ON THE eve of the AFL national draft, Echuca’s Jordan Williams was doing what he has done a lot of the past few years - kicking the footy around.
Williams was sweating it out at the Echuca Bombers start to their pre-season campaign.

By tonight the Bendigo Pioneers and Echuca on-baller may be bound for the big league when the AFL national draft is held from 6.30pm.

Work ethic has played a big part in Williams’ ascent to being a key player for the Pioneers, and also for NSW-ACT at the past two national under-18 championships.

He also excelled in the sprints at the national draft camp run at the Australian Institute of Sport.

Round 24, 2011 Season

Jordan named as emergency for the Hawks final home and away game for season 2011 played at the Gold Coast against the Suns on Saturday 3 September 2011.

About the only time Jordan has come up on the radar for Hawk fans.

Williams played with the losing Box Hill seniors in their elimination final against Werribee @ Werribee.

Re: 40 Jordan Williams

He's on the Senior List Rusty!!
Pretty quiet year but picked up the last month. Time will tell who is going to be delisted. I think only about 8 players out of contract so they would all be feeling the heat!

Jordan Williams Review

Number: 40
Height: 185cm
Weight: 80kgs
DOB: 6 May 1991
Recruited: Bendigo Pioneers TAC

Jordan was selected at pick 57 in the 2009 AFL Draft. He was known for his hard work, hard running and a very precise left foot kick. According to an AFL website review he averaged 9 contested possessions for NSW/ACT U18 Championships. At Draft Camp he showed good speed and endurance with 2.98secs for 20m and a 14.4 beep test.

I found it difficult to do a review on Jordan. I had seen Jordan play at both TAC and the U18 National Carnival. He definitely had speed and endurance backed up by his draft camp results. When he arrived at the club he was on par with Liam Shiels as having the best endurance in all the trials etc of all players and then this year taken over by the “freak” speed and endurance of Isaac Smith and endurance of Menegola.

He commenced 2010 in the Development Squad and I know he had at least 3 x 40+ possession games in a row before he was elevated to the Senior BHH. He shared his time between the seniors and reserves, playing seven and 12 games respectively. He was part of the Development Squad Premiership Grand Final team.

Jordan showed further promise this year kicking a couple of goals in the West during the NAB Cup and then followed up with a solid performance at Shepparton against Richmond.

I watched quite a lot of Jordan’s games this year and am at a loss to his lack of impact on many games. About round 5 he was dropped to the dev squad where he stayed for I think about 4 games. I certainly don’t thing he was as bad as was the general consensus by Big Footy followers however he wasn’t listed in the Seniors best until his last game of the season in the BHH Senior Elimination Final.

Throughout the season Jordan showed glimpses – glimpses of speed, glimpses of hard ball gets, glimpses of great run downs and tackles, glimpses of clever delivery. I don’t know where those 40 plus possession games went.

Jordan is a quiet kid who worked hard and really applied himself at the club but again I think it is the mental strength that is more important than anything to develop in this brutal environment and succeed at AFL level.

Good luck Jordan with your future endeavours.

Good to see that Jordan has been named in the VFL squad to play Tassie.
He has been playing well for Bendigo Gold(Essendon) across the midfield and across half back with Ladson. Wish him well....thought he was hard done by to be delisted and then to keep Bruce, Bateman.

showed nothing at 2 years with us

 

[go hawks!!!]

How many box hill games did you see him play?

 

[randall boner]

enough to know he wasnt up to it ,and him not being redrafted seems to varify that opinion.

I am delighted to see Jordan developing his career in Bendigo and being named in the VFL squad. I hope he does well and gets another AFL opportunity. If he is good enough, he will.

Anyone know for sure what happened to him? Generally fresh players get more than two seasons, and he wasn't half bad I thought.

Jordan played for Bendigo Gold last season (with Rick Ladson),trained with Essendon VFL up till Xmas(was actually interviewed by Essendon before the draft). He is playing with his home club Echuca in the Goulburn Valley this season. Was BOG in Rd 1 against Rochester with 30+ possessions. I know the family well...he is at uni in Melb. and still retains a lot of friends at Hawthorn.
