    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 🏆

    Can anyone suggest a game or two that shows James Jordon at his best this year?

    I have some spare time......

    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.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
