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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
