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."

I found myself pregnant once. Then realised I was a guy and I was just fat.

He'll stay if MN wants him
