Post subject: The inspiring journey of JDGReply with quote

Having AFL live app like many other,s I browse and read lots of news etc etc

But today took my inspiration level to a new height after reading Jordan’s 2018 journey from his indiscretion to the now Grand Final week—-it makes a wonderful read IMHO

With the leader group challenging him to look at himself and to show he could be relyed on before being considered a team player

He imposed an alcohol ban which was his early undoing and according to reports has not wavered from his self made promises

And well after his “community “ work as part of club,s reprimand he continue,s to deliver food that Salvation Army help the needy

First to attend hospital,s as club ambassador or leads groups thru Holsed Centre on tours

We are hell bent to win the prize and with attitude like this young man and many more around him —win or loose the attitude displayed by this young man and the other young champions we can walk tall and hold our heads high

The article is worth a look

I reckon post game we are going to hear about the severity of his injury and how carefully we managed it ala Dids' torn pec in 2010.

The bone injury, I assume you mean. Well, they should have acted earlier (i.e. sooner after the Carlton game), but the situation seems passable for one last game.

Naturally gifted and talented, he was always going to be a star if he pulled his finger out. Got a rocket from his leaders and peers and has responded. I'm not sure about "inspiring"?

Well for what it’s worth I found it inspirational but that’s me
Every one assessment is different but there’s no doubt in my
mind that there is an inspirational or what ever terminology
that suit,s atmosphere at our great club❤️

He does seem very happy. Did anyone notice last year whether he seemed this jolly back then?

Fair play to him. He's taken great strides to turn his life around. Here's hoping he kicks a bag of goals on the weekend and helps us to glory.

Stoked for Jordy that he's been able to turn it around and win back trust from his teammates.

Had serious doubts about the direction he was taking earlier this year, but to see him blossom into an imposing forward target has been fantastic to watch.

Jordan has had a good look at himself and made the right choice and there have been like wise stories
One being Brayden Sier who also to a good hard look and also chose wisely

The term “the domino effect “ has been used and Bear has done a good job
sending Jordie goalwards to reek havoc
