Outside of the 50 metre penalty, which had Walters going down as if he was smashed by a battering ram, I though Lewis did his job well tonight.  He was part of a backline that dominated and he played his role with minimal fuss.

    The backline didn’t have to do anything because the ball never went down there without Sandilands and Fyfe.

    On top of that the Fremantle forwards are all no-names anyway.

    Lewis constantly falls over, panics under pressure and struggles to bend down to pick up the ball. That 50 metre penalty was a disgrace, especially from someone supposed to be a leader.

    The missed punch of the ball that went for a deliberate when it was 3 on 1 was one of softest things I've seen on a footy field this year.

    Of course Derm and the rest of the crew covered for him but any Demon fan who has been watching closely knows he was afraid to gather that ball and to get tackled.

    First two lines are fluff.  He is generally pretty good regardless of the opposition.  

    And I rarely see Lewis panic with the ball in hand.  He isn't quick and he should keep his feet a little more often, but panic isn't something I see him do.  

    The 50 metre penalty shouldn't have been given.  Any player with more than pea heart would have kept on running.  Walters, however, milked it and suck the umpire in.

    Your thoughts on his performance on irrelevant to me now.  You're so fixated on potting the bloke that it overtakes any form of rational thought on the matter.

    So it’s Lewis’s turn this week? Last week was OMac, there’s always someone on the hate list

    He's fine with ball in hand, a complete liability when it's loose. Time for the old face-saving mystery injury.

    Not going to happen guys until someone at VFL level pushes him out and that isn't happening as far as I can see.

    More the pity ..not because of any loss of form but it has been so obvious that his place and that of Vince is up for grabs.

    Getting to the stage where we may need to trade for his replacement come seasons end.

    Hunt or Wagner anyone ? They certainly don't cut it at present.

    He has been good this year tbh, although his lack of discipline for a player of his experience is unforgivable. It potentially cost us 4 points in round 1, and he still hasn't learnt.

    Agree. When he realises he can’t contest he chooses to fall over.

    MFC will get him to 300 games.

    Assistant coaching role in 2019.

    It's a sound approach - carry him to 300 , cost us some games - sounds fair to the team (if that is indeed what is happening)

    Half-paced, half-arsed half the time. Often plays with the urgency of Watts without the footskill or discipline.

    I like his mongrel. Every good side has more than one. Without him we would only have Viney.

    The title of this thread is quite possibly the most inaccurate & inappropriate in all my time at Demonland.  It has gone on for far too long and is quite frankly demeaning to the Demonland brand. Please close it down.

    I still think the positives far outweigh the negatives.

    And he is a scapegoat right now for our issues. 

    Our mids are frontrunners and until they work hard back against good teams - we are nowhere. It has little to do with Jordan Lewis.

    PS. I appreciate what Lewis has done the last 2 years - he has almost directly filled the role of two of our most important players the last two years; Viney and Lever. And as @america de cali points out - and we need - he is very unMelbourne in his demeanour...

    Didn't put his body behind the ball a couple of times and hacked at it, but agree he was good and was clearly the backline general.

    I don't deny that Lewis has footy smarts but in 2018 AFL footy demands a minimum level of athleticism.  Lewis does not reach that level. I can't see him matching up with either Butler or Caddy. Butler in particular would be way to nimble for Lewis. If he played on Caddy he'd have to be an accountable man on man defender rather than an inside mid transplanted to  quarterback of the half back in twilight  of career. 

    Start a new topic? Lewis for 2IC to the Head Coach? Lewis retires, takes on a senior coaching role with Dees? Lewis oversights Dees' game day tactics?

    I would be mortified if the Lever-less defence also had Lewis out. Maturity and a cool head needed and given his limitations sometimes Lewis does that role very well. Same for Bernie.  They will help the transition with Oscar  this year and one or both should be mandatory at present.

    Lever BTW seems to becoming a Ch 7 darling and was great with Daisy on their Sunday show today. Future skipper for sure.

    If he anything he's cool under pressure and often makes good decisions when the heats on.
    The rest ...... Been there, done that and don't care no more.

    What mongrel? A cheap shot 50 that didn't hurt and cost a goal is not mongrel. Neither is looking to hack the ball off the ground or punch it wildly because you won't put your body on the line.

    We need mongrel for sure. But it comes from the players who are willing to go when it's their turn.

    I'd like to see Vanders in the team for just that reason, but otherwise Lewis isn't provide any form of intimidation when he's the one who's running scared

    • NON-MFC: Round 05

      Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • CASEY: Geelong

      There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

    • REPORT: Geelong

      I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
