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

    • GAMEDAY: St. Kilda

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
