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

Fantastic.  Great post.  Well done TGR.

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

  • PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

  • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

  • CASEY: Box Hill

    The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
