A second year 19 year old key forwards make or break year is their second season in the AFL? What a load of rubbish😂 says all you need to know.

Roo came into the club at 88 kgs. He’s now about 96-97. Jefferson came into Melbourne at 76kgs and now sits at 86-87. evidently you don’t watch Casey, so making comments on what’s good and or average seems irrelevant in your argument. go back and watch Casey last season and you see how that ball is delivered and the players around Jefferson consistently taking up space.

Average? Are you joking? Look at the forward line he was trying to get a kick in at Casey? Smith, BB, Tmac, Schache. the kid barely had a chance. If you think delivery into the forward line is bad in the senior side, try watching Casey. Of course he needs to bulk up, he’s a kid. Not everyone is like Roo.

I felt sorry for Jefferson at numerous points last year because that forward line he was trying to get a kick in was land of the giants and even with injuries this year, it’s still massive. He battled along side Tmac, BB, Joel Smith, Schache at numerous points last year and still kicked 20 odd goals. This year he’s still battling BB, Schache will be back there, Fullarton potentially + Verrall and Kyah Farris-White. Unfortunately I think this year will be another of development for Jeffo but the fact Melbourne extended his contract very quickly to the end of 26’ shows what the club know they have in my opinion. Next year, a lot of those older fringe talls will be gone, and Jeffo will be able to have some space to get to work. Big forwards take time. JVR was the anomaly of that in his second season last year, not normality.

Already has a long term partner. Believe she is from SA though, like Petty’s…😂

And Hunter…😂😂

We’ve done that before. Nothing out of the ordinary imo.

No backhand. Andy’s interviews are brilliant. As are the track reports.

It’s okay to be modest Andy but you would absolutely do better and be far better than what gets provided from the current social media team 😂

The club do like some young guys to have the experience of a match day. Wouldn’t surprise me if Kolt/Jeffo get pulled at 3QT and then warm up and do the ‘match day experience’ with the main team tonight but don’t actually play

Why are you surprised? These young guys will never improve if they only get once chance and then get dropped straight away if they don’t perform.

Bit late with the revisionist history about trading him. If his wish is to leave at the end of 24’ or 25’ we just need to hope he can get on the park and show something otherwise no club will be stupid enough to chuck money at him or draft capital with the ‘fragile’ body he is beginning show that he has.

Andrew McQualter has bought some Richmond tricks over👀

Correct

And there lies one of the big reasons McAdam was unsettled at Adelaide. Lots of words went back and forth between him and Burgess. McAdam said he felt an injury and he shouldn’t be in main training to make sure he doesn’t trigger anything. Burgo told him to do get in the group and as you say ‘run it out’ and an injury occurred that session and he missed 4+ weeks. That’s McAdam’s version of events anyway.

This is scary 🤮

Happens with most of our new recruits. As far back as Steven May. and he’ll happily tell you about it😂

Club have said just a bad cork.

Teach the boy early 😂

Might’ve slept in from his late night at the Aus Open last night 😂

Because the season starts in just over a month? Would be more concerning if they weren’t training considering the amount of time they’ve had off already.

Just ask him to provide some solid training updates along with all the posters on here. Our social media team certainly aren’t providing anything 😂

Tall stocks taking a hit already 🤦🏻‍♂️

Am aware of that. Although compared to other clubs, we are very average in any content area. Wish it would be improved upon.

Yeah don’t think the clubs social media team ventured out either….. pathetic with barely any updates or content as always.
