If you look at the numbers, we are far more likely to win a game of footy than not with him on the park (even if his individual output is woeful). Until that changes, I see no reason to not select Lewis in our 22. The data is there, and we rarely win games when he isn't on the park.

"Last week could have been his last game for the footy club, but I'd hope that's not the case, because he's still got 15 games to go."

Clarkson was raking leaves off his front lawn on Friday morning, only for an electrician working next door to quip: "You shouldn't be doing the leaves, you should get 'Roughy' to do that. He's got nothing to do on the weekend."

 
Brutal.

You laugh at Frost

I am a fan of Frost ... rjay isn't

Stop jumping at shadows

And I don't laugh at any players ... never have,  never will.

Why do have the need to slag off at so many of your own players?  You are so full of hate ... I actually feel sorry for you.  You need help.

Brutal wins flags.

Lewis is only getting a game on reputation and contract status; pure and simple.

 

The trickle down culture of: paying big bucks to Lever and May....and gifting Lewis a game.

So who are your 7 defenders ... name them all if you can rjay as we often play 1 more back

Are you going to name Frost?  ha ha

I would keep the current lineup but with Sparrow in for Lewis...

As for Frost, well....he's been ok and his pace can be an asset.

Keep the game simple for him but as soon as he goes away from simple we are in a world of trouble.

Who knows, maybe he can become a footballer.

Stanley seems to have done it at Geelong and that's something I can say I never saw coming.

...but for now if it was a toss up between him and Oscar then it's Frost.

I can almost guarantee that Goodwin won't see the defence as being our major issue right now

He knows we're undermanned and under seige down back and he'll also know that our real issues are further afield.

Blaming the A--end of a problem is dumb analysis.  Lewis is at a stage where he can shine if the team plays well.  And for many players,  that defines their entire career.

I don't see it as our only problem but it is a problem none the less.

Would rather put development time into Sparrow now as he could be the longer term replacement for Jetta.

Just don't see the point in Lewis any more...

And I see our defence as being threadbare right now so Lewis stays.  I also haven't given up on the season either so every win matters from here on in.

But good on you for sticking your neck out and offering a viable solution.  With Hore back there already you don't want too many inexperienced types.  Frost & Oscar aren't exactly seasoned veterans either.

The next month sees us go the Eagles,  QB clash and games against the Crows & Giants. To my way of thinking we need some experience down back.  Lewis isn't the player he was but he is still capable of standing out if the team plays well.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
