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.

 

 

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.

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 ??? ??

 

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.

 

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!

 

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: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
