According to Twomey, Jordon was understood to be deciding between the Swans, the Western Bulldogs, Essendon, St Kilda, and Carlton, who had all been linked to the Melbourne utility at different stages.
After losing Jordon, though, the Demons still figure to have plenty of off-season dealings to navigate, with the likes of ruckman Brodie Grundy and midfielder James Harmes likely to seek new ventures, while, on the other hand, Melbourne is expected to land wantaway Crow Shane McAdam via trade.
