     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,

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
