2020 Player Reviews: #23 James Jordon

The hard working midfielder was slowly working his way towards making his long-awaited debut at the highest level when a finger injury put an abrupt end to his season. Hopefully, he will get his chance in 2021.

Still out of contract?

Yes

There are others I'd cut first, but it doesn't bode well that he hasn't come close to a senior game over his two years on the list. Doesn't seem to have that stand out trait that will set him above the pack. Maybe a one year contract, if our draft position doesn't improve.


any body seen him play??

He is always spoken about pretty positively, but never really close to breaking into the side. It could go either way for him this off season.

I don't know if you bothered to watch any of Egan's brief reports post the scratch matches, but it was pretty clear that he was extremely close to getting a senior game when the finger injury hit.

I saw him down at Casey a few times in 2019 and liked what I saw. They were playing him mainly off half back that year, and while it didn't look like he'd be a superstar or anything, he was a very good kick and never looked rushed with ball in hand or with his decision making.  Allegedly moved into the midfield this year where he's looking even better.

Not super fast, but not slow either. Reminds me of Bryce Gibbs a bit actually in the way he plays.

 

Is this the guy we picked up with a 2nd rounder after trading two 2nd rounders to get that pick, and no one on the draft coverage had any idea who he was? Still know nothing about him.

He's an accumulator with vision and an elite kick. Has an uncanny knack of being involved in score involvements.

Leaves no stone unturned with diet, preparation or training.

His time will come.

No, I would say that is a weakness he needs to work on. Far from being a accumulator.

Sounds like something we lack badly.

I really hope we keep him, but seems strange if we rate him so highly why he isn't signed yet.

I'd be shocked if we don't sign him. Only thing I can think is it's due to the uncertainty on list sizes and they probably wanted to sign up players who were being targeted by other clubs first. eg Sparrow and Hunt.

He was in 2018 when they moved him into the midfield.

It's because he has two first names.

Think he only had 1 vfl game where he had over 20 touches.

Hard worker, willing tackler, but I don't think he has great upside as a ball winner if he can't use his run to find it on the outside. And his kicking is neat enough but doesn't stand out.

If it comes down prioritising Jordon, Nietschke, Bedford and Chandler I don't think he's clearly at the front of that list just on draft order alone.

I'd have all 4 back if we've got the list spots but it might be via the rookie draft or the supplemental list period or even via Casey.

I thought Bedford had potential to be a good small forward or even wing at a stretch but he hasn’t really been given much opportunity- doesn’t seem to get enough possessions so that’s something he will need to improve on

If you're talking about TAC cup, again he wasn't an accumulator. If you're talking about VFL, then the 18 games he averaged 15.2 disposals per game.

Not really exactly high numbers for a midfielder...

I thought he had a 41 possession game in 2018 when they moved him into the midfield. I could be mistaken.

He was playing school footy majority of that year.

Sorry 2019 for Casey

 

He’s a skilled youngster who is still only 19 (turns 20 in late December) as he was one of the youngest kids drafted in 2018.  I’m not sure he fits a midfielder (we are overstocked for inside mids) so I think he could be useful as a small defender.  Worth another year and perhaps try him at Casey across half back or defence.

Didn’t we draft and start him at half back and then moved him mid due to limited involvement? I agree if he is going to make it with us then he needs to show worth on a flank. Granted first port needs to be confirmation of his position on the list.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
