    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.

    And what player would not sign on.

    We are finally becoming the destination club we wanted to be.

    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!!

    • 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.
