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

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?
