Don't disagree - but for whatever reason, he's often a really poor decision maker once he gets it.

Possibly  simply the difference  in pace and pressure of Bigboys v magoos. He just seems to undo a lot of reasonable work with half baked disposals.  A shame

    Lever has cost us 3 goals. Can't kick or play one on one. 

    ...... but other than that he has some good traits

    Can’t beleive we payed 2 first rounders for Lever. Is constantly in no mans land.

    You don't have to, because in the total trade, we didn't.

    But carry on.

    You obviously missed where he turned the ball over and cost us a goal. JKH no future at all

    Name one of his teammates who hasn’t done that this season.

    The pattern of starting Jones (as wing) and then having him shuffle across to CHB, whilst the HBF moves to between CHB and the centre circle is very pretty; doesn’t do any good of course.

    Similar to Stretch in that regard. I sometimes think (hope ...) that with these kinds of players it'll come with experience, but not the case so far with either of them.

     

    Was nice to see a clean centre clearance


    JKH been good in close, played well so far apart from that one bad turn over. If you want to write him off for a mistake like that send most of this team on their way as well.

    We would be as close to par with the current Pies forward line as you are ever likely to see in this team's generation coach and they blew us away in 20 minutes of bog ordinary footy.

    If you wish to delude yourself that everything will be fine because a year date will change on a calender that is your prerogative.

    Oscar into the ruck and HF?  What  possible benefit / message is that sending the rest of the playing group?

    I know what i would be thinking.

    Maybe we should rename ourselves the Melbourne Excuses?  How about the DumbAzzes?  The Rabbles?

    I’m as annoyed as you rusty about where we sit however your shotgun approach to the issue may not be as effective as you think in correcting the situation.

    How the [censored] is that advantage. Maynard stood still. It needs to be ‘flowing’

    Jones FMD !

    You pick up only on his turnovers. 

    I don't get it. 

    Yes, he most definitely needs to tidy up his kicking at times but think about how many goals or opportunities at goal he has saved by either making a genuine killer spoil, intercept marking or out-bodying his opponent to mark. 

    Lever has been very very good this game aside from a few kicking blunders. 

    Yes he has done sone good tgings. As he should given his ability and paycheck.

    But a very, very good game?

    We must have different metrics for a defender. Has cost us 4 goals in s low scoring game we are down by 3 goals. 


    Endeavour was promising in the first quarter, although the goal kicking was the same rubbish. Then it went back to handpasses to no one, gifting the opposition easy marks, not holding tackles. Varcoe did nothing until that ball fell in his hands courtesy of a bad Melbourne kick. Poor umpiring as per usual. Grrrrrrrrr.....?

    someone give the Maggots a tape measure fff

    Baker coming back on heavily strapped

    You need to watch more closely. 

    He most certainly hasn't cost us four. 

    Maybe concentrate on Oscar. Did you see his turning circle just then?

    Disgusting lack of pressure. I’m over watching us do the same [censored] every week. 

     

    This is just too tragic to keep watching. 

    I’m out.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
