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.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.
