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)

    All the best to JJ. From rookie to playing a role in our premiership year.

    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.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      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?

      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.
