Congrats Jordan Lewis on 300 games

[Delusional demon 82 1,197]

Congrats and best of luck to Lewy on a massive milestone this weekend !

Whilst he can be somewhat of a polarising player on demonland , I’ve always been grateful that he joined our club, I think what he has provided in experience, leadership and on field coaching to our younger group has been invaluable. 

Well done on a stellar career and hopefully there’s at least one more finals campaign in there!!

[Diamond_Jim 12,395]

okay not home grown but it is a real milestone and we should be proud that it is occurring while at our club.

For those who question his worth my comment re Jordan and Vince all year has been that their spots are there for the taking by any member of the VFL side.

Congratulations on joining a very exclusive club.

4 x flags

1 x AA

1 x BnF in a premiership year.

Well done and best of luck (even though he frustrates me).

Congrats Lewis!   will stand up in the big games, like he did on Sat night with 30 touches with a high efficiency rate

hearing him speak on 360 last night you could hear how much he is invested in Melb and how much he wants us to be successful

Congrats and well done on the 300 Jordan. A great AFL career to look back on.

Hopefully makes it to 309 and adds another flag.

Congrats to him.

I reckon the criticism of Lewis has been over the top around here. He does makes 1 bad blue a game, whether it be a turnover or an undisciplined act. However, he ends up playing a solid game week in week out and is always in out best 6-8 players. And he can't help it that he's 32 and lost whatever pace he once had (which from memory wasn't much).

He'd be of massive value to us if and when we ever play a final. While I'd imagine most of our blokes would be running around like headless chooks in the first qtr, he''d provide a massive calming influence to the side.

Probably because most of us hated him at Hawthorn.

Well done Jordan. Thanks for your work so far. 

I hope you play on next year. Your achievements in the game can only benefit all at The MFC

Is Lewis the first Melbourne player to have played 300 games (beside Neitz of course)?

Scott Thompson of the Crows 308 games.. 39 with Melbourne and as you mention Neitz.

It's a very select list

Congrats Jordan. Still real stoked to have you at our footy club! Have a blinder!

[Demon Jack 6,787]

As mentioned above, although it's not a 'homegrown' milestone, it's still a significant milestone for both club and player.

Also, aside from Neitz, does anyone know any other 300 game players who have donned the red and blue? Bit of a rare occurance at this club.

Does Scott Thompson count... ?

For anyone who queries the impact of Lewis on the group, have a listen to this week's Inside Melbourne podcast and listen to what Brayshaw says about him.

[Ron Burgundy 8,584]

Lewis was, and remains, a fantastic pick up for this club.

I love seeing him in the red and the blue. I hate reading some of the carp about him here.

We were super lucky to land the bloke. Especially given we traded a pack of stale Cheezels to get him.

Nice tribute video, check out his son singing Grand Old Flag at the end

Was about to post this. Also on YouTube so you can see as well as hear he sincerity when he speaks.

I’m not claiming to be his biggest fan but Lewis is not getting the appreciation and respect he deserves from many of our supporters. 

[Chook 15,001]

As good as it would be to see Nathan Jones hold up 1 finger after a Grand Final, it would be just as sweet to see Jordan Lewis hold up five.

It could be less than 3 months away. It could also never happen.

The challenge is there. Make history Demons.

[H_T 3,042]

Congratulations on a fantastic career to date and 300 games this weekend. Still another chapter to write to a decorated career! 

To think many here queried the 3 years contract, and frankly still do. Shame.

He hasn’t really disappointed in nearly 2 years - not just on the field - but the impact off the field for the Club among players and coaching group.

Great tribute. Glad his little bloke knows the words to the best team song in the AFL. ❤️?

 

[Little Goffy 14,163]

When he left Hawthorn he had played 12 years of football for 4 premierships.

Clearly he had done the maths when he signed a three-year contract.

Glad to have him at our club. Getting him was one of those moments that change the mood of the club, a little drop of medicine for MFCSS. And is Angus says he's priceless, that is good enough for me.
