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.

    The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

    Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

    It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

  • NON-MFC: Round 09

    Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
