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.

    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.

    • CASEY: Sydney

      The Casey Demons were always expected to emerge victorious in their matchup against the lowly-ranked Sydney Swans at picturesque Tramway Oval, situated in the shadows of the SCG in Moore Park. They dominated the proceedings in the opening two and a half quarters of the game but had little to show for it. This was primarily due to their own sloppy errors in a low-standard game that produced a number of crowded mauls reminiscent of the rugby game popular in old Sydney Town. However, when the Swans tired, as teams often do when they turn games into ugly defensive contests, Casey lifted the standard of its own play and … it was off to the races. Not to nearby Randwick but to a different race with an objective of piling on goal after goal on the way to a mammoth victory. At the 25-minute mark of the third quarter, the Demons held a slender 14-point lead over the Swans, who are ahead on the ladder of only the previous week's opposition, the ailing Bullants. Forty minutes later, they had more than fully compensated for the sloppiness of their earlier play with a decisive 94-point victory, that culminated in a rousing finish which yielded thirteen unanswered goals. Kicks hit their targets, the ball found itself going through the middle and every player made a contribution.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      Hands up if you thought, like me, at half-time in yesterday’s game at TIO Traeger Park, Alice Springs that Melbourne’s disposal around the ground and, in particular, its kicking inaccuracy in front of the goals couldn’t get any worse. Well, it did. And what’s even more damning for the Melbourne Football Club is that the game against St Kilda and its resurgence from the bottomless pit of its miserable start to the season wasn’t just lost through poor conversion for goal but rather in the 15 minutes when the entire team went into a slumber and was mugged by the out-of-form Saints. Their six goals two behinds (one goal less than the Demons managed for the whole game) weaved a path of destruction from which they were unable to recover. Ross Lyon’s astute use of pressure to contain the situation once they had asserted their grip on the game, and Melbourne’s self-destructive wastefulness, assured that outcome. The old adage about the insanity of repeatedly doing something and expecting a different result, was out there. Two years ago, the score line in Melbourne’s loss to the Giants at this same ground was 5 goals 15 behinds - a ratio of one goal per four scoring shots - was perfectly replicated with yesterday’s 7 goals 21 behinds. 
      This has been going on for a while and opens up a number of questions. I’ll put forward a few that come to mind from this performance. The obvious first question is whether the club can find a suitable coach to instruct players on proper kicking techniques or is this a skill that can no longer be developed at this stage of the development of our playing group? Another concern is the team's ability to counter an opponent's dominance during a run on as exemplified by the Saints in the first quarter. Did the Demons underestimate their opponents, considering St Kilda's goals during this period were scored by relatively unknown forwards? Furthermore, given the modest attendance of 6,721 at TIO Traeger Park and the team's poor past performances at this venue, is it prudent to prioritize financial gain over potentially sacrificing valuable premiership points by relinquishing home ground advantage, notwithstanding the cultural significance of the team's connection to the Red Centre?

      After kicking the first goal of the match the Demons were always playing catch up against the Saints in Alice Spring and could never make the most of their inside 50 entries to wrestle back the lead.
