Hes a good young player is our Jordan.

He moves like a young version of Aussie basketball legend Andrew Gays,  and Melbourne supporters will be hoping he can own the wing like Demon great Robbie Fowler.


 

Liam Jarrah, Brock McClean, Brent Maloney and Ricky Pettard needed a thread like this 10 years ago.

Jeff Gartlett had a nice run too.


Sam Weideman, at various times, has been called Wiedeman, Weiderman and Weidemann.  

The gold medal however goes to the unfortunate and unnamed poster who spelled it as Wiedermann, thus getting it wrong three different ways in one go.

The original Weidemans may well have been Weidemanns. And everybody who wishes to be pedantic about this ought to be advised that Weideman is pronounced WAYDEMAN in German, or, to be perfectly correct Waydeman with a soft A, as in un-lock....

His first name is pronounced Hamez? Have I got that right?

Hey Dieter, if i can remember my German correctly - and I may not - i thought all German W's were pronounced as V's. So pronounced Vaydeman?


it is fun messing with the pedants and the posters with ODC.   just can't a letter out of palce

Nietschke, Fritsch and Bradtke I've noticed for some are hard to get right. Ironically Jordon is wearing number '23' which was made famous by Michael Jordan.

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
