McKenzie was great today. So many of his tackles turn the game from worried defence into sweeping attack. Good to see our young'uns showing the older guys a thing or two about how to create a turnover.

or does it mean he is 2nd to the ball?

It means that if you get the ball and he is around you'd better have some fancy footwork or you will be eating grass.

yep, Mckenzie is awesome, he will only get better with more games. I can see why they were eager to get him into the senior side.

He is super impressive. Not only hard at it, I have confidence when he has the ball. Will beef up in 2 years and has nothing but upside! Exciting.

once he beefs up, those tackles are going to hurt the poor bloke being tackled :), he played a great game today. I am very impressed by the young man.

I think this kid is terrific!

But he's a rookie and only playing because of long term injury to (I think)Morton or Jurrah. Once one of them is fit what happens then? Do we lose him back to the rookie list and Casey?

I'm not clear on the rules, but I'm pretty sure we're allowed to keep one on the senior list. I wouldn't worry, the club will do everything it can to keep him on the senior list for the whole year, as he's easily in our best 22.

Every year you look for young kids to come in and grab a best-22 spot by the scruff of the neck ... Jordie's done that, and I don't think he'll be dropped again. Ever again. He's Junior junior. I love him already.

Luke Tapscott would be 1 on the LTI who will miss at least 3 months. If Jordie is still kickn butt I doubt they`d rush Luke in for a handful of end of season games if it meant losing Jordie for the year. He is 1st picked out of the 22 the way he`s travelling at the moment.

He started our run, and got plenty of clearances.

What was a great improvement, bar 1 kick, was his use of the ball. He hit targets, and lowered his eyes instead ofjust pumping the ball long.

In terms of his spot on the list, given that we have 3 elevated rookies now, it is up the club who they put back on the rookie list if the other player comes back to play. If all 3 listed players return, then all 3 rookie players need to go back to the rookie list. But I am sure there will be another injury or two (but I hope not) to assist with keeping Jordie on the list.

Great effort by Jordie, He set the tone early and didn't stop allday. He was also super effective by hand and foot.

Agree. Spoke to him recently at a function and he is a quiet but very determined boy. He would love nothing better than to have a great career with the Dees. He is on the way.

Jordie is an exciting prospect. Love his tackling and ball use. Should be a perfect complement to our emerging midfield gems.

The way we go with injuries he will play the whole year.

All the accolades given to this young footballer are well founded. He gives you that feel of security that we are going the right way. He will end up a very solid player(Ling type)whom will not only defend but create. Another poster thinks he is Kirk like- I feel Jordie has got greater depth and far better kick.Will allow young players like Blease, Bennell to be run with players whilst he either gets the hard ball or nullifies. Tapscott will be another hard nosed type when he begins. GO DEES.

Love love love him.

Goes about his business, is HARD at the ball and the man and is surprisingly good with his disposal.

Does anyone know why he wasn't picked up in the draft? What were his major deficiencies according to the recruiters?

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
