I said he could play earlier in a Gunston type role. He is athletic and very good on the lead. Players can start in a different role to what they end up playing as they fill out.
He may not fill out and could end up more like Jack Watts. He could fill out and turn into more of a Max King type player.
Lucas Cook?Doesn't make sense. Max king is a straight up a down key forward who uses his height and has terrible skills especially with his goal kicking.
Jack Watts was undersized and didn't have height at all, but was an extremely skillful player who was pigeon holed during his development.
They play/played nothing alike
Oooh baby. Feed him to my veinsLucas Cook?
Yeah i like the pick (prob a bad sign), just glad we didn't give up 3 1sts for pick 4, i was ready to facepalm but thankfully no need. Imagine basically giving up more than we got for Jackson for a random pick 4.I think it's time to get a bit excited about Jeffo!
1) He's victorian. There's no go-home factor. So if he makes the grade, he's ours.
2) He's a key forward. A big need.
3) He's agile
4) He has great soft hands with marking. Something that Jackson didn't have who always double grabbed everything.
5) He has a high ceiling. If he was even 5-7kg heavier, he would've gone top 10.
Well Jack Watts was 196cm or so and we hoped he would be a key forward. We didn’t draft him pick 1 and hope he would turn into the player he was.Doesn't make sense. Max king is a straight up a down key forward who uses his height and has terrible skills especially with his goal kicking.

No current season stats available
I agree, no point dwelling on the pick, we've got him now. I'm going to be optimistic that he will become decent in the future.I think it's time to get a bit excited about Jeffo!

I'm not until he plays VFL at a minimum. Plenty of young key forwards don't even play well at VFL level. If he's any level of a talent he's still gonna play some big games in the VFL next year. If he only relied on his athleticism against under age kids then he's gonna struggle big time and it'll show.I agree, no point dwelling on the pick, we've got him now. I'm going to be optimistic that he will become decent in the future.
yeah..?? another odd post.Lol things to get excited about our pick,
he's Victorian
Heaps of upside ( code for currently s**t)
He plays in a position we don't have lots of
* I'm shaking at the prospect
Jason Taylor wanted to get up a little bit higher in the draft to get Jefferson according to Cal Twomey. Also, WCE were super keen on Jefferson. if he was a WA kid then WA would've got him.We got rid of a bloke who just didn't have it from a physical point of view and have just drafted exactly the same type of player.
Good luck when he comes up against the bigger key defenders of the competition. Long long way to go in getting to an AFL sized key forward.
Key forwards don't slide to 15 very often that are decent. Teams normally reach for them as a need not because they are any good. There's a very good chance he never plays for Melbourneyeah..?? another odd post.
he could be. 50% of first rounders turn out to be busts. So pick the guy with a high ceiling.Yeah, I don't see it.
He looks like a Josh Schache/Sam Weideman hybrid
Prove me wrong JT, prove me wrong
2022 draft class profile: Mathew Jefferson
Get to know top prospect Mathew Jefferson ahead of the 2022 NAB AFL Draftwww.nmfc.com.au
Who knows why this on the North page.
I like how he talks himself up. Doesn't talk in a bunch of cliches about team or whatever the crap like Weid did, who is a lovely bloke mind you. Jefe's all about take mark, kick goals, do defence & s**t. Says he bases his game on Charlie Curnow & Aaron Naughton.
Gun in the making. Here we go.
If WC were super keen on him then they would have grabbed him with their two earlier picks they had in front of us lol..Jason Taylor wanted to get up a little bit higher in the draft to get Jefferson according to Cal Twomey. Also, WCE were super keen on Jefferson. if he was a WA kid then WA would've got him.
It's usually me that bashes players. Jason Taylor deserves more credibility. Taylor is a no nonsense guy. He would've seen something in Jefferson that gave him the confidence to pick him early.
I hope we pick up another key forward with 37. Or trade up and get Gruzcewski
Also apparently Taylor wanted to get Jefferson badly meanwhile he literally tried to trade 3 first rounders to get to 4 and get no where near Jefferson.If WC were super keen on him then they would have grabbed him with their two earlier picks they had in front of us lol..
Making zero sense.
