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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
