Welcome to Essendon - Dan Jordan

This discussion was created from comments split from: Chris Judd to Essendon?.

Essendon Football Club is pleased to announce Dan Jordan has been appointed as a Development Coach for the 2016 season.

Jordan’s appointment completes the Club’s Development Coaching panel for the upcoming season, and will see him work alongside Matthew Egan, Paul Corrigan and Mark Corrigan.

Head of Player Development, Matthew Egan, said Jordan brings a great football knowledge and strong work ethic to the Bombers.

“Dan emerged as the standout candidate during the selection process and we believe his experience will have a great impact on the future of our Club,” Egan said.

“Dan’s appointment further strengthens our experienced Development Coaching team, and we’re really looking forward to providing our talented young playing list with a professional environment that will prepare them for the rigours required to play at the elite level.”

Jordan has been a member of the Club’s VFL coaching team for the past two seasons as a forward coach in 2014 and defensive coach in 2015.

The 34 year-old said he looks forward to furthering his coaching career at Essendon.

“I’m excited to be joining Essendon as a Development Coach in 2016,” Jordan said.

“Having previously worked with Matt, Paul and Mark during my time with the VFL team, I think we are in a great position to help lead this club through what will be an incredibly exciting year in 2016 and beyond.”

Dan will officially commence his role with the Club on January 6.

Aker will be seething over that selection

Dan’s been involved with our VFL team for a little while now and was important in helping that group develop last year where he worked closely with Skip and the Corrigan boys. Terrific appointment to round out that development group really well.

Great appointment.
Very few supporters know him so any preconceived perceptions (good or bad) are minimised.
Less outrage.

In his last playing year (2013) he was named Ballarat Football League coach of the year, was awarded BFL mark of the year, won the Tony Lockett Medal as the BFL’s leading goalkicker and was voted The Courier BFL player of the year.

I’m pretty sure I umpired Dan Jordan - I’d have to check, but, I think he’s a Bernards boy.

I caught a glimmer of sarcastica, but thought I would mention that he has coached a country football team (East Point in the Ballarat Football League).
