I agree. It's a big risk for anyone to take him in the first round, to be honest, I rate Keeler and Lemmey ahead of him. If this draft had any sort of decent tall forwards he wouldn't even be in the top 40
I think there's a role for most types of players at the next level if you have the skills, athleticism and commitment required, and we can see that Jefferson at least has the first two locked in. Hard to find consistent contested marks at junior ranks as well, and generally those that are find a way to be decent at AFL level

Keep going with this nonsense, Cal Twomey has described Jefferson as a Harry Jones type (and Harry's a good player) it's just so ignorant to suggest he won't turn into Jonathon Brown when he's not that guy. Anyone with just a rudimentary understanding of talent should be able to get that. He's more than capable of producing what Jack Gunstan does and that's why he'll be in demand. It's clear from the profiling of some they've never taken the time to watch him play.
Got news for you, Jefferson will go in the first round and Keeler and Lemmey won't because one, he's a much better player and two, he has produced, have a look at the AA team. And playing the championship decider with a fracture in his leg didn't hurt either.
Good luck to whoever get's him because he won't be the big, strong, pack crashing forward that everyone wants on here. He won't play seniors for 3 years because he doesn't have the body. As I said, in a better draft year he would be a late second rounder
My advice to you is watch him play because you clearly haven't. There wouldn't be one club who classifies him as a pack bursting contested marking beast which is what you're ripping him for. He'll be an outstanding 3rd tall forward and debut well before 3 years is up which is one on the more ridiculous things I've read, I just can't take that seriously.
You''l be surprised who I've seen play and on more than one occasion. I'm very confident on my assessment. By the way, now you have him as a third tall, that's a bit of a drop.
Yeah absolutely, whether that's a personal fitness thing or more of a system thing is my main question for it, he's always the deep target for a chargers and Metro. He has shown he can get up the ground well enough when given a chance, so I'm more inclined to think it's mostly system.
doesn't scream power forward
We play team first football with everyone doing a role of tackling, chasing, etc.
Tony Shaw would be ropable
I don't believe your have, you stick with rating Keeler and Lemmey ahead of Jefferson, you're in for a rude shock on draft night(s) And I've never thought of Jefferson as a monster key forward so I'd appreciate you not putting words in my mouth. People who do that know they're going to lose.
I'm going to back him in if we pick him and consider him a dud if we don't.
Yep. Interesting stuff. Wasn't there interest in Poulter from Suns, could of got him a new home and gotten something in return
I think Poulter was only kept on the list until trade period because they were trying to get him a new home. His manager did an interview during trade week basically saying that he just wanted to get Poulter on a list - any list. He might get a chance to train with a club with a hope of preseason listing.Yep. Interesting stuff. Wasn't there interest in Poulter from Suns, could of got him a new home and gotten something in return
I think it means that we have to add 4 senior listed players - at least 3 in the draft and either a 4th in the draft or a DFA.
