Jake Lever points the finger against Hawthorn on Friday night.

"See that? Right there! He threw it!"

"Yeah .... so what?  In rugby you can do that."

"This is Aussie Rules, you dumb ***!!"

"Oh right ... feet only ... but you can head it. So ... is that guy the goalie?"

Lever was awesome. Cool calm and measured. hes back to his 2017 all Australian form if he keeps his form up.

While May was rusty with some of his disposal, it's so good to have a big monster down back who can take the big forwards. He will be vital for is in terms of leadership down if he stays fit.

Some of Lever's disposal was awry as well. Let's look at the final result instead of nitpicking every nuance. In the old days you went to the footy and enjoyed the spectacle as a visceral once only performance. These days every time a player scratches his head band or puts a finger in one nasal aperture and lets boogs fly from the other it's not only on camera but on replay then for years on You Tube afterwards. It's an imperfect game...

Lever and May together down back

Petracca in the middle and Fritsch forward

Langdon and Tomlinson on the wings

Jones forward, Lockhart back, a rejuvenated Viney and Melksham and Kozzie lurking in the pocket

There is actually a lot of significant differences to last years side.

Sorry DD, but 'All Australian squad' form.

Same thing. The fact that he was in the initial squad alone is an amazing achievement and shows what he's capable of.

Jeffy Garlett was in that squad too from memory.

And so he should have been: he played great games for us.

Also from memory, he did kick 40+ goals as a small forward that season.

I'm sure it's already been said elsewhere, but how good was it seeing him run right through Wingard

The kick in from May to Gawn from the goal square, which immediately led to Langdon sprinting down the wing and then delivering it to Fristch, who converted skillfully on his left, was great to watch - but, on so many levels, it also represented the significant difference between this season and last.

That so many industry observers and commentators (most notably The Roar) fail to recognise these differences surprises me. Injuries permitting, we should definitely be in the mix this year. And a critical factor in this will be the May and Lever partnership - both of whom I’m hoping will be in the AA conversation by the end of this season.

I reckon they’ll both prove themselves to be fantastic recruits for this club.

I think 'balance' is the key to the 2020 team with most of the side now able to play in positions they are now suited to

It’s Leigh Fisher in the pic. If that’s his grasp on the rules it might explain the fairly premature end to his playing career!

Ha ha Yeah that may be getting a little carried away but good to see 'Tickets' & May show some solid form nevertheless.....Just hope they both stay injury free as that will be a major factor in our success.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

    It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

    The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

    The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
