Jordan had a really tough pre-season last year.  He worked really hard to get up to an AFL level of conditioning and strength, and then unfortunately developed a broken jaw and a quad injury in the first half of the year, which really impacted the amount of games that he played.  He came back in Round 11, and started to put together a good block over four or five weeks to put himself back into contention to play AFL footy again, and was rewarded with a game in Round 19 against the Gold Coast.  Gyssie’s really improved his running, which has again helped with him playing consistent footy in the second half of the year.  He’s a very good stoppage player, very good inside player, and just needs to keep working on that balance to become an inside/outside player.  Pre-season is going to be really important for Gys, to make sure that he can try and get through uninterrupted from injury - if he does that, he’ll keep progressing to being the AFL player that he’s capable of being. - Aaron Greaves (midfield development coach) melbournefc.com.au

    Gys is defnitely a keeper. Had he not had an injury interrupted year then i think he would've been in our side for the majority of the season. Yes he probably doesn't have the fitness required to be a consistent player in the AFL yet but he showed us all what he is capable of when he debuted for us against geelong and a few games after, he just needs to have a bit of luck with no injury this year and this will make his confidence grow. hopefully he stays and doesn't go to geelong!

    'Developed a broken jaw'? As far as diagnoses go, that's up there with: "I found myself pregnant."

    He'll stay if MN wants him

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
