Matthew Jefferson

The young key forward hasn’t managed to play a senior game since being drafted in 2022, but he was an emergency four times last year, so he is getting closer. Kicked 29 goals in the VFL from 17 games in 2024, including a bag of five and two hauls of four, to finish third in Casey’s best and fairest.
