WELCOME TO THE MELBOURNE FOOTBALL CLUB - JORDAN LEWIS

Featured Replies

5 time premiership player Jordan Lewis ...

 

Out: 48 and 66
In: Lewis,  57 and either 68 or 70

Seems reasonable to me.

We've still got plenty of delistings to come and have to give Jason Taylor something to work with. Can't lose 48 outright and not have a 2nd pick in the draft until the mid 60's when we need to get at least 3 or 4 kids in.

Lucky pick 57.

Was that the pick we've used on T and O McDonald? or was that 53?

I'd be very comfortable with that.

53

I'm looking forward to Lewis clotheslining O'Meara at some stage next year, you know it's going to happen.

Hunt 57.

Another one like that would be handy! he's a bloody good young player


I thought that Muslim martyrs were rewarded with 57 virgins. But apparently it's better than that: 72 in fact!!

Heinz used to have 57 varieties. I know they made tomato sauce, and various soups, but I suspect that 57 may have been gilding the lilly

Pretty hard to do when O'Meara's sitting in the stands. ;)

Kid's a jet cruelled by injury.

I hope he gets back on the park but plays shitty games every time they play us.

sorry not reading every page of this thread. Who are you talking about?

This is a big picture move, we have two areas we need to improve that are far more important than pace at this stage of our development (given we have some quick outside  runners already )

we lack leadership and experience, this could go a long way to helping us beat teams like Carlton and Essendon when we're not switched on right away and take us from 10 wins to 14-15 and 10th to 5th sort of thing.

Also important is the "landing a big fish"/"destination club" factor. 

Hopefully this leads to more stars wanting to come in the future.

So where does he actually fit into the 22?

Take the team below for argument's sake:

B: Frost  O Mac  Jetta
HB: Hibberd  TMac  Hunt 
C: Salem  Jones  Stretch
HF: Petracca  Hogan  Watts
F: Garlett  Pedo/Weed  Kent
R: Gawn  Tyson  Viney
I: Oliver  Brayshaw  Vince  Melksham

Who goes out? Melksham's name sticks out but he's just been brought in, and it isn't to play at Casey. The rest are either mainstays or young players for whom games at senior level is now very important.

I'm in favour of getting him on the cheap as we lack leadership and experience but I'm interested in logistics of where he slots in with his attributes. Granted there will always be injuries but we had a decent injury run with our midfielders last season.

He plays before Kent, Melksham, Garlett and Stretch

Don't forget that if he does join us, he will no longer be a beneficiary the (wink, nod, nudge) Hawthorn MRP / tribunal immunity pact ?

Of those only Melksham would play in a similar role, Kent and Garlett are small forwards, while Stretch is on the wings. From the team P-Man put up, which I think will be close to our best 22, I'd say Lewis comes in and there'll be a fit for the last spot between Melksham, Oliver, Brayshaw and Salem. potentially by the end of the year Vince might be in that group as well. Good problem to have really, all those guys are very good players and will only get better. My only fear is that we'll lose a decent player in the next trade period because there not getting enough opportunities.

Only if we begin winning games and are viewed as a successful club playing finals.

 
LEWIS MOVEMENT?
 
Melbourne officials have been spotted at AFL House.
 
That would suggest the Jordan Lewis deal might be about to be signed off. 
 
We'll keep you posted...

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

    The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
