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.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
