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 disposals 

- 13 marks

- 10 intercepts 

- 3 score involvements 

- 6 pressure acts 

- 322m gained 

... 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. 

    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 he’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? 

  • Quote

    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.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
