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

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
