Great win by the club today, but felt Lewis was really poor again.

8 kicks, 5 handballs. 5 turn overs and a disposal efficiency of 54%

1 tackle, 7 pressure acts.

... an Interesting symmetry is...  the past couple of weeks he's been back...  we've played better as a team.

and today with him in,  we beat his old side.

    I've been off Lewis for a while now but I thought he was actually quite good in the last 10 minutes today.  His marshalling of the defence and his important late touches made a real difference.  He is a liability in that he is of no use when the game is at its quickest but as it slows down and becomes more of a slog he can find a useful groove.  He's not long for the AFL but I thought he did what was needed late today.  Having said that I'd think that when Lever and May return there won't be the same need for his generalship of the defence.

    So he still has at least two months to go, got a feeling he is going to play out the year without much challenge.

    absolutely hopeless today. why is he even in the team. turns it over by foot and far too slow. Is also undisciplined so he really offers nothing for us.

    I sense end of season.

    Even when Lever,  and May return...  and with they're Ego's,  I reckon Lew is still required to help them to team-up together,  instead of butt heads.

    End of season is fine...  as long as he thinks he can maintain that spot.

     

    The Leadership symmetry will be the next thing to build upon...  with Lewis almost finished,  and Jonesy not far behind him.

    He really needs to do the right thing and call it a day and leave us a list space for our mid season draft. Won’t do it because Lewis is focused on Lewis, but Jesus he is cooked. He runs in sand and he cannot kick. 

    Kinda sad to see such an amazing career come to such a poor end.

    Not a fan. Bar a good spell towards the end of last year, he has offered little.

    As he has slowed, it has made his disposal more rushed, leading to turnovers. If he can’t at least steady the ship and hit targets, he offers us nothing.

    Do you actually know how many games we have won without Lewis since he’s been at the club ?? 

     

    1 ( One ) Sydney - Get off his back !

     

    Below the barrel argument.  If he was a footy realist, today should have been his last game of AFL football.

    The game past him by in 2016.  Clarko knew it, and a few others.  Only the simple and the desperate didn’t.

    Jordan will play out the year and then i hope he becomes a coach. 

    I hope he takes a spot with us,  as a playing  'assistant-coach'  at Casey,  for a year...  helping our kids of last season's draft,  and of this coming draft  to learn the right way.

     

    Maybe after that 12 months,  there might be a full-time coaching role,  somewhere for him.

    I don't like to knock champs who are getting toward the end of fantastic, generational career.

    However, his form this year has been poor ( not helped by an early injury) and his place in the team must now be considered marginal at best.

    Probably time for him to pull the pin.

    I was calling for his head at 1/2 time. Has to go. However his last 1/2 of last quarter was very good.

    When he gave up yet another goal after an errant pass, he went straight to the bench and I couldn’t help it it ,but I yelled “And stay off Lewis!!” 

    I reckon he heard me because he looked straight up at me.

    Because they have had such a lot of time and played so much in blending into our backline??

    Lewis won’t coach when he retires. He basically works part time at Fox Footy. He’ll go full-time at season’s end and also work at SEN I reckon.

    Oliver and Jake Melksham questioned Jordan Lewis as to why he had not taken possession of a ball in a contest with O'Meara near the boundary. The ball, instead, went over the line. Suffice to say, Lewis did not appreciate the feedback.

    Because they are both leaders (especially Lever) who understand how a backline should set up. But anyway...

    Saw him choose to not tackle or harass on the boundary just let the opponent run past looked very casual no desperation even though the Dorks were surging into their forward 50 looked disinterested I had binoculars on it

    Think the large lump of Cow Crap on his head that he uses to cover his bald patch is a distraction.

    He is worried it may fall off if he tackles

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
