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: 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.
