James Jordon to Debut Round 1

[layzie 33,752]

Good on him, that's massive. Will back him in 100% 

[Graeme Yeats' Mullet 6,772]

Big bodied mid, good on paper, hope he grows fast into the role

[Kent 2,906]

I have not really seen him play

What are his skill sets??

[faultydet 7,594]

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.

[dee-tox 4,835]

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. 

[daisycutter 29,604]

picking the sub will be interesting

maybe jonesy or majak????

Which has been liked by three other posters so far.

Congrats Jordan. Hope you play your role well and enjoy your debut with a win.

[Kick_It_To_Pickett 3,291]

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

Do the #23 proud

With Viney to return in coming weeks I think Harmes may miss.

[Bombay Airconditioning 6,359]

Congratulations, exciting times ahead.

[stinga 557]

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 news. Hope Dees get a win to really help him celebrate his first game. 

[KingDingAling 3,752]

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.
