Jordie McKenzie wins North Adelaide B & F

[Elwood 3184 1,298]

Congratulations to former Demon Jordie McKenzie on winning the B & F at SANFL club North Adelaide.

[Rodney (Balls) Grinter 10,791]

Great to hear, but hardly surprising though.  Was sad to see Jordie go, always gave 110% out on the field and hard as a cats head.  Was a pitty his skills weren't quite up to senior AFL standard, but it's clear he is a good footballer.

A fierce competitor who gets the best out of himself. I'm really glad to hear he is doing well!

Thanks for the update Elwood

Thanks for informing of this. Well done Jordie.

...and his sister was a good looking sort and a refreshing change on the clubs in-house media videos.

She was good in that role. Very genuine. She has a bubbly personality which I didn't find annoying, which is uncommon.

Does this give us an excuse to upload that tackle again? 

Always loved Jordie. Even when I thought his name was Tommy.

Rookie him.

Well done Jordie.

Didn't mind Jordie but unfortunately wasn't AFL standard. Wasn't much else to choose from in that Draft, though, and we ended up with Garlett anyway.

[Ricky P 757]

Always like Jordie. Gave 100%. Good on him for the b&f and thanks for the info.

Jordie tried but was a few skills short of AFL. Lovely bloke though.

I was leaving training at Gosch's one day and Jordie was doing some additional skill drills with Daniel Cross . I asked him if this was the footy equivalent of kp. He looked confused for a moment and then the penny dropped and he burst out into a hearty laugh and wished me well.

As I said lovely bloke.

Well done

A true honest dryer who gave his all

Had all done the same we would have done far better

May wish to edit Mono!

I will never forget the fact that he was the ONLY one who gave his all on the day of 186...and it was such a shame that his skills just never really developed.

Good on you Jordie we all applauded your efforts and determination, lacked the necessary support to improve those critical skills required to make it at AFL level, if he came through now he probably would have had a real chance to make it. 

[Vogon Poetry 2,095]

Needless to say he won the Coaches Award as well. 

[Vagg 2,437]

Always gave his best.  Can't ask more than that.  Regrettably, wasn't quite good enough on the big stage.  But, very pleased to hear he has had a great year in his new comp.  Always had a soft spot for Jordie.  Good on him!

Well done to Jordie on his b & f but I'm not a fan of giving the coaches award at a club to the b & f winner. The b & f is essentially the coach's award. Spread them around I say.

[daisycutter 29,600]

well done jordie

all those saying he wasn't afl level seem to be missing the point. anyone who plays 79 games is obviously afl level. most here would give their left one just to play 1 game. i also don't understand why in a thread congratulating jordie, so many posters seem to want to add this misguided comment. relevance?

Jordie is a great bloke with a determination for the contest. Great to hear that he won Nth Adelaide B&F. Not surprised as he excelled in the VFL.

His skills and decision making let him down for AFL.
