We are absolutely ****ed in the head. Just fold the club ffs.
So basically casey lost , Jefferson down back , Petty mainly forward , Fullerton did some ruck work etc , the match report didn't list goal kickers or best players , and that's the match report on the web site .

Jesus. Im always an advocate for forwards to play some time back to see what they got but that is worrying that we've moved him already.

Petty didn't score, Schache kicked 3...
Yes and K.Brown and Moniz-Wakefield got a mention . I think they are playing jefferson down back out of necessity .
This is what they put up on web site -:

Change of position is usually a final Hail Mary before you move on and we are doing it in season 2. Why did we extend him last year if we have that little belief in him as a forward.

? Petty in the ruck sounds great. Hope the foot got a nice workout.
Kudos to the coaches for trying to break the crybaby campaigner before we ship him off to Adelaide.

Yeah saw that, more just think the selection chat will be interesting this week. On form, it's Schache ahead of Petty, but there's just no way that happens. Will make for some interesting posts this week re Goody's favourites etc.

Out of necessity my ass, you play hacks like Schache down back if its out of necessity. Thats a lie and we have actually given up or we have ******* no idea how to run a club. Either way its bad.

Either that or we are so desperately thin down back that's where we need him more. Either way not good.

You develop Jefferson as a forward and use no hopers like Schache out of position. The fact we are playing Schache forward over Jefferson is a serious problem either way.

I'm not talking about for Casey I'm talking about for this season and the future in the AFL. It's the only logical reason other than he's s**t I can think of

Yeah fair point, if Jefferson is too skinny and far off it to play ahead of Brown and TMac as a forward I dont hold much hope for him as a KPD.

I've never watched a second of him but maybe he's a lever backup as the interceptor?
He has delist smell all over him

We've got enough of those guys down back I reckon. We all should have seen this coming when Danster said he was better than Cadman pre draft.

Not at Jefferson's height though I don't think unless he's not that tall.
Considering there's no Tmac, Brown or JVR in the 2s and he's down back boy oh boy wowee

Disco is out but hes that height.
That is Turner (imo) but he is injured and Howes played seniors .

Then I just don't understand why he'd play back unless we think he's that s**t forward.
Neither do i .
Yeah, no idea. Theres nothing about him that screams defender. Has good mitts and reads the ball well in flight but has zero intensity or campaigner in him.
I imagine they're trying to get him to learn the defensive side of being a key forward (competitiveness, second efforts) as they think he'd be a liability if chosen right now with defenders just rebounding off him at will.
I don't think it's a good sign at all given our lack of developing talls up forward.

It's a VFL practice match. I'm not expecting a full blown report from the club though. Couldn't even care about the scores. Just a few things that stood out is fine.
Jeffe down back is a worry. I'd be surprised if he's on our list in 3 years if we're already trying him across HB. Seemed like a nothing pick when we took him. Hardly heard his name over preseason where they build up these blokes.
