Farewell James Jordon

[Mach5 4,767]

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.

[Ollie fan 3,370]

No surprise there.

[Demonland 71,868]

Fair enough. Rightly or wrongly we couldn't offer him game time. He would be a walk up start in most teams. Sorry to see him go.

[adonski 12,036]

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

Reckon that's his best spot

[McQueen 17,864]

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….. 😬

[MadAsHell 4,212]

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

[Demons11 6,989]

Geeze we are going to have some turnover this year.  Casey are going to struggle next year

Good servant and wish him well.

[BDA 22,737]

a very solid citizen and contributor. best of luck to him. Saints would be a good fit i reckon

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. 

[beelzebub 23,320]

Good luck Jimmy

[whatwhat say what 22,731]

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

[Bonkers 994]

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.

[The heart beats true 18,123]

Onya JJ. I hope you light up the place wherever you go.

[Little Goffy 14,513]

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.

[Great Northern Summer 708]

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 

[Colm 2,150]

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. 

[Adam The God 30,209]

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