    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

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

    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.

    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.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
