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!”

No idea why I've never thought of this till now..

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?

Links?


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.

Looks to be staying until 2027!!!

posted in another thread but

 

 

 

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!

Awesome news, the club just announced it.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

  • CASEY: Richmond

    The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
