Have a look at his first marking effort on the southern stand wing.  Not setting physical examples despite the 'leadership' mantra.

His kickout in the 3rd should have cost us a goal too.

 

 

Even when Geelong were coming in parts of the last, he gave Kelly a bit too much room.

 

 

We were a 13 goal better side tonight.  Their entries were small, slow and indirect.  You can applaud him on tonight.  A good footy mind wouldn't.

 

Won’t lie...as good as his second half was some of his efforts in the first half were questionable at best. Refused to put his body on the line.

    Then I don't have a good footy mind. I didn't put him in my votes...but I thought about it. Yes, he made a few mistakes but he was more creative than I've ever seen him play before with his tap ons, punches as well as the more regular kicks and handballs.

    What game were you watching?

    He made countless defensive contests and managed to halve or better most of them

    His best contribution to the mfc so far!

    I thought he was fantastic and it is laughable the rigidity to which a certain poster sticks to his view - will actively allay and obsfucate any reality that doesn’t back his preconceived contrarianisms. Been doing for as long as the Internet has been up and running...

    Footy minds know better ?

    The game you were clearly not. I didn’t say he played badly, I said he refused to put his body on the line in the first half.

    Best contribution to the MFC so far? Give me a spell.

    BUT let’s not get into an argument...this is a good night!

    I'm amongst his harshest critics. Still will be.

    But he's certainly deserved his spot in the side the last 6 weeks or so.

    Dropping his head under a high ball tonight was bad. As were a couple of tackling efforts, but by in large he did enough to break even in contests. Some better tap ons and things like that. Not as many panicked kicks or handballs. Helped control the tempo pretty well.

    Wasn't happy that he couldn't call a mid or defender in to Hawkins' space at times but credit the Cats there as well.

    He's more than holding his spot which is far better than when I thought he was actively harming our chances. A big test coming against the Hawks though because they'll try to drag him deep repeatedly and they'll big right in to him if he takes a backwards step. They know his weaknesses.

    Another brilliant display from Lewy. So important for how we set up and use the footy. I don't remember him being beaten 1v1 at all tonight either.

    I think his last month has been first class. Possibly his best month at Melbourne.

    Some people like to big-note themselves. Go Lewis, Go Dees!

    Lewis was very good last night. Won the 1v1s and controlled space. Outmarked only twice all night.  Two fumbles but most did on occasion.  One turnover but overall effective disposal.  Keep our minds focussed. Excellent pickup still imo.

    Gee, how good was Jordy last night? Just a general down back. Took important marks and went back with the flight when it was his turn.

    Played a good solid final

    hopefully does the same next week. 

    Better than solid in my opinion SWYL.  From where I was sitting he appeared to expertly plug countless gaps, took some critical strong marks and generally marshalled the backline superbly

    I had him in best 8, possibly best 6 in what was a superb team performance.

    We are so lucky Alistair sent him our way. 

    Those that persisted in extremely negative posts on Lewis & Frost either have to apologise, change their identity to keep posting or just shut up.

    That he did. I wasn’t knocking him at all, unlike others in this thread

    Will be great to see him play against his old mates. It will be on!!

    Not the first time I have pointed this out but he is doing his best to do what we thought Lever was going to do. You can’t replace your best players but when you are as good as Jordan Lewis you find ways to make it work. Great investment.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
