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.

Video posted showing Gawny announcing Jordon’s debut.  Good luck fella.  Suggest for @WERRIDEEhe starts on the bench?

Jordon to debut in round one

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.

congrats to him, please perform for the first two months - my supercoach team is relying on it

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

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

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
