree with others above that he needs a full preseason, and I would have him next to Viney and Clarry to test and develop his physicality and intensity.

    Jeffo is doing everything right except his marking and kicking. Which means he is getting the major things wrong.

    I love both these boys' potential but need to see development over the next preseason.

    Agree with nearly all these comments but Jeffos marking has been a highlight this game save for his dropped mark in the first quarter. Clunked some impressive ones.

    Yes he's been managed so poorly managed, to his own detriment - but hes just had one of his better games for the year? Doesn't compute mate

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.
