    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
