Agree D Rev he is a vg finisher and what we really need both at AFL & VFL why Mitch Hardie is so important to Casey and Chin and Kozz at AFL.

I actually think he'd be good in a better team. He's a finisher, not one to get the ball or set it up.

He played in a pretty good team at the Lions and was similar to senior games with us. Sadly he is a NQR.

Utter disgrace Jefferson was dropped.

You gotta be joking - Jefferson was terrible against the Blues - fumbled, dropped a chest mark & missed a gettable goal.

He kept dropping chest marks yesterday & his kicking was even worse 2.5 & keeps missing sitters from 30 out.

His form this year suggest a bust.

 

How about that mark that Mattie Jefferson took against Sandy on the weekend, if he can replicate that on a regular basis at AFL he will be worth the price of a ticket, also I don’t understand the criticism for Harry Sharp he kicked five great goals, doing what a good hff does finishes off the play up the ground. Why try to pass and increase the opportunity for a turn over when you can nail it yourself.

I think you are being a bit harsh. He's still young. There are a lot of positives about his game.

Another summer in the gym and practicing kicking and he will be a lot better

Mitch Hardie on a rookie contract couldn’t hurt either

Bloke knows where the goals are that's for sure. He also manages to find space and mark on a lead / in space somehow. He has that natural forward craft knack that Chin & Spargo don't have.

Sharp also knows how to find the goals but so far at senior level he just doesn't get enough of it.

If he gets another season and ups the ante next year. Who knows. But will he? He's been ok in patches at AFL level but super disappointing alot of the time as well. No worse than Spargo though who keeps getting the call up after showing no serious form at senior level all season.

Of all times to have another bye, yep you guessed it the Smithys VFL Fixturing delivers in spades AGAIN

Just when the boys are hitting their straps another unwanted bye, VFL has become a bit sad.

  • 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?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    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.
