What they said:

Head of Development John Blakey

“The positive about Jordan is you always know what you’re going to get from him. He’s a very accomplished player in the NEAFL and rarely plays a poor game there – and that’s why he’s always knocking on the door of senior selection. He keeps a very high standard, he’s an ultimate pro in the way he trains and prepares himself for games.”
