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: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
