Midfield getting absolutely smashed around the ground as usual. But no, according to the clueless Binman it's not the midfield issue 😅

This is the worst performance I've seen in terms of disposal and skill level. May getting absolutely smashed.

Kozzie has already given away 3 free kicks this quarter. [censored] pull your head in. [censored] handball by Salem.

Wowee that was good play by freo..

Midfield are getting pansted around the footy. Absolutely lazy defending from across the ground as there are too many spare players just sitting out the back.

May has had an absolute shocker. He and Rivers have been woeful down back

[censored] hell our skills are absolutely deplorable! Rivers, Oliver, Sparrow can absolutely get in the bin in this department.

As a tall key forward, physical development is absolutely necessary in today's game. Imagine when Jefferson comes up against Sam Taylor, Harris Andrews and Jacob Weitering, he'd get physical monstered. A winger or outside player in Windsor case can get away with a smaller frame because they're not smack bang right in the middle of the contested work so obviously they're not copping the big hits and one on one duels like key forward/defenders do. Jefferson is still a long way off it from a physical sense. Talent us there but.

Yeah he's surprised me how good he's been. Ideally I'd rather JVR fully focus on being a forward but he's a competitive kid who's really competing well as an undersized 2nd ruckman. Cam Pederson like.

Not sure entirely it was desperate times. You're never going to get a like for like for Jackson. Literally just needed a back up ruck that can be physically competitive when needed. Fullarton is more a 200cm forward flanker.

Said it a while back, Fullarton is pretty much another Schache clone but probably hates physical contact even more. The recruitment never made sense from the very start. Go read all the Brisbane fans comments on bigfooty when he left and they were celebrating his departure. Can't believe we signed him to a 2 year deal.

Kid is going to be a superstar...

He's much better depth thrn Schache. Even when he's played at AFL level this year he's hit the scoreboard still atleast.

Honestly have no idea why we need to take 3 emergencies away all the time.

Love this selection. Big strong aggressive key forward who's already played senior WAFL for two years now. You need those big aggressive key forward to make it in today's competition. It's why JVR is doing well and I think having another young key forward who is willing to crash packs and takes strong contested marks will only hold him in good stead. The recruiting is also a wise decision. It's a transition type recruitment. Guys like Schache and Brown will be gone at the end of the year so makes absolute sense we are bring in a developing tall early on to gain some valuable experience in an AFL environment so that by pre season day 1 he's already adapted to the full time training and professionalism. This also means that with the improvement of Jefferson, going into next year with JVR, Kenterfield, Fullarton and Petty has us well stocked for key forwards. Our targeting and recruitment through the draft will then turn to adding elite midsfielders to add further depth.

I hope the poor kid and his family aren't searching the MFC website for a write up. 10:30pm and still nothing on the kid. Pretty poor.

You'd be delusional to think that our midfield doesn't need topping up. It's still absolutely an issue and will need to be addressed over the off season. A win again a bottom 4 side only puts a band-aid over the cracks for now. Ps, I actually like this selection a fair bit.

Big talk aggressive key forward who was certainly unlucky not to get picked up last year. Vice like hands who isn't afraid to crash packs and has certainly shown that at WAFL senior level. Love this pick.

I hear Collingwood are also quiet keen on him and they have a pick before us.

Reminds me of when I first watched Jesse Hogan's junior highlights.

How is he not in All Australian discussions?

I like this a lot.

We are also interested in Saad El-Hawli from the Northen Bullants.
