    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).

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
