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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • 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.
