I think he will be more versatile than Sam was, reckon he'll be our regular full forward if not this season then in 27 and beyond. Fritta will play high half or forwardpocket. He has the advantage over most because he has forward craft and just needs more continuity.

Based on what?

Gosh, he was disappointing on Friday.

Whilst JVR wasn’t great, he was regularly leading up to the ball. I may be incorrect but I didn’t see Jeffo leading

Very little to get enthused about.

So far a cross between Lucas Cook & Michael Newton.

Very harsh. He gets in good places..he def tackled hard & he is a smart player. The forward line is new ..they’ll take awhile to gel & work together but I’m def not writing him off. He’s def never going to be our No 1 big forward but there is a place for him.

I didn't see Jeffo doing anything at all

A place where? JVR, Mihocek and Fritsch are walk up starts, Kentfield is way ahead. Can't see him being contracted beyond this year

I have zero interest in arguing whether a 21 yr old forward player is going to make it. If he was 23/24 I might give you some interest but the penchant for supporters like you to write off /dismiss players (especially tall key position players) so early in their career is laughable. I can tell already that you def weren’t at the game yesterday so maybe I’ll give you some leeway because the rather inadequate TV coverage certainly didn’t give you the same “viewings” of the match

I’m not sure on Jeff still. Not saying he won’t get there but I haven’t seen flashes of brilliance, same with JVR. Haven't seen something where I was able to see that they would be guns one day. Probably liken them to Weiderman at this stage.

I see you have zero interest in arguing the matter then spend considerable time arguing the matter.

Makes perfect sense.

Give me Kentfield any day.

He actually looks as if he enjoys the physical stuff unlike Jefferson

He turns 22 in 2 weeks. It's his 4th year on the list.

One would have to be delusional to not realise this is his make or break year.

Not to mention out of contract.

JVR’s 5th year. These two aren’t babies anymore, have to show something

I want Jefferson to succeed.

I also want him to do what Kentfield is doing at the moment (contest)

I missed Fridays game and haven't watched the replay. He would be hugely disappointed, in his RAW stats and not knowing what his role was one can conjecture what the coaches made of his game. As much as I want him to do well Kentfield and Moose are busy shoring themselves into round 1. I'm backing him to bounce back Next Friday vs Tiges, and he simply must fire a shot next week or pressure will mount. Love what Luker and Moose bring to the table.

Not sure how much the absence of brody impacted his game. He automatically got the best north defender

Well Look I hope u r correct. I would like the boy to succeed. Surely the plethora of forward line coaches could work out his best approach. But on Friday he looked lost, and when he had a couple of genuine marking chances he fluffed them

I sincerely hope that Jeffo makes the grade, but like Sam W he doesn't seem to thrive for the contest, which is essential.
