Discussion on recent allegations about the use of illicit drugs in football is forbidden
  • IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING

    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

Outside of the 50 metre penalty, which had Walters going down as if he was smashed by a battering ram, I though Lewis did his job well tonight.  He was part of a backline that dominated and he played his role with minimal fuss.

The backline didn’t have to do anything because the ball never went down there without Sandilands and Fyfe.

On top of that the Fremantle forwards are all no-names anyway.

Lewis constantly falls over, panics under pressure and struggles to bend down to pick up the ball. That 50 metre penalty was a disgrace, especially from someone supposed to be a leader.

The missed punch of the ball that went for a deliberate when it was 3 on 1 was one of softest things I've seen on a footy field this year.

Of course Derm and the rest of the crew covered for him but any Demon fan who has been watching closely knows he was afraid to gather that ball and to get tackled.

First two lines are fluff.  He is generally pretty good regardless of the opposition.  

And I rarely see Lewis panic with the ball in hand.  He isn't quick and he should keep his feet a little more often, but panic isn't something I see him do.  

The 50 metre penalty shouldn't have been given.  Any player with more than pea heart would have kept on running.  Walters, however, milked it and suck the umpire in.

Your thoughts on his performance on irrelevant to me now.  You're so fixated on potting the bloke that it overtakes any form of rational thought on the matter.

So it’s Lewis’s turn this week? Last week was OMac, there’s always someone on the hate list

He's fine with ball in hand, a complete liability when it's loose. Time for the old face-saving mystery injury.

Not going to happen guys until someone at VFL level pushes him out and that isn't happening as far as I can see.

More the pity ..not because of any loss of form but it has been so obvious that his place and that of Vince is up for grabs.

Getting to the stage where we may need to trade for his replacement come seasons end.

Hunt or Wagner anyone ? They certainly don't cut it at present.

Agree. When he realises he can’t contest he chooses to fall over.

MFC will get him to 300 games.

Assistant coaching role in 2019.

He has been good this year tbh, although his lack of discipline for a player of his experience is unforgivable. It potentially cost us 4 points in round 1, and he still hasn't learnt.

It's a sound approach - carry him to 300 , cost us some games - sounds fair to the team (if that is indeed what is happening)

I still think the positives far outweigh the negatives.

And he is a scapegoat right now for our issues. 

Our mids are frontrunners and until they work hard back against good teams - we are nowhere. It has little to do with Jordan Lewis.

PS. I appreciate what Lewis has done the last 2 years - he has almost directly filled the role of two of our most important players the last two years; Viney and Lever. And as @america de cali points out - and we need - he is very unMelbourne in his demeanour...

Didn't put his body behind the ball a couple of times and hacked at it, but agree he was good and was clearly the backline general.

The title of this thread is quite possibly the most inaccurate & inappropriate in all my time at Demonland.  It has gone on for far too long and is quite frankly demeaning to the Demonland brand. Please close it down. 

or simply change the title.

I don't deny that Lewis has footy smarts but in 2018 AFL footy demands a minimum level of athleticism.  Lewis does not reach that level. I can't see him matching up with either Butler or Caddy. Butler in particular would be way to nimble for Lewis. If he played on Caddy he'd have to be an accountable man on man defender rather than an inside mid transplanted to  quarterback of the half back in twilight  of career. 

Start a new topic? Lewis for 2IC to the Head Coach? Lewis retires, takes on a senior coaching role with Dees? Lewis oversights Dees' game day tactics?

I would be mortified if the Lever-less defence also had Lewis out. Maturity and a cool head needed and given his limitations sometimes Lewis does that role very well. Same for Bernie.  They will help the transition with Oscar  this year and one or both should be mandatory at present.

Lever BTW seems to becoming a Ch 7 darling and was great with Daisy on their Sunday show today. Future skipper for sure.

If he anything he's cool under pressure and often makes good decisions when the heats on.
The rest ...... Been there, done that and don't care no more.

I like his mongrel. Every good side has more than one. Without him we would only have Viney. 

What mongrel? A cheap shot 50 that didn't hurt and cost a goal is not mongrel. Neither is looking to hack the ball off the ground or punch it wildly because you won't put your body on the line.

We need mongrel for sure. But it comes from the players who are willing to go when it's their turn.

I'd like to see Vanders in the team for just that reason, but otherwise Lewis isn't provide any form of intimidation when he's the one who's running scared

    DEPTH CHARGE by Whispering Jack

    The jubilation on the coach’s face as he danced a celebratory jig by the playing bench after the final siren sounded to record his team’s four-point victory over the Demons when the teams last met, said it all.    On that rainy Friday night at the Adelaide Oval, Ken Hinkley’s young midfield secured much more than four points on offer. The victory over one of the big dogs of the competition after a succession of wins over some of its lesser lights gave his team respect and validation fo

    HIBERNATING by KC from Casey

    When they locked up the rooms for summer at the end of last year’s football season, the rooms gathered cobwebs, the atmosphere became dense and the place developed a sleepy feel. They opened up the rooms to let Casey out to play on Sunday but the team was still hibernating and they missed the bulk of the opening quarter. By the time they worked out it was game on, their opponents from Box Hill had accumulated five goals and, if the game wasn’t over, it might as well have been. For a se

    A FORK IN THE HAWK by George on the Outer

    For too long in the past, Demon fans became habitually sick and tired of watching the Hawks hand out thrashings to their side. But Melbourne’s empahtic 55-point win at the MCG on Saturday has truly put a fork in the Hawk and turned that history well and truly on its head. The Demons have now won nine of their last ten encounters with the other result, a draw.     And like a fork, it was the multi-pronged options that Melbourne had all across the ground.  It certainly helped that Hawthorn
