    Could be 10 from 10 in his first 10 games.  Simply unbelievable

    Love his hard running, strong tackling and tidy skills.

    Let's hope he challenges Joel Selwoods record of success..

    Looking back, he was an excellent draft pick by JT that mirrored the need by the footy club.  JJ was the youngest player drafted in his year as he scrapped into the eligibility by 11 days. Had played school footy predominately and rose up the draft order on the back of his TAC cup GF performance.  
     

    💙❤️Good skilled ball user 

    💙❤️Wins his own footy 

    💙❤️Good character 

     

    in JT we trust 🏆

    Now I have only watched the first quarter.  JJ had 10 disposals, had a hand in the Swans first 2 goals, disposal by foot was terrible but did dish out some good hand passes.

    On to the second quarter.

    I thought he was one of our best yesterday against Collingwood.  His stat sheet is very impresive for a youngster finding his way.

    Team high for Metres Gained and Score Involvements.  29 disposals at 82.8% efficiancy.

    Has put contract talks on hold.

    Was very good on the weekend. 

    Certainly was, just thought he was exactly what we needed for this game.

    If I'm his manager and I'm seeing either Harmes or Sparrow ahead of him in the pecking order for the remainder of the season, I'm encouraging him to explore his options!

    Absolutely. 
    I can totally respect that he’d get a game at most clubs and if he’s struggling to get one at ours he has every right to explore that. 
    He is way way too good to play VFL.

    I'm a JJ fan, and thought he was hard done by at the selection table last year. Whilst others were struggling, JJ would be the first player dropped. He showed his class on Sunday.

    Wouldn't blame him if he walked.

    I really rate JJ. Having watched Adelaide play Port on the weekend, they are setting up nicely to be a force in a few years. The midfield depth is their weakness and I could see him being a good replacement for Rory Sloane (who really wound back the clock last weekend). Sparrow could also be a target. Previously I thought that Sparrow would be the one to keep, and have been expecting him to breakout, but I think he might not have the game awareness and craft of JJ. It might be a fascinating watch this year as to who progresses further.

    I see Harmes as being “I’m Melbourne, Tony”, but maybe we do have to be supportive of him finding a new home if it means we keep both the SA boys

    JJ is from Yarrawonga. Kade Chandler from SA.

    Fair enough for him to wait and see. I hope he stays, but if we win another flag this year someone like him may leave for more money.

    If I had to choose between paying Kozzie and JJ I know who I'm choosing....

    I wouldnt blame him, but id blame the club immensely!   

    A 22yr old AFL-grade midfielder who wins his own footy, uses it very well, is fit/healthy and who's had 360 and 445 possession in his first 2 years.   For all the hyperbole Adam "what's my strengths again" Cerra gets, JJ is a demonstrably better footballer.  Whatever the tough decisions are here, they need to get it done. He's got a 200 game career ahead of him for someone.

    Simple

    JJ > Harmes

    More consistent, better ball use/decision making, better tank, better tackling, pressure, and overall defensively.

    The only thing Harmes does better is also what makes him a liability and thats taking the opposition on with fend off's and breaking tackles. Harmes used to be a great contested mark for his size but even that's gone down hill.

    I love James Harmes and we all know his story growing up a Melbourne Demon supporter etc. He's been a terrific leader and when the team is playing well he still performs well. But JJ is far more reliable now. I hope the FD know this and Harmes becomes the depth player behind JJ.

    I totally agree. Both Harmes and Melksham really shouldn't be getting selected ahead of the likes off JJ.

    Now's the time to be giving the younger ones games.

      It's Game Day or has everyone given up. Maybe it is because a prime time Friday game is so rare ... double checks today is Friday ... Come on DL'ers support the team one last time for the year!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The Demons return to Casey Fields (aka the Field of Dreams) this Saturday to host the Saints in Round 2. If you’re feeling lucky, head down the Monash for some family-friendly footy—you might even walk away a winner. The first 5,000 adults through the gate will receive an entry into the $10,000 helicopter ball drop. With Casey’s infamous wind, what could possibly go wrong? Closest ball to the pin wins. So spread the word, get down there—and good luck!

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
