23JamesJordon2021.png

After waiting in the wings for two seasons, Jordon got his opportunity in the opening round game against Fremantle and established himself as a hard worker in the team’s second tier of midfielders, also gaining a rising star nomination. Later in the season, he shared that position with Tom Sparrow who shaded him out of the starring 22. Jordon was left outside looking in as medical sub late in the season, a position he occupied in the grand final but he was never out of the 23 player list for the club’s 25 matches.

    I am really looking forward to seeing JJ in 2022 he has shown that he can fill in multiple roles but next year he will need to find his spot in the team as LJ, Riv, Kozzi, Sparrow and Bowey have done. Another big preseason please JJ.💕❤️💙

    I wonder how he has dealt with getting a Premiership medallion without getting onto the ground? 

    Shame Maysie didn't take himself off about half way through the final quarter to give JJ a run. He (Maysie) was physically done.

    May is nearly 30, he has played for many years and these were his first finals. He deserved to be on the ground at the end.

    We tried to get him on.

    There is no reason it had to be May either.

    JJ had a fantastic debut year,  based on a strong pre season, and very solid performances in most games where he took the field.  He’s not a ‘flashy’ player, but (I expect) just gets the job done as the coaches ask of him each week. 
    Spazz overtook him in the last 1/4 of the season, but I reckon they both have strong futures at the MFC.

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
