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: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
