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.

     

    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.

    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.

    • 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.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
