Hun article on Jordie

What a guy, I had never heard about this crows offer before, or that he was injured for a large portion of the TAC cup. It is shaping as a grey value rookie pick. In the article he says he's not theist skilled player but I would disagree with that I think his kicking is great, accurate and smart. He's a hard nut too!

Add that to the fact that he volunteered to stay on the rookie list so the club had an extra draft pick -- he's a guy who has obviously put the team ahead of the individual; more than once.

I really hope he turns out to be good enough so that he can be rewarded for his loyalty.

First I've heard of the Adelaide offer. Makes his decision to stick with us on the rookie list, for less money and security, even more impressive.

It shows that while Luke Ball and others might not rate us, this young group knows they're going somewhere. Rather than go play finals now Jordie elected to stay with us and work his way off the rookie list because "there's exciting times ahead for us here."

I've been a fan since the run of televised Casey games last year and look forward to seeing a lot more of Jordie in the red and the blue for years to come.

Stories like this are significant.

Hearing stories like this, and others such as Trengove and Scully enjoying being at the dees gives me a lot of hope for the future.

Loyalty is what dynasties are built on.

Great artical and what a fantastic LOYAL young kid, It looks to be the perfect marriage Jordie loves the dee's and will do anything to help the cause and the Dees love Jordie's attitude and application and will be rewarded for effort. The world would be a better place with more level headed Jordie's

Other than the obvious parts of the story, there is a significant little nugget in this piece for all armchair experts (that's almost everyone who reads this site, BTW): a lot happens about players, clubs, planning and contracts that no-one knows about. Now I'll just wait for someone to become hysterical about the fact that the club didn't tell us tha tAdeliade was trying to pinch one of our players.

Definately! I love the new culture which Jimma, Bails et al are slowly but surely establishing at our great Club. Just compare Jordie's decision with that of Chris Johnson just over 12 months earlier, or Brock McLean's more recently.

Very rarely you read a football story which genuinely makes you believe that some footballers still feel strong loyalty to their club, the jumper they are wearing, and their teammates, and not just money. This is one of those stories.

Jordie is now automatically someone you just want to see succeed and have a long career. What a great kid!

Loved reading this. To turn down an offer to go onto the senior list of a potential top-4 team this year and to stay on the rookie list of the double-reigning wooden spooner shows the loyalty and love for Melbourne in this kid.

Furthermore, the fact that Neil Craig saw something in him shows the potential this guy has to make it at AFL level.

Hopefully this is the start of a successful career with Melbourne.

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
