We have no leaders in our back six. We have Frost and OMac who spend a lot of time looking like they don't know what they're doing. At times we've had Hore, KK and J Wagner down there who weren't part of our winning team last year and are either new to the game or new to our system. And we have Hibberd and Jetta who are nowhere near in form.

All of that means I think we'd benefit, significantly, from having Lewis in the backline.

Isnt Jetta in our leadership group? i get the out of form part.. but he was put in because he is a leader. Love Nev but he aint doing much leading, neither is Max and neither is Jones. 

Spirit is lacking, we dont have what teh Lions have, we dont have what the Dogs have, we dont even have what teh Suns have and yet we made a prelim final last year.

 

Jordan Lewis is not the difference.. and if we think he is we are doomed.

    Lewis is absolutely not the play he once was, but with no runners on the ground and our general lack of experience and leadership he may well be more important on the ground then ever.

    good point and correct he will be a help with that aspect, but the fact we need him to be that person is an indictment on our coaches and our senior leadership team.

    I don't care who holds the title of being a "leader" because they're in the leadership group. I care about those who actually assist our younger players when they're out there on game day.

    Lewis, for all his weaknesses, does that, and right now I think we need his ability to guide the headless chooks we have out there.

    The guy we really seem to be missing is the one in the pink clothes who was always running around giving out good advice.

    "If you get between the ball and your opponent, defending is much easier"

    "Stand over there, somewhere near your opponent. It will help."

    "See how your opponent is always getting his hands on the ball? Now you try it."

    "Now try getting it to another Melbourne player. You can kick OR handpass it. Your choice! If you can get it to one who is on his own, that's even better."

    That guy was really good. I wonder what ever happened to him?

    The wisdom is missing at the moment. Love the fundamental approach, coz it ain't no good being where the ball ain't. There are certain triggers in our game that our players struggle to identify so a fella like that (despite the pink) is a good investment.

    When Lewis arrived, I just saw 'Coach' in my mind. He'd be terrific at that for the MFC.

    When's he due back?

    Sydney, St Kilda or Richmond?

    He can only be hidden in the small confines of the SCG.

    Otherwise for me, farewell game v. Hawks.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      The Gold Coast Suns find themselves outside of the top eight for the first time since Round 1 with pressure is mounting on the entire organisation. Their coach Damien Hardwick expressed his frustration at his team’s condition last week by making a middle-finger gesture on television that earned him a fine for his troubles. He showed his desperation by claiming that Fox should pick up the tab.  There’s little doubt the Suns have shown improvement in 2025, and their position on the ladder is influenced to some extent by having played fewer games than their rivals for a playoff role at the end of the season, courtesy of the disruption caused by Cyclone Alfred in March.  However, they are following the same trajectory that hindered the club in past years whenever they appeared to be nearing their potential. As a consequence, that Hardwick gesture should be considered as more than a mere behavioral lapse. It’s a distress signal that does not bode well for the Queenslanders. While the Suns are eager to remain in contention with the top eight, Melbourne faces its own crisis, which is similarly deep-seated but in a much different way. After recovering from a disappointing start to the season and nearing a return to respectability among its peer clubs, the Demons have experienced a decline in status, driven by the fact that while their form has been reasonable (see their performance against the ladder leader in the Kings Birthday match), their conversion in front of goal is poor enough to rank last in the competition. Furthermore, their opponents find them exceptionally easy to score against. As a result, they have effectively eliminated themselves from the finals race and are again positioned to finish in the bottom half of the ladder.
