The Importance of Jordan Lewis

Featured Replies

One of the worst 34 possession games I have seen.

Didn't like him berating a few teammates when his decision-making and positioning was questionable.  His kick in-board to Hogan was puzzling.  His shepherd for McDonald on Preust was great.

 

Watts had a shocker, but I prefer him to play the easiest gig in town (plus one in D50); especially when he aint firing a shot up forward.  At least he can compete in the air.

 

 

Talking about the "+1".  Why was Jetta loose in defence in the last 2 minutes when we needed to go all out attack.

 

 

 

Lewis should not have been our lose, it should have been tmac. Poor coaching by Goodwin. Jetta competed against talks when tmac would have been more suited.

Definitley got some match ups wrong. Especially in the backline. I didnt like our tactics today. Very poor I thought. I dont even think Brad Scott was trying to win. I think he was shocked they win.

Jordan Lewis kick cost us the game and Hogan. [censored] house decision and kick Jordan! Pits!

Lewis has been a great pickup. Great game on the weekend too. Was never brought in to be our best player, but hes a wise hand and makes a valuable contribution on and off the field.

And if yesterday showed anything its that we are practically bereft of leadership at times. Can't have enough experienced players.

He got " clean bowled" which is not a good sign .

His hands are terrible- the rest of his game is faultless.

Hes one of the most decorated fumblers I've ever seen so maybe he has been for years.

Yep, berated OMac and Frost on different occasions, kicked a shocker to Hogan which ended up breaking his collar bone, and then didn't put his body on the line for that last passage of play. Tmac or Watts would've been better as a loose man. 

 

There was a moment where he went to ground in defence when they kicked a goal, where I couldn't work out whether he was tripped or if he accidentally showed that he deliberately goes to ground when the ball has gone past and he's been beaten. I'll give him the benefit of the doubt this time.

He's not infallible! Geez, reading some of the comments in this thread you'd think he was Lucas Cook.

The simple fact is this: we're yet to win a single game without Lewis in the side, which makes his win loss ratio pretty enviable compared to other teammates. Something to think about.

Yep when Lewis is left one out in the backline, he can't do it all. That happens too much

We're a fickle bunch.

Was only a few weeks ago when Jordan milked the 30 shot clock from ANB against the Blues and we all thought the sun shone out his arse.

Personally, I think he'll be playing at Casey at some stage next year as our youngsters blossom further - due in part to some of his guidance.

Every week its the same, gotta blame someone, this weeks its Lewis to some shallow 'supporters'

Wasn't his best, but he wasn't on his Pat Malone. About 15 others could say the same. We just never switched on as a team.

Like our mids made life easy for him? Thought Lewis was clever at crucial times when outmanned. 

Huge pick up for club, on & off field.


Lewis is cooked IMO. He makes too many skill errors for a player of his pace. And his ability to pick up the ground ball is just about the worst in the AFL.

Though he's not what he was a few years ago at the Hawks, I still think he's had a good patch of form leading up to finals. He's hitting his straps at the right end of the year. His leadership and direction out on field have been great. 

His main weakness at this point seems to be getting down and taking ground balls cleanly. Thing is, if he isn't able to take it cleanly and there is pressure, he positions himself in a way that he earns a free kick, gains us possession of the ball and releases the pressure. It's smart, and some of our other mids need to learn this instead of panicking and just knocking it to an opposition player in fear they will get caught and pinged with a free kick.

His poor ground ball work has definitely been more obvious under the pressure of operating in the D50 - something he probably didn't do too much of it in his Hawthorn days.

well and truly cooked IMO. Going on 'well done' with another couple of years to run on his contract. I'd move him into a coaching role at the end of the year.

For someone who had such good skills his skills are terrible.

He also panics when under pressure horribly.

I'd put him on a half forward flank.

We already have Watts playing that role (the panicking that is. )

And soft 

 

I think Lewis's form has generally been trending upwards over the past month (from a fairly low base), but his biggest shortcoming in his refusal to take the hit occasionally. Instead he'll fire out a hospital handball or short pass and let one of his teammates get clobbered (Hogan being just one of many examples). I shudder to think what he and Vince could concoct together over the next month.

His skills are overrated. I have always thought Lewis is more of an accumulator. Not a very effective player though. But I tell you what, he was tough at Hawthorn, I give him that much, he was actually a tough guy, he went in hard, and he was a ballsy player. At Melbourne he is not very tough. He is more of a squib. Anytime that ball hits the deck he doesn't want it, he panics and he fumbles. I think he has mentally checked out.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
