     I acknowledge all the fans on here who wanted him delisted during his first two years at the club.

    I am sure once again, they will get right behind him as one of their own, if he makes it with us.

    I repeat what I said in his first year with us.

    "Give him time, he will be a good player for us IMO."

    Not every player is a gun from day 1. Michael Tuck played 50 reserves games before becoming a regular senior player. Similarly, Robert Dipierdomenico (how you spell that I don't know*) played 99 reserves games. Both went on to reasonably successful careers winning 7 and 5 premierships respectively (and a Brownlow Medal).

    We should be patient with all our players.

    The system does not allow patience now LDC. Those were the days when each team had real reserves teams and lists had 50+ players. You need to show something in 2 years or your chances are close to zero now. Average player career length is just over 3 years.

    It will be interesting to see how long he is with us.

    Late last year he was delisted (even tho he had a one year contract) to help meet the sal cap so he was made a rookie.

    Having been delisted once makes him a Delisted Free Agent at the end of this year so he can go to a  a club of his choice without being traded.  We get an FA comp pick but I would think it would be so late we wouldn't use it. 

    I know its a bit early to talk list management but if we want to keep him we may need to get in early.

    Jordon doesn’t need to be a gun. We have plenty of top end talent as it is

    We need foot soldiers who will play the team role, defend, block, tackle, run both ways. If he does that he’ll be an asset for us.

    He did. Chandler played against Sydney in a late season Friday night game.  Had 9 tackles.

    will do a discipline job when asked, and will go out and give 110%.

    Is it just me that expects this of every single player on our list though? Should be our baseline really. 
    All the best JJ and go Dee's!!

    Some players are naturally born with it, and some need actual training and education around this.

    Colin Sylvia and Jack Watts are two that spring to mind straight away.

    Good luck to him. Our team is crying out for some young depth in the 22, so he just needs to come in and do his role.

    Hoping a couple out of Jordon, Sparrow, Spargo, Chandler, Bedford etc can start consistently doing a job this season and cement their spots as those role players.

    Congratulations James Jordon, I, like many on here look forward to watching you out on the Gee tomorrow afternoon (Yayyy), what we really need at the Dee's is to continually improve our bottom 8 players as that has been the anchor holding us back, so James play your role and be one of those players that make us a better Team.

    Give it your all JJ.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    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. 
     

     

    With all the hype about his training and then getting a game against the dogs.

    I was expecting one to watch during that game. Was a fair bit disappointed, expected he might get a game early in the season, but game 1 that we must win. The selectors are very brave,

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
