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!

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
