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.

    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.

    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. 

    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.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
