Wow. Some of the comments on here are a disgrace. 

Can you just for one minute imagine plaing AFL football with a broken hand on a wet day when legs and arms and wet footy’s are being kicked around. 

Good on ya Jordan. Get yourself better as soon as you can

A broken hand ?

I think this is a disaster for coming games against Tigers and Dons. First three guys I would pick each week in our brittle team are Jones Lewis and Vince and the rest are just deck chairs to be shuffled as we try not to sink...again

Also with a chance he and Tom coming back vs Essendon, they will be two very handy inclusions on a 5 day break.

How about a little empathy for one of our Guy's playing under difficult circumstances, never showed that he was hurt. I did comment to my daughter during the game that he looked like he had a jab in the ankle as he looked like he was kicking with a "dead" foot.

take a few weeks off Jordan and get it right.

We never want any player to be injured playing for the Dees. 

It is in poor taste to take a cheap shot at Jordie today.

Yep certainly some vitriol being spewed in here. He had a poor game, but a broken hand explains why. He's a tough guy Jordy! Good on him for seeing the game out, must've been hard in those conditions and being part of such a disaster to keep pushing himself. He can heal up for a few weeks now and hopefully return fresh and primed to have an impact.

Go back and take a look at the posters who took some sort of delight in his injury. It will tell you all you need to know. Anyone who is happy to see one of our players injured isn't a true supporter of this club.

I thought of that but didn't want to over-egg the pudding. But you are welcome to make your own joke about people throwing remotes at TVs. (Sorry, I gave away the punchline.)

Played very well v North

Not according to J Brown +/- Roosy.

 

Jordan Lewis is one of the bravest players that has played the game.  I wouldn't have played at all after a 1/10th of the hit he received from Gia? v the dogs a few years ago.  He can be proud of his career, and his 4 flags.

But Melbourne's decision to get him, though filling the simpleton's heart with glee, said more about how inward-looking and safe we still were.  Bevo's dogs didn't need an ageing leader at the 11th hour; nor did the TiGeRs.

I am celebrating Lewis out, because for the first time since late 2016, I can trust most of the 22 in terms of leg speed and keeping their feet.  And yes, I am sure we won't miss his leadership...whatever that was supposed to ever mean and solve.

Honestly show respect for a 4 time premiership player who still had hunger to finish 3rd b&f whilst Watts had every opportunity to improve but come back underdone in preseason & after his injury  & Lewis kept on playing injured!

Did anyone see the footage of him chasing luke breust for 40m and getting overtaken by wagner? Broken hand or not he's too slow.

 

I've also broken a hand before and played out a game. It's not a painful injury.

How is he out of form? He Was the highest possession winner against North and one of the main reasons we beat Brisbane. 

Are you basing his drop in form from Sunday when he played with a broken hand? 

When he's keeping a player like Jayden Hunt out of the team I have a major problem with it. Our main problem is leg speed other teams notably Hawthorn use it to plot our downfall, he is a plodder keeping out a Jet for what purpose to play as a loose defender?

Didn't we bring in a 800k a year defender from Adelaide to play that role? what does he bring to the team D11? onfield leadership? onfield coach? tell me D11 I would love to know. 

He's so unaccountable as a defender let's players run past him at will, teams put pacey players on him to expose him, North are mediocre let's be real regardless of streak.

oh I forgot he got the most possessions against Brisbane did he? gee wiz wow that's amazing, do you know they lost by 93 pts on the weekend D11, makes it look like a masterpiece of a game.

How bout young Stretchy I'd rather him as well plenty of toe about him give him a go now. Lewis will keep. He'll still get his top up of super from us.

Jonathon Brown was not impressed with his game against Brisbane and tends to agree with my sentiments and he's a big wrap for the Dees.

Sorry D11 I'm not on my own here other sets of eyes watch these games and say the same thing, that's life.

Well if Jonathan Brown agrees with you, you must be right.  I said he got the most p’s against Nth, not Brisbane.  

Granted he doesn’t have much pace but he never has.  Go back and watch some of the replays of his delivery by foot.  I am a Hunt fan but he is a horrible kick.  

How am I suppose to know what he says on the field and how he leads but since you’re the football genius I guess you can tell from your arm chair. 

Lever didn’t come to us to play a half back role.

The only person who's kept Jayden Hunt out is Hunt himself.

Jayden Hunt is keeping Jayden Hunt out of the side.  From the moment the first JLT game began until he was dropped he was in horrible, horrible form.  It had nothing to do with Jordan Lewis.

He has never been quick, what’s your point? Speed is not the only thing needed to play footy. 

I guess you know exactly what type of break it was and his pain must have been exactly the same as yours.

Some of the stuff said on here has been disgraceful. Holding to the upcoming ANZAC day spirit, you wouldn't treat someone who's putting their body on the week in, week out for the club like that. I admit Jordie wasn't in great form but to be so disrespectful to someone who has shown so much commitment to the players and coaches to be named vice-captain is appalling. 

Gee the footy is important but we're the MFC people, we stand for the club that is so great in every way, we're not collingwood flogs. People who spend every week trying to get us glory and honour should be treated with the respect they deserve. Some of you need to take a good hard look at yourselves.

I still don’t get it.  If he was injured, why wasn’t he benched, and a fit player used?  I do not question his endeavour, or even his bravery.  My issue is with the medical team and coaching staff having on the field if he was injured, or Lewis not letting on that he was injured.  I thought Goodwin wanted ‘fit’ players.  Could have shuffled the deck chairs, and maybe seen something different from what we saw.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the
