    I love this kid, thanks James Jordon and MFC for doing the right thing by the kid. J J will become a Rigoni / Leonchelli type player for us, just playing his role at present but has skills and courage to become a great link man for us. Does that mean he has been elevated to senior list??

    And so has Petracca but Melbourne supporters have the constitution of an infant with hand foot and mouth so here we are...

    Very pleased.  Because we delisted him and made him a rookie in 2020 he would have been an FA this year and gone anywhere.

    Great to see our investment in and support through injury of another youngster yielding rewards for him and the club.

    I bet that Melbourne is working to extend the contracts of both Trac and Jackson as we speak.

    I know they are signed until the end of next year, but that will come around very quickly, and if we are to target someone like Merrett in the off season, we need to re-sign as many of our top players as we can so we can assess where our salary cap is at.

    Very big call but I think you are correct.

    I'm expecting @demonstone to pop up more than once in this thread.

    I've seen Jordon's contract and it includes a clause that stipulates that he gets a $100 bonus each and every time somebody spells his name wrong.

    I mean, it's great that he's signed and all that, but this is going to send the Club broke.

    To me, the following quotes from the MFC announcement epitomize the way  JJ is now playing for us:

    "James has worked diligently on all parts of his game, and is now getting reward for his hard work"

    " he is a really mature young man with a terrific attitude"

    Not all players can be stars, but diligence, hard work and the right attitude can take you a long way!

    He’s a lifetime free agent is he? Every time he comes out of contract he can choose where he goes, good luck to him!

    Obviously he has a big tank and is strong for a young player but I reckon there’s a fair bit more to work on building his power and explosiveness too. He might not be Tracc or Oliver but he’ll be a handful to tackle or go get tackled by. 

    They’ve kept his game time low and just asked him to do his job. Moved him around with some wing and forward minutes and the centre square stuff. He’s made a great start.

    Nice comparison.

    Important players in their own rights.

    technically as this season is his first on the rookie list a 2yr deal could mean he stays as a rookie and then gets upgraded at the end of that? or can rookies only sign 1yr deals? OR have we just decided to upgrade him again at the end of the season since we now know how many picks we're allowed to take and still baring in mind list sizes will shrink again at seasons end by possibly 2

    I must admit to hardly ever noticing him in the game telecasts.  He seems to just slip under the radar and just goes about his job.

    Hopefully we can get Alex Neal-Bullen signed up too. OOC at end of the year.

    I can see North offering ANB $800k on a 5 year deal.

    How much of a luxury has it been being able to have these young players just simmer away in the background and develop in their own time instead of being put in the cauldron too early in their career? Jimmy is a great example. Comes in and looks pro from day one, but in reality has put in a tonne of work to get here. Awesome.

    I wonder if he'll end up being better than both, injuries notwithstanding. Injuries really cruelled Rigga and to a lesser extent, Andrew.

    That is just terrible salary cap management!!

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      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.
