Just how lucky are we to have Jake Lever at the Melbourne Football Club?

His clutch one on one contest wins and strong on field leadership were crucial in his great game against the Hawks:

- 19 disposalsĀ 

- 13 marks

- 10 interceptsĀ 

- 3 score involvementsĀ 

- 6 pressure actsĀ 

- 322m gainedĀ 

... and 96 per cent game time. The most in the team.

    Love the pod guys-one of the highlights of the week for mine.

    My 2 points for this week that I would be interested to get your thoughts on:

    1) Surely Melksham has cemented his spot for the rest of the season regardless of whether Fritsch, TMac or Grundy play again. He used to cop heat for putting on no defensive pressure and only being an offensive minded player who was ineffectual when the opposition had the ball but the roles he has played this year nullifying the oppositions intercept marker has been a great transformation in his game and important going forward for the team.

    2) Tomlinson although having his colours lowered yesterday is also a lock for mine. Plays a sacrificial role and allows lever to do what he does best. On Brownlow night when Lever gets the 3 votes for yesterdays game he can thank Tomo for that.

    When Hawthorn beat Collingwood recently, there were great wraps placed on Mitch Lewis, Jai Newcombe, Chad Wingard and of course James Sicily.

    I'd like to hear the panel's view of Melbourne's performance yesterday in light of the fact that three of their star players from that game were missing - out injured.

    I would love a 5 minute rant from @binman re the AFL and they way they have handled the whole ARC review and umpires calls disaster.Ā 

    What is going to happen when this occurs in a big finals match ?

    I thought it was interesting that we took off Tomlinson given the game was still tight. Can we go go into the finals without him? I feel heā€™s an important player as he can take a key forward and free up Lever.

    What is with our slow starts. Earlier on in the year we were one of the best first quarter teams. Why is it now taking 30 minutes to switch on?Ā

    Milkshake has become one of our most important players. Kicks goals (should have had 5 yesterday) and his shut down role on the oppositions best rebounding / marking defender has been key. Do the panel think we could play a forward line of Smith, Fritch, Melksham and JVR as the only real tall? I do not think Tmac, having missed so much footy both this year and last year will be the hero a lot of supporters are pinning there hopes on.

    Andy, I just heard you say that we haven't put four quarters together in 2023, where in 2021 we did.

    I'd love to know which game we played four quarters in. We didn't even manage 3 great quarters in the GF. Maybe the prelim against Geelong and the Brisbane QF. Prior to finals though, I don't recall us putting together 4 quarters.

    Maybe that first Bulldogs game in 2021.

    Suns game? Adelaide late in the year? Have no stats in front of me.

    Maybe the Suns game, but the Adelaide game was a complete slog, where we banged on late goals to get it out to 7. Fritta went berserk.

    And haha love the multi tasking.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0ā€“5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win ā€” something they havenā€™t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, theyā€™ll need to exorcise the Demons of last yearā€™s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?

    • FEATURE: 1925

      ļ»æA hundred years ago today, on 2 May 1925, Melbourne kicked off the new season with a 47 point victory over St Kilda to take top place on the VFL ladder after the opening round of the new season.Ā  Top place was a relatively unknown position for the team then known as the ā€œFuchsias.ā€ They had finished last in 1923 and rose by only one place in the following year although the final home and away round heralded a promise of things to come when they surprised the eventual premiers Essendon. That victory set the stage for more improvement and it came rapidly. In this series, I will tell the story of how the 1925 season unfolded for the Melbourne Football Club and how it made the VFL finals for the first time in a decade on the way to the ultimate triumph a year later.
