Has some good long penetrating kicking, but so far is proving to be a good ordinary footballer. 

You need some of those, but I think we’ve probably got a few spares in that regard. Shame cos he seems like a good kid. Hope he gets a fat contract elsewhere.

    in terms of generation compensation for us?

    surely someone signs him on a ben mckay type deal and we get a band 1 immediately-after-our-first-rounder compensation...

    He is after all a Premiership player.

    Goody has been on the record saying he wants JJ at the club. It is opportunity (and contract length / $$$). I cant argue with him wanting to go for opportunity. He has been great at the Dees, he will be better somewhere else where he is one of the big 3.

    I'm in the minority but I thought he was great in 22' on the wing

    Reckon that's his best spot

    The greatest travesty of his time at the club was not running onto Optus stadium in the GF when it was in the bag. 
     

    I understand the ethics from the ‘game rules’ side of things but how about at a personal level?

    I very much doubt the AFL would’ve stopped it….. 😬

    Very sad to see him go. I rated Jordon. Was coming 4th in our B&F after Round 18 last year.

    We would have been stripped of the flag, 100 years of first and second round picks and fined 10 million dollars. It’s the AFL way. 
     

    (I’m surprised May’s hamstring didn’t require a last minute sub, with 10 mins left, I’m with you)

    i believe he only got delisted as the afl rule at the time was you had to take three 'live' picks into a national draft?

    in a choice between him and sparrow for the 'next man up' midfield role in our afl side, i'm choosing sparrow

    good luck to him; be interesting to see if he can be more than a role player elsewhere

    Sad to see him go, if we didn't have midfielders of similar ilk he'd probably get a regular game in his preferred position. It's a sign of the strength of the inside mids that he is leaving and not that the club doesn't value him. He will do well at another club and will become an important cog I'd imagine. We probably need to look at obtaining some insurance to replace him and Dunstan, but also to look at different type of midfielders with a bit more pace and penetration with their kicking IMO so that we have a range of midfield types rather than what we have at the moment.

    Always liked him. He will play a lot more AFL level football and I wish him the best, up to the traditional limit!

    I appreciate the courtesy of Twomey referring to him as Melbourne Premiership Player.

    We are the "good citizen" club, I would like a bit more of boldness and dare to step against the likes of bully media, clubs like Collingwood and Carlton.

    Good luck to him.

    Reality is, he's a very vanilla player. Serviceable, but doesn't excel in anything. Seems to be a player that may have been better suited to a previous era (i.e. late 90's / early 00s).

    What is annoying is the players that have a point of difference that we let go (i.e. Bedford; even Hunt for his sheer pace - which we lack).

    Happily give him a go ahead of Hunter. I'm so over watching Gunter butcher our momentum

    All the best JJ. Agree with others that it was a shame he didn’t get a run in 2021 GF.  Probably a wise move for him to try and get more regular game time elsewhere. 
    Hopefully a few clubs being in for him will push up the value of his contract and be beneficial to both him and the club.

    Thanks for the service, JJ. This is best for both parties.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
