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.

    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.

    • GAMEDAY: Western Bulldogs

      It's Game Day and the Demons will be running out on the field with a new Head Coach, albeit a caretaker, for the first time in 3,060 days when they face the Western Bulldogs at the MCG today. What do you want to see from the Demons in the first match of the Post Simon Goodwin era?

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?
