Think of him as a James McDonald type more then anything. Coaches love him, will do a discipline job when asked, and will go out and give 110%. Has worked incredibly hard to get to AFL level due to a few rejections at TAC cup level. Knowing his parents well in Daryl and Prue Jordon, they will be extremely proud this Saturday. On ya Jimmy.

Huh?

My little brother grew up with him in Yarra.. Jimmy is already teeing up tickets for him and the lads down this way.

We'll lose Jones, Jetta, Hibberd, Mitch Brown and Vandenberg at the end of the year due to retirement or delisting. These guys are pretty 31 years plus. It's not as telling that number will significantly drop at the end of the year.

A good read on a few of our youngster's. https://footyology.com.au/generation-next-2021-your-clubs-bolters-melbourne/

That's all the tweets they've uploaded so far. Did mention towards the end that they don't expect to see Ben Brown play some sort of footy until about round 7. James Jordon also most likely to debut this weekend.

Melksham won't play. He hasn't even any match simulated games at VFL level. Hibberd only played 3 quarters in the VFL. I suspect he'll need a full game in the VFL first before he is considered. Not sure why you've put May, Oliver and Salem when they've all done a full pre season and played AFL games. Hardly underdone..

Jealous of all of you going to the game. I can't attend even though I'm down in Melbourne for the weekend... ? Please be extra loud Dee supporters!!

Huge raps on Weideman and Pickett.

If you want more Choco go to the 18:25 mark and hear choco chat with Ox and Marko https://omny.fm/shows/3aw-is-football/twilight-zone-with-ox-marko-13-3-2021 Hearing him in this interview makes you want to run through a brick for this guy. Serious impressive.

Melksham, Salem, Viney all training in footy boots.. That's a sign that they are close to playing.

Looking at these photos no one can question whether Pickett trained in his time away. Looks really trimmed and fit. AFL 2021 Training Melbourne

There will be a big list overhaul come season end. Jones, Jetta, Hibberd, Mitch Brown, Vandenberg are already on my retired list. That's 5 already gone, not even counting the delisted players as well. I was surprised we weren't as ruthless as I thought we should have at last year's trade period. Is it blind faith? Who knows. But going into 2022 with this list raises a fee too many concerns for my liking.

Doubt it

I'm certainly not pointing the finger at Ben. I appreciate his work last year during the covid period and thinks we as a supporter base are lucky to have him. He won me right over with his interview with Josh Mahoneh when he went hard at him. I will also say that he needs to ditch the Gus and Gawny podcast. It's evident to the eye that he gets bullied from both boys with Gus being the most vocal around this. It's actually a disgrace to watch considering Gus has has already experienced mental health dating spud Frawleys daughter. Both Max and Gus need to pull their heads in big time. I'm not in the camp that's it's all just up to Ben. In a big organization that requires a lot of media attention Ben cannot simply be the one that's been left in this department. Wasn't there another young blond girl that was involved last year as well during covid?

All fair and good points mate. I just personally wish the club had actually advertised something on the MFC website as well. Not everyone has a twitter account. Their is a disconnection right now between the footy club and supporters. Our on field right now is poor, at least get the off field stuff right.

Ok

Yeah I know that Pickett, but Spargo wasn't playing the Caleb Daniel role as it was suggested.

It wasn't Spargo's role at all. Spargo was playing the half forward role against the doggies. Daniel was half back.
