AGA Apprenticeships Plus Rising Star – Round 16

Jordan Defilippis (Burnside Heights)


JORDAN began his career with the Bears in 2013 in their first Under 14 side and quickly went on gain admirers with his work ethic and determination.

In his first few years with the club Jordan won a best & fairest and also represented the club at interleague level.

This season with the club having no Under 19.5s, Jordan remained with the Bears and forged his way into the senior line-up and has held his own.

Playing as a small forward, ‘Meatball’, as he is affectionately known, shows great tenacity around the ball and is always leading the way with his tackling pressure.

We look forward to Jordan being part of the Bears line-up for many years to come.

*Nominations have now closed for the AGA Apprenticeships Plus Rising Star for Season 2017.
