Thought Jordon had a rough run in & out of the side BUT you can't dispute that he had plateaued.  Wish him luck but not devo at this announcement.

    Meh, another draft pick to add to our war chest. JJ had some games where I thought wow he's playing well today, and others where I had to double check if he was selected. Not the type of player we'd over value and be desperate to keep, right call by both parties.

    Depends on the contract he is leaving on. Could be for no return.

    Good teams need role players and he did it very well

    Good player. played 65 games in 3 years (51 games if you don't count sub as games)

    Probably the most unlucky player ever. Played 25 games in his first season in 2021 but did not play in the GF.  Just brutal

    Wish him all the best

    He won't be going on big coin. I reckon we'll get roughly what we drafted him at.  end of second round seems fair

    I can see us on-trading that for McAdam.

    He has a premiership medal for being the sub in the GF.

    He may not have got on the ground but it could have been far worse (see, eg, McStay, Adams and Noble this year, or Rich and Gardiner/Payne for Brisbane).

    I agree. It's not like we've got fantastic midfield depth. He was constantly sub this year, which would make it difficult to get consistency of performance. And yet most on here expected JJ to come into a final and perform at a high level.

    Like Bedford, I can see JJ performing well at a new club.

    If he doesn’t go on big coin there’s every chance we don’t get anything.

    Only 22 so has plenty of upside just needs to be played on the ball more that’s always where he looks best. Not sure the swans will be any easier to break into than dees. Might have been better off going to a weaker team like wc or north where he could cement a spot

    Unfortunately for JJ, he was stuck in and couldn’t work his way out of the bottom 6 players getting chosen, the ones we need to improve upon to go deeper in finals. He has virtually no weapons in his repertoire and is a meat and potatoes footballer (not a bad thing, just not what we need).

    Good luck to him 👍

    Given he’s a free agent, we only get a pick if the AFL gives it to us, and one of the key considerations appears to be the terms of the new contract. So if he’s not on big bucks in the new deal at Sydney, we may not get any compensation, bearing in mind he was clearly a fringe player for us.

    Fascinating.  Has the AFL never not given compensation for a required player?

    Had many many chances, but failed to nail a regular spot. 
    his last game was very disappointing

    Solid citizen. Wish him nothing but the best.

    He's a best 25 player for us and got squeezed out. It happens. I would be surprised if he goes to another level at Sydney but will be delighted for him if he does.

    I don't see any difference between McStay or Jordon's situation. Neither played in a GF. One just got a medal for some bizarre reason

    there was interest from several clubs so you'd imagine he'll get a 3-4 year deal on >400K

    any idea what comp that would result in?

    If he is leaving for more midfield minutes I am not sure the Swans are the best choice

    Mills, Warner, Gulden, Parker (still only 30), Heeney

    Can cover Mills while he's out with his mad Monday shoulder, then might find himself warming the pine again.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
