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

Playing well!!

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

Good point of difference 

[Pickett2Jackson 3,904]

He was solid.

Sparrow will make way for Viney.

[Little Goffy 9,945]

Some kids just rise to the level when exposed.  A fine debut.

Cant fault that debut...

[Jaded No More 42,826]

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

[Reader 99]

Played well could have had 2 goals

Great player development by MFC

[Elegt 872]

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.

same as in Bulldogs game - very instrumental in scoring passages.

Well done JJ?

[DeeSpencer 20,071]

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.

 

[Dee Zephyr 14,411]

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

[Cheesy D. Pun 1,757]

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.

[Ethan Tremblay 26,422]

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. 

[Demonstone 15,813]

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.

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.

[640MD 1,951]

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).
