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.

    Rubbish! Played well except for one undisciplined act

    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

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      A hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the “Fuchsias.” They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      Saturday’s election night game in Perth between the West Coast Eagles and Melbourne represents 18th vs 15th which makes it a tough decision as to which party to favour. The Eagles have yet to break the ice under their new coach in Andrew McQualter who is the second understudy in a row to confront Demon Coach Simon Goodwin who was also winless until a fortnight ago. On that basis, many punters might be considering to go with the donkey vote but I’ve been assigned with the task of helping readers to come to a considered opinion on this matter of vital importance across the nation. It was almost a year ago that I wrote a preview here of the Demons’ away game against the Eagles (under the name William from Waalitj because it was Indigenous Round).  I issued a warning that it was a danger game, based on my local knowledge that the home team were no longer easybeats and that they possessed a wunderkind generational player in Harley Reid who was capable of producing stellar performances playing among men a decade and more older than he.  At the time, the Eagles already had two wins off the back of a couple of the young man’s masterclasses and they had recently given the Bombers a scare straight after their Anzac Day blockbuster draw against the then reigning premiers.

    • NON-MFC: Round 08

      Round 08 of the 2025 AFL Season kicks off on Thursday with a must-win game for the Bombers to stay in touch with the top eight, while the struggling Roos seek a morale-boosting upset. Friday sees the Saints desperate for a win as well if they are to stay in finals contention and their opponents the Dockers will be eager to crack in to the Top 8 with a win on the road. Saturday kicks off with a pivotal clash for both sides asthe Bulldogs look to solidify their top-eight spot, while Port seeks to shake their pretender tag. Then the Crows will be looking to steady their topsy turvy season against a resurgent Blues looking to make it 4 wins on the trot. On Election Night a Blockbuster will see the ladder-leading Pies take on the Cats, who are keen to bounce back after a narrow loss. On Sunday the Sydney Derby promises fireworks as the Giants aim to cement their top-eight status, while the Swans fight to keep their season alive. The Hawks, celebrating their centenary, will be looking to easily account for the Tigers who are desperate to halt their slide. The Round concludes on Sunday Night with a top end of the table QClash with significant ladder implications; both Queensland teams are in scintillating form. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons hit the road in Round 8, heading to Perth to face the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium. With momentum building, the Dees will be aiming for a third straight victory to keep their season revival on course. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • 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.
