2012 Player Review - # 5 Jordan Gysberts

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

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
