     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,

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
