Farewell James Jordon

Disappointing to see James Jordon leave.

But I totally understand his situation. He wants to play more midfielder minutes for an AFL Club.

Greatful of all he did as a Demon and as a substitute who unfortunately never got onto the ground in the Grand Final for the 2021 AFL Premiership. That was a shame. But at least he received a Premiership Medallion!

Definitely a handy player for us!

I wish "JJ" all the best for the future (except against the Demons) at his new home over at the Swans.

    I hope no melbourne supporter boos him next year. JJ has been a good player for us and dueto our elite midfield it was always  going to be hard for him to grab a spot. 

    So I hope he gets his opportunity at sydney and goes well for them.

    Best of luck JJ. You'll always be a demon with that premiership medal.

    Struggle to see how he fits into Sydney's midfield though. Feel he will still be a fringe player there.

    Just an old man’s quirk, but I’ve always had a soft spot for Demons number 23. 
     

    Some of my favorites -  players who had a bit of X factor or were fan favorites in their day:

    Geoff Tunbridge

    Kelly O’Donnell

    James McDonald

    Kevin Dyson

     

    and of course Clarko when he was with us. 

    James Jordon certainly fits the enigma of number 23. Will be the only player ever in V/AFL to win a premiership without setting foot on the ground in the Grand Final.

    At least Peter McLean 1964 and Cameron Mooney in 1999.

    Are Sydney getting another 80% extra with COLA? Rumoured to be splashing cash and have a star studded team. Understand Bud left, but wow

    Great club man and servant.

    Never met him but gave the impression he was a very humble, hard working chap.

    Unlucky not to get on the park in the GF but then again so was chunk.

    Good luck at the Swans and hope he gets to play a few finals (preferably not against us).

    29 disps (23 kicks 6 hballs), 8 marks and a goal in Rd 13 26-pt loss to Collingwood at the MCG (13 Jun 2022)

    Couldnt do it every week but was a great game 

    Its a shame but he was a momentum killer with us Swans may use him differently

    It looks like he is joining an even longer queue for a midfield starting role at Sydney than if he stayed at Melbourne.

    Agreed, he shouldn’t get booed. Can’t blame the guy for seeking better opportunities.

    And given some MFC supporters were actively cheering on Luke Jackson in our loss to Fremantle last year, I don’t think there’ll be any booing issues for JJ.

    Yes right now JJ was only depth, but in a few years he may not have been.  I'm beginning to think that we need to do more to keep players in his age demographic to sustain the team in the years we will be comming to soon when the Viney, Tracs and Brayshaw, Langdon, Hunter etc cohort start to fall away.  Similarly players like Bedford.  And great teams need good depth.

    I partially understand Jordan's reason to move, but when he's going to a club where the midfield will be similarly strong to ours, that becomes a little less understandable.

    I'd actually be inclined to boo him and Bedford in the future.

    They saved $12m missing out on Naughton.

    I will watch Jimmy the kid Jordon have 28 touches a game in his sleep in the well oiled machine that is the Sydney Swom then flick over to watch Sparrow's 14 touches and six fumbles a week thinking what could have been

    ...and you are, of course, staking your reputation on this prediction, Adonski

    It wouldn't surprise to find that JJ ends up in the same position he was in at the Dees but paying 10-20% more per month on his digs for the privilege.

    He's not going to be that great of a loss nor can I see him being in their best 22.

    They've got some good talent coming through their midfield and I don't know where he fits amongst all that.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
