Just announced JJ Round 8 Rising ⭐️ Star. Well done James.

 

Grats young fella.

Has had a great start to his career and shows how valuable a reasonably long apprenticeship in the 2's is.

Surprised me how good he has been tbh. I have never bagged him (iirc) but didnt have a great deal of confidence that he would play as well as he has. I have been consuming my share of humble pie this year i must say.

 

Congrats JJ?

Well deserved recognition. 

Jordon Jones is going to be a rock in the coming years. Like his defensive work.

Love that he’s got the recognition.

Great little bit of development by the club I reckon - this is his third season on the list, but he just simmers away in the background until he’s ready, and makes an immediate impact when he forces his way in. 

Really enjoyed his year so far and looking forward to seeing how far he can take it.

Well done young man. Thoroughly deserved.

This guy is already a solid citizen in the best performed team this season. There would not be one teammate who wouldn't be happy to see Jordon in the vicinity, nor one opponent who would be expecting to easily avoid being tackled by this bloke. 

Well deserved gong !!!!

All reports prior to the season said he was flying and almost a lock for the first game.  Fair to say i for one did not expect him to play so well.  He is not BOG every week but playing really well and deserves all the kudos from earlier in the year. Definitely a regular and first pick in the 22,   Well done.

Congratulations JJ. Hope he becomes a future club champion and Premiership player. 

Well in James excellent season to date, great recognition for the young lad.

Dees on ??? ??

 

When you are 8-0 and have 2 rising star nominations in the first 8 weeks. #lifeisgood

Tough, smart and skilled midfielder.  

Great recognition for his hard work.

Congratulations JJ. 

Didn't know if he was going to make it, but he's exactly the balance we need in our midfield. Can play inside and outside, great defensive side to his game. Good user of the footy. 

Well done and well deserved. A very good first 8 games...

We have some great stock for future leadrs

love his application 

Thought he might be a sneaky chance this week.  Great recognition for a very consistent year.

 

Reminds me of Junior. Tough bugger. 
Big fan. 

The older types on here will remember when a bloke by the name of Andrew Obst came over to join the Dees.

Can't recall exactly who said it, but clearly remember one of the team staff claiming that he would be a "mild sensation".

This young fella has a bit of Andrew Obst about him. Not necessarily his game style, but his worth to the team.

He and me mates still call Hunt "the new Oba". Highest compliment we've got for number 29. 

Talk about tough.  Well deserved and earned.

Great reward for hard work and effort, well done JJ!

Well done JJ. 

This shows the value of developing our kids at VFL level and blooding them when ready. From the time Junior presented him with his jumper and the way he performed in his first game I knew we had a solid mid. Great result and great numbers in the midfield.

Seeing him in #23 brings back those memories.
