The Importance of Jordan Lewis

He could end up being a coach with his success and credentials

Would make a good playing coach in his third year even if he does get dropped/managed.

    I don't know why there is an issue with the 3 year deal. if he gets to the point where he is not earning regular senior selection i suspect he will retire and they will negotiate a reasonable pay out. With a bit of luck they might be able to keep him involved in the club as they have done so brilliantly with Crossy. 

    Well spoken. Non issue.

    I feel like people are judging him on one bad performance. He is a very proud man, look out for him this weekend because I would expect him to set himself for a big one.

    Further to this, I think a benchmark for Lewis is Daniel Cross, who played two great years for us, averaging 22 possessions and over 4 tackles. He cost us a similar amount to Lewis in draft picks, but much less salary cap space and years. While Lewis is a more damaging kick than Cross, he looks to be showing his age much more, with poor defensive efforts and trouble bending over once the ball hits the deck.

    Post of the thread.

     

    I thought Cross had something left, when Roosy showed him the door.  Cross kept his on-field value to the end.  He was a role-model in most aspects.  Slowish, but didn't really lose what he had.  More importantly, rarely lost his feet.  Lewis on the other hand, has pedal dementia.

     

    Lewis won't limp to the line.  My view was that he limped into the 3 year deal.  I am not talking about the third year, when year one has been a big enough issue for me.

    Worth every cent. He's not playing the midfield minutes anymore and is in a new role so can't expect him to rack up 30 plus and a sausage roll a game.

    I like the fact he's floating back in the backline backing up players and I'm sure the kids have some confidence knowing he's behind the pill.

    Was very good against the Saints and Bombers, games in years by we wouldn't have held on to.

    He also nearly got us over the line against Hawks.

    A player like Lewis won't put two bad performances together. Knew he was poor last week, was good this week.

    My advice to you lot is that you don't judge players in 10 goal wins.

     

    Otherwise, Josh Caddy, Luke Bruest, Mitch Duncan and to a lesser extent Jack Gunston, are worthy of back-to-back All Australian status.

    FWIW, I back the tigs to miss the 8 a month or 2 ago.  I would show you the crownbet slip, but your teacher would frown on it, and I shouldn't talk to little boys.

    This was so crystal clear he would have a cracker youd have to have been a little slow (like those that called for him to be dropped last week.....), blind or know nothing about football to think otherwise. was great to see the support for him this morning and even better to see some d's supporters eating humble pie post his awesome efforts today. He's huge for us as an expiericend leader to a team of young guns. Love the man and this club.

    He's just a champion player. This isn't a portent of things to come, simply a reminder of what he has been for decade.

    Again, he doesn't look like is going to fade away without a fight...

    Speaking of primary school behaviour like never admitting when one is wrong? Remember Terry Wallace TGR? Your self professed demigod. Greatest coach ever? U r a sad individual. Clearly no joy again from another immense victory. Rubbing up too many young ones on the physio table methinks. Consumate darts player. Eventually you'll score a bull's-eye,maybe.Way off the mark here pal.

    You made a stupid comment last week and Lewis has done a hell of a lot more than any of those blokes you mentioned, 4 flags to start, B&F in flag year

    Finally. Yes,it can be easier to play well in a team that wins by ten goals. Having said that, Lewis was awesome in the first half when the game was on the line.  Instrumental in setting up the victory. Haters will be circling like vultures when he has a bad one. Guess what, not all his Hawthorn games were magnificent. If we make finals watch out for Jordan!

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?
