    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

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
