Lewis is now in the role he should have been in last year.

 

This is why Lewis was bought in. So i hope he is speaking his mind (he has no reason not to) he is not the type to speak “puff” news

2020 is all about the mindset, if the list is fit and available.

Interesting point. You may well be right, but with injuries the way they were, i am glad he stuck it out. 
 

i think he will a great coach, why? Because he never shirked a tough game in his prime. He mostly instigated the toughness. 
Jordan was always proactive 

We need more of that to win the serious games

We knew the third year was a gift when we got him for peanuts. As it turned out it was great as we lacked fit bodies and leadership.

Yes i said it at the time. The third year was the bonus. 
It has given us a Premiership Player who wants to Coach his knowledge 

This may well be his greatest asset for us

Fully agreed, and I still believe that he could be a great coach for the Dees, in tandem ( a double-sided sword) with Yze. What a footballing combination of talent, experience, mentoring and know-how.

 

Jeez, for a moment there I thought the thread title read "Jordan Lewis Selling Dope".  Carry on.

About as convincing as the leadership he sold us for 3 years. 


The only parallel i see between Hawthorn's 2009 and Melbourne's 2019 was that both sides missed the finals after making it the year before, and had off season surgeries.

Hawthorn were in the hunt for finals all year in 2009 but lost to Essendon in the last round to just miss. Our season was over by round 3.

So you see more parallels than to the contrary then. Thats good news I guess.

Exactly the same but different


My dog has a lump on his balls usually in odd years.Then he chews on his sack and it disappears for about 12 months then re-appears about 12 months later (in an odd year).

I've noticed the MFC is following a fairly similar trajectory if you take into account 1964,1988,2000 and 2016.

I think the club should employ my dog as an advisor.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
