I thought he should have retired at the end of last season and today’s performance only reinforced that.

    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.

    He literally handed them a goal in the last 10 minutes lol

    I think you'll find that it was actually Oscar McDonald who did that.

    If we're focusing on individual moments, how about getting the free kick marking infringement in front of Roughead with 6mins to go, or his diving mark from the Jaeger inside 50 entry after the Bruess goal with 5 mins to go? That's two inside 50's repelled. And both of his free kicks found targets in Gawn & Hibberd.

    Prefer Lewis to J. Wagner

    I'd prefer Wagner piggybacking Lewis. Then we've got young legs mixed with seasoned football iq

    Had a mixed day, mostly an off one unfortunately.  Looks like a fitness issue at this point and seems to be treading water going at about 55% of last year's usual output.  Might need to be managed a little when Nev returns.

    Threaded the needle a few times with a change of direction coming out of the square to get us some great ground position but offered very little else unfortunately.

    4 Premierships, a B&F and All Australian.  Proud to have Jordy at our club, providing leadership and direction to a very inexperienced backline.

    I trust he will know IF/when it's time.

    P.S.  Jordy should be on the D'land banner ....in place of May who's done zip for this club so far (assuming that IS May in the middle).

    What is the alternative? 

    This is what I want to know. I don't want him in the side, but need to know who we'd fill his spot with or what we'd do with a non like-for-like player. Very willing to discuss alternatives. The idea of on-field leadership is great (if it's actually happening), but we're hardly original recipe GWS having to field Power, Cornes, Brogan and Junior to help the kids.

    100% Supermercado. It’s been the question for a while now as well. If the plan is to just throw J.Wagner in and expect him to control tempo, hit a composed kick on demand and organise the backline then forget it. Having said that to carry this kind of player for over half a season is a stretch (no pun). 

    I can’t see anyone becoming this role player any other way than choosing someone and just sticking them down there for a prolonged period of time, accepting mistakes might happen along the way in the process. Similar to persisting with Hunt up forward.

    He seemed to lace out uncontested Hawks players more often than not today. It might almost be worth telling him to aim at opposition players and he might actually hit one of ours.

    It seems a trifle, to rifle, a gun. Those who do are without patience. Let him weave his wisdom. He has contributed to many a win. The win today was yet another example. Let that stand. I stand with Jordan Lewis. So should you.

    We will be better with him out of the team.  No disrespect to him, its same situation as Vince last season.  We couldnt play both Lewis and Vince.

    Now its the same with Lewis and Jones.

    If anyone has seen the last 2 minutes of the game video on the afl website. Look at lewis in the last minute. Mcevoy marks it deep in defence, gives it off to a burgoyne who gets a free kick. 40 secs left.  Lewis is further up the field pointing and directing. He guards space himself and has 2 hawks players within his vicinity. He mans neither of them but errs on the side of manning the guy further away from our goals leaving the other guy free over the top. Burgoyne hits him and hawks are now streaming down the field with lewis lagging behind.  in the last 20 secs amongst all the chaos, the ball spills to lewis who manages to fumble, but thankfully it didnt hurt us. 

    it just summed lewis up in 1 piece of play. Poor leadership and Incorrect game sense, slow on the transition and not clean.

    I'm not saying he wasnt a gun in the past, but he isnt the same anymore.

    Regardless of results he will need to be transitioned out of the side during the season in preparation for 2020 and beyond. 

    In 4-6 weeks we might see some guys come back. That's when we can talk about what we do with Jordie. Until then he is one of the only viable options we have got back there.

    That was mainly Oscar’s fault. Just waited for the ball to come to him, allowed O’Brien to cut it off.

    Goodwin more or less assured Lewis of continuous gifting of games in his press conference. 

    “He’s earned them.” Something about being a champion of the game  

    Far out Goody. Don’t preach the team first rhetoric and at the same time give me this rubbish. 

    He’s done. He was a jet, a MIDFIELD jet in a team full of stars many years ago.

    He fell off the cliff a long time ago. 

    Can’t wait for Lever and May to get back in the team.

    • NON-MFC: Round 12

      Round 12 kicks off with the Brisbane hosting Essendon at the Gabba as the Lions aim to solidify their top-two position against an injury-hit Bombers side seeking to maintain momentum after a win over Richmond. On Friday night it's a blockbuster at the G as the Magpies look to extend their top of the table winning streak while the Hawks strive to bounce back from a couple of recent defeats and stay in contention for the Top 4. On Saturday the Suns, buoyed by 3 wins on the trot, face the Dockers in a clash crucial for both teams' aspirations this season. The Suns want to solidify their Top 4 standing whilst the Dockers will be desperate to break into the 8.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      The media has performed a complete reversal in its coverage of the Melbourne Football Club over the past month and a half. Having endured intense criticism from all quarters in the press, which continually identified new avenues for scrutiny of every aspect, both on and off the field, and prematurely speculated about the departures of coaches, players, officials, and various employees from a club that lost its first five matches and appeared out of finals contention, the narrative has suddenly shifted to one of unbridled optimism.  The Demons have won five of their last six matches, positioning themselves just one game (and a considerable amount of percentage) outside the top eight at the halfway mark of the season. They still trail the primary contenders and remain far from assured of a finals berth.

    • REPORT: Sydney

      A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

      The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.
