Jordan Lewis is absolutely cooked, never pick him again

[Moonshadow 17,678]

Yeah, nah. Getting ready to stick a fork in him. Nearly done

[DeeSpencer 26,091]

The day it was all over red rover for Jordan/Jordie/Lewy/old fake hair

Group think for you again, Lewis was ok today, couldn't play his usual QB role because of circumstances, open your eyes and mind

An overblown and over emotive post from @DeeSpencer, bit like @joeboy 3 word

The defence was under seige because the 15 or 16 in front of them didn't defend

What the heck is the point of a defender who can't defend. What role is that? 

If he could run, kick long and tear the game apart I'd accept his lack of defensive skills but he can't. What he can do is find the ball but Hibberd and Salem can do that.

Find me a defender who can't defend who's ever won a premiership. If they do exist I bet they are bringing more to the table than racking up little dinky kicks.

Post after a loss, think twice.

Start thread after a loss, just don't do it.

Groupthink when 88% disagree?

[Supermercado 2,802]

Didn't think much of him, but Vince should be in the gun first.

[Rogue 585]

Lewis is Lewis.

Very slow, goes to ground too easily, is prone to absolutely horrible turnovers and giving away unnecessary frees/50m penalties.

Also able to hit up targets nicely and apparently gives good leadership.

Can't imagine he's playing much senior footy in 2019.

[DemonLad5 1,642]

Is this a sarcastic thread? Was one of our best

[spirit of norm smith 16,596]

Vince goes first. Stupid at times. Needs a blast. Being gifted a game right now. I’d move him to half forward and earn a kick.  He loves a goal

Harsh on Lewis! had a lot to handle today, as Dazzle has said Bernie more a worry. 

Last season I'm afraid!

I thought there'd be a Vince thread first, but I guess that's where my head is at. ?

Booked in to see my doctor tomorrow as I was obviously at a different match today. Thought I was at Dees vs Pies but I must have been watching Lewis on replay when he played for another team. 

[Sir Why You Little 37,239]

The midfield were smashed to pieces  from the first bounce today. 

I am more concerned with Jones once again, not standing up in a big game than Lewis at Half Back. 

The ball was fired at him far too many times. 

Our midfield had a dominant Ruckmen feeding them at all angles and they failed him miserably without a whimper...

Lewis is not the problem...

Lewis was fine today I thought.

Said last year Bernie shouldn't be offered a contract for 2018 and got absolutely blasted on here. He was finished last year and now just plods around doing dinky little 30m kicks from his 15 disposal per game. I'd honestly rather get hunt back in, at least he offers a bit of speed and run out of the back half.

I said the same thing. Old Bernie...he’s always good to throw it on the boot to no one under zero pressure though...take some heart in that.

[Forest Demon 4,681]

I'm not a Lewis fan, but thought he was good today.

I've said it all year, but either he or Vince has to to go. As it stands, I'd swap Vince for Hunt in a heart beat.

Well done, DeeSpencer. You've won by the length of the Flemington Straight. 

This poster was also famous for “I’ve had enough of Tom McDonald” a few years ago. If you’d run a book on hardest bundle dropper I’d have wagered the house.

Perhaps said poster has learned from his lessons and has decided to just pot older blokes who are closer to the end, thus leaving him less room to look a little silly?

I'm done with this pretender being unable to stand any half decent forward with an ounce of leg speed or overhead ability.

I'm done with him falling over or giving away free kicks because he knows he's physically incapable of even halving the contest.

I'm done with his futile efforts to change direction.

I'm done with the way he picks up the ball protecting himself and only on his left side so he can't move on to his right.

I'm done with his handballs that go to grass.

I'm done with him taking kick outs despite only being able to kick 45 metres.

I'm done with his stupid fake hair.

I'm just absolutely done with Jordan Lewis.

Vote. Tell me where you stand. If you're sucked in by the stat padding that invariably occurs when he's a mile from his opponent or even playing 7 defenders then good for you. If you think some of his nice short kicks justify his ongoing selection then let me know.

Personally, I can't have the team playing a guy who will get so badly found out by a good team. I don't see what that achieves? I think we've got 2 really nice rebounding defender options in Hibberd and Salem who whilst not perfect are tough, courageous, pacy and can beat good opponents. They are the guys who should be getting 20 cheap kicks a game and around them we should have defenders who have the ability to actually defend.

Your a drop kick - stop starting threads and support some other team !!

Totally agree with OP. Really hope this is his last year.

Costs us 1-2 goals a game by being slow and unable to chase down opposition forwards. Play another tall or pacey back like Hunt or Frost and see how we go.

We have seen how we go with these two, and it hasn't been any better.  Hunt has more upside and better games in the bank, but he's hardly banging the door down at Casey.

He might have had a bad game but this is a huge overreaction. He has had a very good year so far and certainly wasn’t the only poor performer today.

30 + posession - wake the f up

Has Tom McDonald played as a defender since then? Or did the coaches eventually - through injury or otherwise - wake up to the fact it wasn't working and move him forward.

Even Tom himself admitted he'd lost all confidence in his ball use as a defender.

If you got them to speak honestly I think you'd find a few team mates who have lost all faith in Jordan Lewis as capable of winning a one on one contest or willing to really put his body on the line for his team.

0 impact. How many did he get from playing on from the kick out.
