    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

    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?

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
