Jeffo's OOTF from 30m is the reason he won't make it.

He cannot be relied upon for those 50/50 goal shots.

This is a fatal flaw for someone with a limited skill set.

Jefferson took three of the best contested marks on the day (skill 1). He used handball in an attacking manner, hitting receiver on the chest more than once (skill 2). I think you have a point regarding set shots, but he is capable of slotting a goal from 50 based on Casey observation (skill 3). He is progressing well at this stage, he holds his place imo!

Did it hit the ground - i wasn't sure

Yeah, replay showed it conclusively. Raynor's face also gave it away.

He really is unlikeable

As someone who thinks Jeffo wasn't going to make it he attacked the contest well. Clunked a couple of great marks and played his part.

Kicking has been terrible but there is a spark there that he just might get there.

Jefferson remains unlikely but if a gameplan was designed to help a leading forward with reasonable hands then we’re playing it. Every forward ever has kicked them OOB so that’s not his issue. He did enough to stay in the side. He deserves a block of 8-10 games to prove to himself he can make it. Once he does that he can set about becoming an important cog in our team. I actually like Sunday’s forward half. What I’d love is Jed Walter at fullback and a Humphrey/Butters type in the middle.

For now if Kentfield deserves a spot replace Petty with him in the back half. There’s an open spot begging to be filled down there. Any chance we could give Windsor a shot on the wing?

Does that constitute a break out game from Kolt?

26 touches at 90% efficiency against the bench mark, and that tremendous clearing kick from deep in defence that found Sparrow when the game was on the line with 2 minutes left.

Full credit to him and I hope he builds from that.
