I actually thought Frost played well and i know he can be a bit meh at times, but i actually like the look of our backline a lot more now that hes in (i.e. since Lever went down i haven't liked it). I'd happily play him the rest of the year. 

Yes but that was against Freo in Darwin.  not a high reference.  I think he (Frost) can play the wing role, from TMc.

    I have faith in experience. The season is tight. We need as much experience as we can get for the next 7 weeks

    Our Captains don’t have it. Lewis does

    That's the whole point, mate he's 32+yrs old...   we'll need him thru August and September.  His body has had a real workover for 14 years.

    We are about to enter some big games, and then finals.

    We are limping now since Lever went down.

    We entered the season limping with regard to TMc and Viney...  when all those 3 got together, we hit our straps.  Then Lever went down.

    We have been battling to find something that will work  at half back since that time.  Since then Oscar started to struggle a bit and Harry Petty experiment didn't workout.

     

    So to imply we are traveling well,,, and we should not take any risks now, in July, is crazy.

    Now is the time to try to get that back pivot sorted out, as best we can.

     

    Personally myself I would bite he bullet and send TMc back to CHB for this year, and play Hogan & Weide, up forward, and Pedo where required.

     

    Is agree we are limping and never ever said we are ok. I think we're a good chance to miss finals

    i just don't think we should be experimenting on the premise we will be playing finals

     

    but that's ok we don't agree.?

    To win big games timbo, and to win finals matches, you have to have a mental attitude to take it on, to take your chances, conservative doesn't cut it in Finals.

    We have to put it all on the line, and back that right up,,, for keeps.

     

    Playing safe is a strong reason to not get there.

    Thanks for the couple of years mate...

    The experience you have brought to the club has been invaluable but now is the time.

    ...we need to move on and develop the list now.

    He was horrible. But so was the rest of the team. 

    He shouldn’t be a walk up start next year, but neither should Jones - who had a worse September than Jordan...

    We got shown up between the ears today across the board. To lay it at the feet of the easy targets is a trap we should avoid.

    Agree. He was horrible today and made some basic skill errors.

    I would hope he does the right thing and retires now 'rp'...it's time.

    It's not just the poor game, it's the lack of discipline that I can't take from a senior player.

    It happens too often, he set a really poor tone in the first quarter when he should have been rallying the boys.

    ...as I say, I reckon he's been invaluable around the club for the couple of years we've had him but time is up now.

    The entire team was horrible. Yeah, Lewis had a shocker but he was excellent in the last two weeks. Overreaction.

    I agree that he should retire. 

    Not just based on today's poor showing.

    Football is a young man's game. He's too slow.

    AFL requires one touch players.

    He two grabs even simple marks.

    This is a stupid thread.  Why does most of use always blame Jordan Lewis and Nathan Jones they didn't play well but they wern't the worst. Way too big of a overreaction.

    Rubbish. Lewis was immense in our two wins. He had a bad day today but so did Gawn and Jones. And many others.

    It's time for Lewis & Vince. And the end is coming fast for Jones.

    Experience should get you a steady hand, cool head, decent decision-making, good execution, discipline and leadership.

    In that first quarter we got anything but.

    We hardly had a winner on the day, but he set the tone and was WOG for mine, when the game was there to be lost.

    If he plays next year, we might as well rebuild.

    I do value loopy handballs and handballs to intercepts from a 4x premiership player.

    Nathan Jones needs a new role. He has earned the right to be indulged a bit so long as he contributes and he is not keeping any one out.

    His best position is still inside mid to hold the ball in but he is being denied the role.

    Maybe others should be trained to play his outside role that is more natural for them. I see Harmes and Brayshaw with the right attributes.

    FD better think hard.

    Lewis was probably our worst today. So many critical errors at critical times.

    But Jones was terrible, Gawn played his worst game for the year, Oliver was poor and possibly also played his worst game for the year, TMac was unsighted.

    Both Lewis and Jones are coming to the end and it's going to be interesting to see what we do with them in 2019.

    Played some decent games towards the end of the year but cracks started to open in the final term against the Hawks and they busted wide open against the Eagles.

    Coaching or media role surely beckons.

    • PREVIEW: Fremantle

      A month is a long time in AFL football. The proof of this is in the current state of the two teams contesting against each other early this Saturday afternoon at the MCG. It’s hard to fathom that when Melbourne and Fremantle kicked off the 2025 season, the former looked like being a major player in this year’s competition after it came close to beating one of the favourites in the GWS Giants while the latter was smashed by Geelong to the tune of 78 points and looked like rubbish. Fast forward to today and the Demons are low on confidence and appear panic stricken as their winless streak heads towards an even half dozen and pressure mounts on the coach and team leadership.  Meanwhile, the Dockers have recovered their composure and now sit in the top eight. They are definitely on the up and up and look most likely winners this weekend against a team which they have recently dominated and which struggles to find enough passages to the goals to trouble the scorers. And with that, Fremantle will head to the MCG, feeling very good about itself after demolishing Richmond in the Barossa Valley with Josh Treacy coming off a six goal haul and facing up to a Melbourne defence already without Jake Lever and a shaky Steven May needing to pass a fitness test just to make it onto the field of play.

    • NON-MFC: Round 06

      The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Essendon

      What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.
