I actually thought Frost played well and i know he can be a bit meh at times, but i actually like the look of our backline a lot more now that hes in (i.e. since Lever went down i haven't liked it). I'd happily play him the rest of the year. 

Yes but that was against Freo in Darwin.  not a high reference.  I think he (Frost) can play the wing role, from TMc.

    I have faith in experience. The season is tight. We need as much experience as we can get for the next 7 weeks

    Our Captains don’t have it. Lewis does

    That's the whole point, mate he's 32+yrs old...   we'll need him thru August and September.  His body has had a real workover for 14 years.

    We are about to enter some big games, and then finals.

    We are limping now since Lever went down.

    We entered the season limping with regard to TMc and Viney...  when all those 3 got together, we hit our straps.  Then Lever went down.

    We have been battling to find something that will work  at half back since that time.  Since then Oscar started to struggle a bit and Harry Petty experiment didn't workout.

     

    So to imply we are traveling well,,, and we should not take any risks now, in July, is crazy.

    Now is the time to try to get that back pivot sorted out, as best we can.

     

    Personally myself I would bite he bullet and send TMc back to CHB for this year, and play Hogan & Weide, up forward, and Pedo where required.

     

    Is agree we are limping and never ever said we are ok. I think we're a good chance to miss finals

    i just don't think we should be experimenting on the premise we will be playing finals

     

    but that's ok we don't agree.?

    To win big games timbo, and to win finals matches, you have to have a mental attitude to take it on, to take your chances, conservative doesn't cut it in Finals.

    We have to put it all on the line, and back that right up,,, for keeps.

     

    Playing safe is a strong reason to not get there.

    Thanks for the couple of years mate...

    The experience you have brought to the club has been invaluable but now is the time.

    ...we need to move on and develop the list now.

    He was horrible. But so was the rest of the team. 

    He shouldn’t be a walk up start next year, but neither should Jones - who had a worse September than Jordan...

    We got shown up between the ears today across the board. To lay it at the feet of the easy targets is a trap we should avoid.

    Agree. He was horrible today and made some basic skill errors.

    I would hope he does the right thing and retires now 'rp'...it's time.

    It's not just the poor game, it's the lack of discipline that I can't take from a senior player.

    It happens too often, he set a really poor tone in the first quarter when he should have been rallying the boys.

    ...as I say, I reckon he's been invaluable around the club for the couple of years we've had him but time is up now.

    The entire team was horrible. Yeah, Lewis had a shocker but he was excellent in the last two weeks. Overreaction.

    I agree that he should retire. 

    Not just based on today's poor showing.

    Football is a young man's game. He's too slow.

    AFL requires one touch players.

    He two grabs even simple marks.

    Not alone. But is also not the future. 

    2019 is his last year.

    This is a stupid thread.  Why does most of use always blame Jordan Lewis and Nathan Jones they didn't play well but they wern't the worst. Way too big of a overreaction.

    Rubbish. Lewis was immense in our two wins. He had a bad day today but so did Gawn and Jones. And many others.

    It's time for Lewis & Vince. And the end is coming fast for Jones.

    Experience should get you a steady hand, cool head, decent decision-making, good execution, discipline and leadership.

    In that first quarter we got anything but.

    We hardly had a winner on the day, but he set the tone and was WOG for mine, when the game was there to be lost.

    If he plays next year, we might as well rebuild.

    I do value loopy handballs and handballs to intercepts from a 4x premiership player.

    Nathan Jones needs a new role. He has earned the right to be indulged a bit so long as he contributes and he is not keeping any one out.

    His best position is still inside mid to hold the ball in but he is being denied the role.

    Maybe others should be trained to play his outside role that is more natural for them. I see Harmes and Brayshaw with the right attributes.

    FD better think hard.

    Lewis was probably our worst today. So many critical errors at critical times.

    But Jones was terrible, Gawn played his worst game for the year, Oliver was poor and possibly also played his worst game for the year, TMac was unsighted.

    Both Lewis and Jones are coming to the end and it's going to be interesting to see what we do with them in 2019.

    Played some decent games towards the end of the year but cracks started to open in the final term against the Hawks and they busted wide open against the Eagles.

    Coaching or media role surely beckons.

    • 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.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
