I know Scully went mental last night and has the nomination for Rising Star stitched up and that should be highlighted of course, but Jordie was absolutely fkn magic.

His tackling and quick hands out of tight contests rarely missed a target. On top of that the boy was everywhere, and even as a huge fan of the kid, I didnt appreciate his engine enough.

He's not flying under the radar or anything but im not sure he is getting appropriate recognition. Reminds me of Junior with his tackling pressure and clearance work. You just cant rate that sort of effort highly enough.

Well done Jordie

Badly, badly missed last weekend

In the top ten required players without a shadow of a doubt

No wonder Adelaide wanted him really really bad, they need someone like him

Too bad he's OURS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was fantastic especially the last quarter as already mentioned he was badly missed last week and could have made a big diffirence too the result, as his replacement last week was Steph Martin who was horrible.

Anyway this kid is something special.

He tackles like his life depends on it. I remember a situation where a Doggie was running out of a tight contest, and McKenzie tackled and slipped, so only caught his jumper, and still managed to drag the Doggies player down. What a gun.

An integral part of our future and still a rookie! Wow, imagine how potent our midfield could be when they have had a couple of years playing together!

Last night

McKenzie

Warnock

Grimes

JT

Skulley

Green

Jones

were all top notch that list goes on for last night to be honest, we played better footy for 3/4 and I offended by the umpiring, they made errors in all areas, goal boundary and central.

Skulley was BOG for me and we got a glimpse into the future and it looks very exciting.

How/why was he missed? A player this good at his age?

The footy department are looking veeeeery very clever.

BP's first rookie draftee, I believe. And looking like a hum-dinger.

If Jordie had not already done so in the first few rounds, he certainly cemented his spot in our best 22 last night. Surprises like this bloke are making going to the footy so enjoyable right now. Hard nut too, imagine how good he will be when he puts another 5 or 6 kilo`s on!

Love Jordie. He's fast becoming one of my favourites. Really nice bloke too.

Interesting what CC said about him on 7 last night "We knew we had a beauty within the first two months he was with us..." or something like that.

His hands are fantastic. While others fumbled, he was clean. Gysbert looks to be that one touch player too. Scully, Trengove, Mckenzie, Gysbert. Bang bang bang bang.

Because of Sculls and JT he is getting lost in the side and very few recognise just how good he is, Brereton mentioned he is a hard at it in and under, well we know he is much more than that.

His kicking and hand skills are very good and if it was any other year the media would be singing his praises.

I noticed how he set off several chains of play that resulted in goals. What about Grimes he is flying under the radar as well.

He had corrective hip surgery in 2007 and missed most of that season and part of the 08 season so wasn't obviously seen in his last two years of junior footy.

I remember BP saying at the time, as soon as the draft was over his first call was to Jordie!

Must have seen something in him pretty early on, but BP is proving to be a very good talent spotter!

I don't think Grimes is flying under the radar- I think he is being developed in the backline- but before long - maybe after a preseason or two to develop his stamina will end up like a Hodge type.Play him anywhere ,but midfield will be best position for him.

What I meant by that is the lack of media attention Grimes and Jordie get, they are very rarely mentioned when commentators discuss the Dees. It's like they're our own little secret.

Wasn't it Hudson too? Not a small bloke by any means.

The less attention MFC receive from the media the better.

I can remember a few years ago, when melbourne had a KILLER winning streak and ended up top of the ladder, the media was all over the MFC, subsequently MFC lost games and just made the 8.

Media STAY AWAY, nothing for you to see here.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
