    Time to get Jordan Lewis into the coaching role.

    I didn't think he was at his worst, but there were a couple of turnovers that didn't help - the no look handpass to Grundy for the goal wasn't great but nor did he drop his head either. Our backline is just looking really solid right now.

    Wouldn’t listen to Garry Lyon to much, we have to win by over a hundred points for him to give us any credit

    Agree.  Lever was average. Good spoils. One good mark. One missed tackle.  Two bad turnovers that cost goals.   Had a good last 3 weeks but today was “not his best”

    I agree with all except Jones.  He had a good game.  Effective with the footy.  Tackled hard.  Noble and Daicos won’t be saying he is slow.

    Yeah I liked them all but I thought Jones made some real important contributions at times.

    Agree with all bar Jones and Harmes.

    Jones - a steadying influence

    Harmes - form slump continues

    Jones is not slow just old, he has never been slow, it's a known fact every demon player is 29% slower then the average AFL player.

    Expectations give him a key role on the backline, demanding a larger territory in which to intercept and dispose of the ball. He is not as strong in such roles; he needs to start off in the back pocket/half back flank area where the range of the roaming role is more constrained; thus, his interceptions and run-on to play (as a play maker) can be done without interim periods of exhaustion or late arrival,  getting to the contest and/or reading the play as a more defenders concentrate at the location of the incoming ball. Ping! He's there, he's got the ball, he has disposed of the ball, he is reading ongoing play as he returns back to his 'nest'. Reduce the area of responsibility, increase the effectiveness of his disposal and his chipping-in to the turnover.

    Tomlinson reminds me of a Neeld-era player. Can't see it.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
