I really appreciate the club for doing this. Even though Zoom isn't an ideal platform for something like this, it was good of the club to stick to their word and run this again for members after start

I enjoyed the part where he did an assessment of himself being a difficult match up for opponents on the wing, considering his height, endurance and speed. Verbatim - "put a normal sized winger o

Do you not think Jordan lewis is a quality person with something to offer? 

His playing days at Melbourne consisted of a whole lot of shirking contests and responsibility. 300 games means he’ll have something to offer but I’d rather an experienced qualified coach who has a commitment to the club. If Lewis’ is just going to hang around over summer before resuming media duties I don’t see that as value for money.

shirking contests and responsibility?

Jordan Lewis copped one of the biggest hits I’ve ever seen on a footy field going back with the flight of the ball. He nearly had his head taken off his shoulders. You don’t play 300 games and win 4 flags by shirking contests and responsibility.

His indiscipline and stupid 50 metres penalties got on my nerves. But I never doubted his courage or commitment.

He was part of a great club and team. And worked with Oze. If the club think he has something to contribute then I’m all for his involvement.

Dont agree, thought he commanded things in a few wins that helped make the finals. Not everyone has to go for the same ball, Melb midfield style.At Hawthorn when winning premierships some went for the ball, others did off ball work, some ran forward to space, some ran back to defend.

Caught the last 10 minutes or so as they were going through the Q&A and I have to say - big props and hats off to the club for doing this and engaging the supporters in this way. Thought the Q&A might be a bit awkward and clumsy but it was really quite succinct and professionally managed – I really enjoyed seeing other Dees supporters in front of their screens knowing they were as passionate as me and not complete fruit loops. I’m sure the club carefully selected the questions but they were queries I’ve heard a lot about on this site so they haven’t shied away and it appears they might have made some ‘learnings’ along the way - only time will tell I guess.

Love this club and it was nice hearing from the people entrenched within it that they are working as hard as I hope they are. Go Dees.

l was invited to read out my question on zoom and was happy to do so. l. believe the club chose me on the basis that my question followed a common theme of interest. Having a succinct question and being a 25 year member may also have helped

What does Lewis have to do with quality people? No idea why we keep topping up his superfund 

Lewis is a quality person, end of story. Anything he can help us with in improving is welcomed.

Think you will find he is doing quite well in retirement, with media work and an interest in a winery. 

Also, he won't be getting paid much for a part time coaching role in the off season.

Having played over 300 games and in 4 premierships, puts him ahead of every player on our list.

Apparently, as I understand it, he played in the midfield of a successful team at one point. Let me google him to be sure.

Perhaps, maybe, may I posit, that his experience, skill, and his personal relationships with current Demons may make him a better candidate for a position than, say, other superfund topping up old guys?

No idea why my post was deleted but still keen to see your psychology degree on your Goodwin views, and to be fair to Jordan I think he has more to offer an AFL club that you do to this forum, but that’s just me.

I think you are just trying to Break my balls.

Of course Jordan lewis has more to offer than me regarding football.. He is a 4 times Premiership player. 

Why would you say you are still keen to see my psycology degree when I said I havent got one and this is an anonmymous site? Very odd.

And whats your post being deleted hot to do with me?

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
