Wasnt there some controversy about JJ being awarded a medallion. He wasnt in the 22 but was a medi sub who never stepped onto the ground.

He's going to feel uncomfortable at the  10  20 year reunions.

Whats your favourite footy moment in the 21 GF Jim,.....  errrrr   "celebrating with my teammates"

What else can he say,.... awkward.

Cue ground announcer: “Number 23…JAAAAMES JORDON!”

    I still think Jj is a better option than Hunter on a wing but I’m in the minority

    I note the WA press making much of his good game today...quoting him saying how much he likes playing back in his hometown  and how he used to support the Eagles. His contract wouldn't expire this year, would it?

    Would have thought todays game if anything reinforced his reasoning why not to join the Eagles.

    If I was drafted to a WA team I sure as hell would like playing on the G In my hometown as well.

    He’ll sign.

    Rivers joins the likes of Sparrow ,  Chandler & Jordon who would earn decent coin  at another club but given our book, probably sacrifices  upwards of 50-75k of his earning potential. Clubs will probably offer 100-150k per year more than we could .. that’ll be hard to say no to. 

    Rivers is probably the player we can most afford to lose, given the alternatives we have down back. Sparrow and Jordon I’d want to keep more. But thats just my opinion.

    I really like JJ but as a winger, Hunter is in a totally different league. His gut running, positioning and field kicking are all A grade. JJ is potentially more versatile but as a winger, he is a journeyman.

     For mine, we must keep Kozzie and Rivers. I’d like to keep JJ but if he or even hee and Hames were the price of keeping the other two I’d be okay with it.

    Rivers and Pickett are the two players that are refreshing our midfield. They are must keep in my eyes and that may mean Sparrow, JJ and/or Harmes leaves. That’s AFL footy.

    Feel like many Rivers has another level or 2. Will b3 a question of if he is willing to sacrifice the dollars to stay

    JJ is the most expendable of the three, clearly.

    He is a solid citizen but he doesn't have a point of difference whereas Sparrow is powerful and explosive, strong overhead and Rivers can play defence and is now running through the midfield and also possesses a strong overhead mark and penetrating kick.

    JJ is vanilla. And there are a thousand JJ's out there.

    Unfortunately for these guys, one or two may be squeezed out due to competition for spots and money. I hope it's not Rivers or Sparrow though, I'd rather it be JJ, Harmes, Dunstan etc. 

    Also, JJ on a wing over Hunter is a massive lol.

    Riv is developing really nicely, hope he stays.

    2027 takes him to when he qualifies for free agency.

    Very happy with an 8 year commitment to the club.  Can't ask for anything more than that. 

    Hopefully, he will have a few more premierships.

    People can relax about the 'Go Home' factor!!

    this is not just a great signing for the club, it's a really positive sign for the prospects of re-signing Kozzie as well!

    • AFLW REPORT: Adelaide

      Last week’s bitter disappointment turned into player-led resolve as Captain Kate Hore marched her team onto a pristine Princes Park under perfect skies.
      The #DeeArmy banner said Bring The Heat and the Demons delivered a fierce, high-quality contest and ultimately outworked and outpaced the gallant Adelaide Crows to win by 11 points.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Adelaide

      Noffy, Hatchy and Randy lead Adelaide’s finals-hardened flock to IKON Park for a blockbuster semi-final against Kate Hore and Hanksy’s mighty Demons.  Adelaide has dropped four of its past five matches at this ground — let’s hope that trend holds.  But don’t expect charity — Doc Clarke brings an experienced, battle-worthy murder of Crows.

      The Demons 2026 AFL Fixture is as good as can be expected considering their performances and finishes the past two seasons.

They will travel 8 times including their home game in the Alice, their Gather Round game as well as a match against the Hawks in Tasmania. They will face, the Bombers, Bulldogs, the Suns, the Tigers, the Hawks and the Dockers twice.
