Funny how this thread doesn't pop up in the previous two weeks, or the two games prior to finals, when he was terrific. 

Then the usuals come out to pot him in a game where 20 players stunk it up. Funny that. 

I think the problem here is that Jordan was brought in because of his experience and finals nouse and today, he, himself, started the rot.

He turned it over with a shocking handball for a goal, he then did it again, he then belted Ryan in the guts for another one and then gave away a 50 for stupidity and another goal.

He seemed to go half hearted at the contest a few times as well.

Most on here are furious with that.

As someone said he was given 1/10 by a Journo for today's effort.

His bad play and resultant goals started the rot and yes we went downhill from there.

The team was putrid, but IMO and many others on here, he started it.

Confidence can be lost in momentum and he killed it.

I am not knocking Jordan, only his game today.

TBH, I think he would agree.

I won't argue that his game was well below the standard he set for himself over the last month.  

What I am disappointed in is how quick the people who want to sink the boots in are just as quick to ignore him when he plays really well and provides the leadership we've been after.  Spencer is obviously the worst as he wants his thread to stick, so he won't jump in here to praise his efforts, he just gives the impression that he's sitting in the corner, waiting for him to stuff up so he can pop his head out.  It's poor.

But, again, I won't argue that he played poorly today.  But as you say, others were just as bad.

He was terrible today but he has to play on next year for mine. 

We’ll never know the full extent of the impact he’s had but I reckon it’s definitely more than what the eyeball test shows. Plus we do not have replacements for that position, not yet anyway.

Agree with his overall value, but today's game was the kiss of death, he did exactly what we were worried an inexperienced player would do. As brave as I think he has been and as great as he is, I also think he now 'hears footsteps' and is no longer a one touch player. Keep him as a coach but Lever takes his place. This is not because he is slow either, he failed badly at the QB role today.

I’m surprised we had 6 players that made such a positive impact on you!


Was awful today, but so was the whole team. The first 2 finals he did really well. Keep him one more year, but hopefully he’ll be forced out of the 22 by the end of it, which is how natural progression should work.

Also let’s get a few names happening. Who are the 6 who can walk right into the BP/HBF composed kick, slow the game down when necessary, leadership role?

If I hear Josh Wagner as one of these I’ll be very upset!

Has been ok last few weeks until dying in the arse today, but we're mad if we don't start trying to upgrade ASAP. Cannot finish 2019 in the 1s if we're serious.

Problem with Baker?

He may not turn out too good, but you have to give them a try. Hard when Lewis is taking his spot.

And that is counted against him for today, yet not counted for the previous two wins? 

No player is perfect, and we had plenty off the boil today. 

To be fair, I found it inexplicable that they weren’t able to properly exploit Lewis and always felt a good team would find a way.

His crab-like lack of mobility means he has no other option than loopy handballs if you play him in the right way.

Brain-fades were just icing on a [censored] cake.

we won't know for sure whether some of his errors and ill discipline started the rot and dynamic of the team in the early part of the 1st quarter, but it certainly didn't help. having said that he was very influential inn helping the team progress to the prelim. had a good year overall

Preliminary final 0.5/10

the 2018 year 8/10

dessrves to play again with his role again as a defensive quarterback half back. 

2019 will be his last year. Let’s deliver a premiership and Lewis 5th!!

can those who are criticizing him suggest who we replace him with?

One of the best late senior players we have picked up. Sure we gave him three years but it's not his fault that there's not someone bashing down the door to take his place.

And of course his first two finals were sublime.

Lever.

Lewis is still the best we have for footy IQ and analysing the play during quarters.  So for me he plays on and limit his games to the eastern seaboard to conserve his energy. 

He was mentoring Lever who is a fast learner. When Lever went out we missed his leadership down back.  He has learnt plenty in the coaches box this year.  He will learn more playing alongside Lewis next year.

We don't have enough good leaders.  Jack Viney brings his own brand of leadership.  No offence to Jack but he doesn't have the subtlety and footy IQ Lever has. 

Tbh I would like to see Lever as co-captain (with Viney) next year to learn more from Lewis. 


If we are serious about winning a flag the best place for Jordy next year is the coaches box.  Slow, fumbly and lacks conviction in the contest.  He has battle fatigue and in all honesty has had it for most of the last two years.  Clarkson moved him on at the right time.  He has an acute footy brain and is a great communicator but if he is still more value in our side than Fritsch, Hunt or Lever next year, we aren't making finals, let alone competing for premierships.

Calling it COOKED! If we are serious he can stay on list with no guarantees of game time and be mentor at Casey. To slow exposed badly yesterday for pace and can make crucially dumb decisions.

Happy for him to stay on as a coach, but too many brain fades at crucial times for a so called”experienced player”.

He looked really slow at times this year and unfortunately he ain’t gonna get any quicker

Seeing those hospital handballs that resulted in goals 4 them made me cringe.

Look yesterday we needed the Lewis who played really well against geelong and hawthorn, but yesterday we got the undisciplined Jordan. The one who gave away a dumb free kick in the 1st quarter resulting in a goal, gave away 50's butchered the ball, yes I know he wasn't the only one but he is meant to know better. 

I suspect he may go on for another year though, or maybe he thinks he has had enough.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
