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.

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?

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
