I have not really seen him play

What are his skill sets??

    Here's to the Jordan family having a great time watching their son fulfill his dreams after such a long lead up. Let's hope he gets an early touch to settle the nerves.

    Good luck young fella. Do the team stuff and tackle like it's your last game.

    Showed a bit in the first practice match. Decent tackler, neat enough disposal, doesn't mind getting hands dirty... Congratulations to the young man!

    Jordans selection wasnt predicted so which player misses out?

    Won't  be ANB. He'll be playing.

    Jones Spargo Harmes.

    All of these guys selected on the vast MCG doesnt fit.

    Jones misses?

    [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 ?

    One negative comment doesn't equate to a lot of apathy and unfounded angst by posters . I'll bet that most demonlanders like me want to see a young guy make a successful debut and forge a long career with the club.

    Which has been liked by three other posters so far.

    I’ll back the kid in, but can see why posters are sceptical. He played an ordinary game against the Doggies, so I’m guessing that his selection is based on training standards.

    Good luck to JJ.

    I guess that rules out Bowey making a debut as well? 

    Not necessarily he was as good show early in week, will all depend on Salem fitness and if Jetta is given the spot for few weeks to prove himself

    I’d be surprised if Chunk plays but seems like he will.

    He had a mare against the doggies but hopefully he proves us all wrong

    With Viney to return in coming weeks I think Harmes may miss.

    I've got a few wraps for him.   Yes when we had a seconds midfield against the dogs we got smashed and he was number 2 or 3 in that.  But it is what you would expect.  If he becomes number 4,5 or even 6 it is a huge difference where his opposition is not so good.   I watched the bulldogs from level one at Marvel and he was sometimes out of position at the centre bounce where the bulldogs took the ball from their defensive side to get the clearance.   Then I went home and watched the first 2 quarters and last quarter (we were thrashed in the 3rd)  where generally we were on par with the bulldogs.   I noticed that jordan was instrumental in the chain leading to 3 goals, so he has smarts.   We know our midfield and defence is pretty ok but struggle to kick enough goals to win games.   If he can do that each week he will contribute

    I certainly hope Harmes is in. With Viney out and Jordan playing his first game, on the back of ordinary (being polite) preseason form, this has the potential to backfire on the selection Committee.

    I’m sorry, but Jordan must have trained the house down to have warranted selection. You can’t tell me he was picked based on the way he played in either preseason game.

    Good luck to him. After Gysberts debut I try hard not to judge players on first glance. Not overly impressive last game on a glance, but better judges select the kid and hopefully he rewards their faith. We do need something else in our midfield and Jordan has been getting high praise from VFL watchers for a while now. Selection based on merit and best fit it seems. Good luck James

    Well said KK and congratulations James ( my middle name) good luck and you deserve all you get from the hard training and effort  you have out in.

    Hope fully a long and successful career with the Dees and you are ready and raring to join the boys in a journey we all don't know what it will provide.

    Such a thrill to play your first game on the G on the opening round with all the excitement but just play your role in the team and we will end up in front.

    All the best James and go Dees.

    • 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.
