Was it him? I think so. I'm going to guess the answer to your question is probably "no." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 He's either in the wrong thread, or he's having a dig at the signing of a defender. I'm guessing that it's the latter... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like not a bad signing in fairness Don't want to be cynical, but we've signed a 23-y-o defender from an NPL club. It's good for him (and welcome back Jordy Hall), and I'm sure that the club knows what it's doing, but I don't think it's a signing to write home about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect our first two picks for central defence will typically be permed from those three, with Hall mostly warming the bench, and getting a first eleven call up only rarely. Of course, don't rule out that he's a gem and will play his way into contention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd say he's the interim player between Stokes + Mills who weren't able to be as effective as we probably would have liked when promoted to the first team.

Jovan Posted August 26, 2021 Report Share Posted August 26, 2021 I've never seen the bloke play, but if he plays substantial minutes we would be in deep trouble. Welcome aboard all the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He probably is ahead of Mills and Stoke, but my point is more about who he is replacing. If we loseany 2 of Nuno Good and Griffiths then we are going to be in the shit. Now I'm not saying Hall is rubbish but based on where he was playing last season and what level Nuno Griffiths and Good play at then to me it's pretty much logical. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jw1739 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 It's a bit of a puzzle really. And we've signed him for two seasons. We must be confident that he can do whatever we expect from him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jw1739 Posted August 27, 2021 Report Share Posted August 27, 2021 If you read the club release it seems as though we're expecting him to hold his own in the A-League. "A product of City’s Academy, the 23-year-old is an athletic ball-playing central defender who has spent the last two seasons at NPL club Green Gully. Melbourne City FC Director of Football Michael Petrillo said: “Jordon is a player who came through the City Academy and after two excellent seasons in the NPL with Green Gully, we feel is ready to take the next step at A-League level. “He’s good on the ball, defends well, is mobile and suits the City style of play perfectly. We welcome Jordon back to the Club and look forward to him continuing to develop and reach his undoubted potential."

Tommykins Posted March 23, 2022 Report Share Posted March 23, 2022 Nice starting debut last night - looks a very capable back up at this stage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellydrum Posted March 24, 2022 Report Share Posted March 24, 2022 He'll surely start on Saturday with Nuno still isolating. Hopefully he can build some form going into ACL. We'll need more than Good and Nuno, and Griffiths is still injured. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
