Thank God he is a gun footballer because he is a very poor and cringeworthy media performer. 

AFL 360 should boot Lewis off and replace him with TMac.

I like Lewis on 360. 

He has won four flags. TMac has time on his side, but there is a media career waiting for sure

    It makes sense to me. Whilst I enjoy Jack Viney's leadership on the track, I think he is pretty average in front of a camera. And by pretty average I actually mean quite poor. With all due respect, he doesn't have the tools to be able to reflect on questions and answer them meaningfully without repeating the same old cliches like a broken record. Tmac on the other hand is extremely well spoken, and I wouldn't be surprised to see him follow the post-career media personality route as many before him in recent history. 

    Re: him not being leadership group, I think it would have come down to him or Nev. Both were excellent and deserving options. 

    As much as it is a contemporary footy cleché, you don't have to be in the official leadership group to be a leader and I think Mc Donald fits this.  Having such and mature level head to anchor our forward line up one end and likewise in Steve May, Nev and Hibbo up back is a great thing.

    So out of a 360 team which includes Robbo, Gerard Wheatly and Jack Riewoldt - you think Lewis is cringeworthy and should be booted off?

    No..

    If you go back and read it properly you would know it was a quote in regards to Viney who i said was a cringeworthy media performer, but lucky that he is a bloody good footballer as he does his best work on field.

    Lewis will be in and out of the side this year. Best to focus on that and give the opportunity to Tmac as a weekly panelist on 360.

    Yeah, ok.  Understand.

    Will be interesting to see if 360 do stick with Lewis or pass the baton elsewhere as you suggest.

    Whilst I think there are other Melbourne guys like T Mac as you suggest and Max who would go quite well in this type of role, I think Lewis does it quite well and I'm happier for him to do it and let the others just focus on footy for now.

    I actually also quite like Lewis on 360, he shoots pretty straight, says something when it's actually worth saying and doesn't come across like an attention seeker like Jack Riewoldt.

    I agree as well that Lewis is good on 360. Just feel though that it would look awkward on him if he's a panelist whos playing VFL footy if he can't squeeze in at times.

    Riewoldt is just an A grade genuine [censored].

    Tommy Mac used to go out with a young woman who was a friend of a woman who used to work for me. 

    Six degrees of separation.

    We are in good hands for leaders with the official Leadership Group plus Tom Mac Stephen May Jake Lever plus Hibbo Melkshake who all ooze knowledge and leadership and act as leaders also.

    Happy for Lewy to grace AFL for this year even if he misses occasionally the AFL and to keep Slobbo in check!!

    Yes TMac interviews wonderfully!

    It’s been shown for years that players play worse after guesting on a tv show, therefor I prefer Lewis remain on AFL360 instead of one of our others.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.
