    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

Just watched a replay and amazed how good he Jordy was.

This bloke is a keeper.

at the bounce down he stands in the right spot usually in front of his man and either clears it or tackles.

Runs all day goes forward and back real, real hard all day long.

Good disposal.

Jordy is a different player to Scull and Trengove but is currently more valuable and might just be the most underated player on the list.

Anyone else think that Jordy has a genuine chance of becoming a great player?

May not get the recognition of Scully and Trengove, but will be every bit as important to the success of our midfield as we go forward.

Oh yeah. He had a huge impact on the game.

Definitely won't throw him back.

Chris Connolly said he thought he could be a 200 gamer.

It's interesting to me that the club clearly knew what they had. When we delisted Valenti last year there were plenty of us wondering where we would get a hard tackling in-and-under type. And now we have a 19 yo who is just as good if not better in the tackling and ball-winning arena, but is fast around the ground and a great kick. No way we can complain about that.

Hard to believe that this guy is yet to see his 20th birthday.

I love the fact that he politely declined an offer from Adelaide, then volunteered to stay on the rookie list. That's commitment well beyond the call of duty. He must have also been pretty confident that he'd be able to work his way out of there to put his balls on the line like that.

Couple that with the fact that he's so aggressive with his attack on man on ball on the field, and seems to lack nothing in general skill, there's nothing not to love about him.

I'm a massive fan.

I haven't seen any footage of Jordy before he started playing with us, has he always been this, um- aged beyond his years (for lack of a better word). Did we develop him nicely or has he just blossomed? Deciding to stay with us says alot mateship and should put fears of anyone going to GC to bed- Adelaide was surely a more tasty prospect at the time, however IMO friendships formed at a club hold stronger bearing than paper bags of cash. Or, maybe he just wants a premiership!

He is doing what Macca is doing with only a handful of games under his belt. If he can continue to improve he is going to cause one mother of a headache for his opponents each week.

I have said this in other threads, but the truth is I have never seen a young kid tackle like this - ever!

Jordie may not have the fanfare of the Sculgove twins, but his rise has been a massive part in the dees engine room functioning in 2010.

He has shown commitment to he jumper by staying when he could have left. Huge Wraps!

Number 13 caught my eye against hawthorn in round 1-about the only thing that did on that day.

Jordie is a Gun-Fearless Energy. His goal was superb, Gun Barrell Straight.

Without Liam Jurrah's unfortunate injury we would not have seen Jordie Mckenzie play yet.

He took his chance & is not letting go. Jordie just might be the one setting the new high Standards at Melbourne.

It does prove also that even with GC 17 & GWS the MFC must still recruit the right players in years to come. Good Players will still be out there.

Good on ya Jordie.

Jordie Mckenzie, the junk yard dog.

Does all the hard stuff you love to see in a player. Couragous, in and under and works incredibly hard. Seems to be matured years upon his age, hopefully will become a constant highlight in the red and blue.

CARN THE DEMONS!

I'm intotal agreement with everything you said there 'premiershipvigil', I think he is the most valuable of the young ones at this point.

And I reckon he probably is Rising star material.

So what happens if/when the injured player he replaced returns from the LTI? I think I remember something about being able to elevate one rookie mid-season regardless of injuries??? Is that still the case? Or was it ever the case?

And one thing I'm not 100% on in terms of LTI rookie elevations. Is it one for one? For example, if Jordie was elevated for Jurrah and Newton for Tapscott (not sure if that happened, but let's say it did), then would Jordie go back onto the rookie list when Jurrah returned and Newton when Tapscott returned? Or would it just be whoever we choose to keep as each player returned?

You can still elevate one rookie at mid-season, but even if you take Spencer & Newton into that equation Jordie wins hands down.

Not sure it's exactly "1-for-1" but considering there are, say, 3 long term injuries then we are able to elevate 3 rookies, but must drop one back when one of those injuries is declared fit to play. Jordie will be fine considering Tapscott won't be back before mid-season, nor Jurrah for that matter.

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt
