| Definitely a bargain for us. It’s criminal that he would only be on 100k more than a 35 year old, injury prone old man. |

I think this is a fair deal and people calling it a huge bargain are getting a bit ahead of themselves. Maybe, it will be, Jordan certainly has the potential to make it so, but right now it isn't.
Right now, Jordan is an above average player whose form fluctuates significantly from week to week. Some weeks, like this one, he's a world beater. Other weeks, like the previous two, he's well below average. The overall package works out to roughly above average.
He's also only played one full season (20+ games) out of four which is a bit of an issue itself.
I also hope from now on that he's a midfielder who goes forward rather than a full time forward. I think people got carried away by his bag against the Saints where he got on the end of a few cheapies. He needs to improve his overhead marking to become a forward. He gets his hands to the ball, but drops them too often.

I said he’d be around the 6-7k mark.
He’s got talent, I think he will own the comp in the next couple of years if he keeps his head on but for now I would think that’s a fair price for him.

| Melbourne made the classic mistake that coaches do of focussing on current form of opposition players and creating negating roles to negate the opposition strengths. Phillips is not the guy to tag because he plays away from the middle. All that did was open the game up for guys like De Goey and Stephenson. De Goey will have good days and bad days. We should keep the opposition guessing. Play him forward or back depending on the situation. In that regard he is like Dusty Martin but at this point in his career he doesn't have the consistency of Dusty. |

| Eade said JdG is a worse kick than Dusty. I hope that's not true; Dusty's a terrible kick. JdG's first few I50's were good passes, but as the game progressed his kicking precision did get a lot worse. |

Jordan’s bad kicks inside 50 were because he was running flat out. He’ll learn how to steady.

| Some of his kicks seemed to be dropping short. Even one of his 'good' I50s in that stellar first 15 minutes required his teammate to dive down and forward. |

Better than the ubiquitous over the head of the leading forward. How many times in recent years have we seen Cloke, Reid, Elliot get crueled because of poor delivery, typically landing on their heads or going over them.

I thought that pass was just about perfect.....low and bullet like. |

Worth a million a year I reckon.
22 years old and can kick goals and bust the midfield wide open.
We know he has not done much until this year.
But boy you could build a side around him and that is why he is worth squillions! |

old people have earned the right to be over paid.

Dusty is 5 years older, At the same age Dusty was getting more of the ball as he was already a starting midfielder due to Richmond's weak midfield but otherwise they compare quite well.
If De Goey can move toward spending 70/30 midfield/forward, we should start to see some consistency.

this is not true. we dont even know for sure that De Goey can beat a tag!!!! When De Goey can bring it EVERY single week like Sidey and Pendles, no matter the attention he gets, then he's worth a million. 600k for a budding star is pretty good. He can get his millions when he is consistently a star.

now i know that $600k is only a couple of months work for most if us, but its a lot of money for a 22 yo.
