He was sounding like being close to selection when his finger came off 2nd best against a dumbbell.

I’m liking what I am seeing at the mighty G. Go Jordon.!!!!


Cant fault that debut...nice wow wow wee wow GIF

 

Great debut. 
James McDonald presented him his jumper. So lovely to have him back at the club. A real Melbourne champion. 


Great game, surprised me. Hopefully he can put some size on and keep up the good work

Very solid debut by JJ.  Commentators saying Jordan Lewis compared him to 2002 Brownlow Medallist Simon Black. 

He actually reminded me of Joel Corey.  Here’s hoping he can build a great career at the Dees in the Number 23.

I really liked 2 parts of his game. 

1. He pops in to dangerous areas of space especially in the corridor. I don’t know if it’s smarts, work rate or both but it’s good to see. 

2. Whilst I hate the pre tackling that is allowed it seems Jordon’s very good at it, he’ll lock on to an opponent and make sure he gets them 

His kicking is interesting, nice low trajectory but it worries me he seems to hit a bunch of them thin. Hopefully he keeps working on it and becomes reliable or even better than that. 


I genuinely thought I was watching James McDonald playing for us again yesterday.

And it’s not because this dude was wearing number 23. Well, not entirely because of that.

He seems to be the type of hard working, no nonsense, selfless, working class but effective, midfielder we’ve been missing.

 

Pleasantly surprised with JJ’s debut. Great work young man.

A cracking debut. Very close to BOG in the first half.

He really is a two way player. Even when he was quiet, he'd bob up with a smother, tackle or shepherd.

Here's hoping he can build on that.

Our younger up and coming players seem to all have a good amount of composure to them. Probably something to do with not being thrown in the deep end and being allowed to develop. Anyway....it’s good to see, solid debut by JJ. 

Here's hoping he becomes such a good player that is widely recognised to the extent that people realise his surname is spelled Jordon and not Jordan.  I know, I know, it's a forlorn hope.  :D

Upon replay viewing he was a lot more than solid.

That was a very impressive first outing after missing a whole year footy.  He seems to have some polish too and adds some silk to the midfield, something we needed in there.

Now to be greedy it would be good to see him getting around 20 possessions consistently the rest of the season.

 

Comparing him to “junior “. Is a huge call.   I do hope your correct. He  had a really nice debut. Not over the top but at times he had an important presence. He popped up at crucial times.  
 
better than I thought he would go but then the FD always phone for my recommendations. 
good luck to JJ

JJ backed up round 1 with another good effort v Saints.  Had 20 possessions and 9 tackles.  Seems composed and solid with the footy.  Still only 20 (December 2000).

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
