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.

...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.

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.

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.

A true honest dryer who gave his all

Had all done the same we would have done far better

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.

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!

Needless to say he won the Coaches Award as well. 

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.

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?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
