Here’s to an auspicious debut and a successful career. Do the jumper proud # 23!

 

Congratulations to J Jordon. But seriously.. Yuk!!! I’d love to be proven wrong.. But I just don’t think he offers anything. 

  • Demonland changed the title to James Jordon to debut Round 1

[censored] me lads and ladies... a lot of apathy/unfounded angst towards a bloke that hasn't played a game yet.

...and you call yourselves supporters ?

I think he has composure and can offer outside mid skills., it is something we need.

Blood them early, get him understanding what it takes at the highest level.

Good early call.

Haven't really seen him play what's consensus on his positives, improvement areas and position?

Positives: 2 way runner,  spreads well from the stoppage, tackles hard.

Improvement: Penetrating with disposal, decision making.

Position: Midfield. 

 


My little brother grew up with him in Yarra.. Jimmy is already teeing up tickets for him and the lads down this way.

This post after ONE negative comment?

Going a bit early arent you?

Looked good against Richmond, struggled against the Dogs. I'd suggest he often starts at half forward and swaps with Petracca a fair bit or even Clarry to go do the midfield running whilst they rest deep forward. 

If we move the ball it brings his tank in to play more and whilst his disposal has been hit and miss I'd suggest there's a chance of some good kicking in there.

Freo are super hard working and disciplined so his tank should suit, particularly at the G.

He hasn’t played a game yet, give the kid sometime to feel comfortable at the level.

Seriously. F&ck I hope he proves you wrong. I assume your opinion is based on a detailed view of the growth in his game over the last 3 years and not based on him playing second mid against the dogs first string midfield last week. 

Allegedly works his butt off. Allegedly team first. Allegedly plays his role. For every Martin and Cotchin you need your Broads, Caddy’s and McIntosh. Does not need to get a heap of ball just work hard and do the job set for him. 

Best of luck Jimmy J. Do what got you a game, work hard and play your role and hopefully its the start of a long career. 

Best wishes for a long and successful career in the red & blue JJ.  If you are half as good as a previous #23 (Junior Mac), you will serve our Club well.

ps.  from the very limited bits I've seen of JJ, I can see a few similarities with Junior.

Think of him as a James McDonald type more then anything. Coaches love him, will do a discipline job when asked, and will go out and give 110%. Has worked incredibly hard to get to AFL level due to a few rejections at TAC cup level.

Knowing his parents well in Daryl and Prue Jordon, they will be extremely proud this Saturday. 

On ya Jimmy.

Good luck James!! Struggled against the best kid in the comp last week but will be better for the run. Has size, has run, looks tough. 

take the opportunity. Play your role and Max and Jack will be happy

The article is incorrect in one aspect. He was born on 20 December, 2000 according to the club’s pen pictures which makes him 20 years old - not 22.

Is this numerologically propitious WJ? JJ’s debut is also slated for the 20th!

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
