May and Lever - Best Defenders in Last 20 Years?

May's 2020 might've just pipped Frawley's best season given he provided a lot of rebound (with the occasional odd decision).

Nev Jetta 2014-2018 might be one of the best runs we've had of consistently good footy.

Clearly the time is now for Lever to start producing quality footy. 

I'm excited to see what Salem, Rivers and Bowey can do as a trio if we can get them all in the same backline and working together. In 2018 we had Hibberd, Lewis and Salem all playing well together and whilst the talls and the system broke down at times it was a nice feeling to know that apart from a bit of Frostball more times than not we wouldn't butcher it from half back.

    Hopefully they can keep the good work up, liked May's long kicking today too

    Love them both but Level is still too unreliable with the ball and I want to see them do it against a team with even a single solid tall forward. They should clean up next week against the Saints again too.

    • 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.
