MELBOURNE veteran Jordan Lewis has bristled at questions about his playing future after his disastrous display in the Demons' finals flop against West Coast.

Lewis wasn't alone in having a day to forget against the Eagles, but he has come in for stinging criticism in the wake of the 66-point preliminary final drubbing at Optus Stadium.

He was undisciplined at times – he copped a $2,500 fine for misconduct on Liam Ryan – and was also guilty of turning the ball over by hand in dangerous positions.

THE MOMENT Jordy's blunder sets the tone

Lewis, a four-time premiership player with Hawthorn, finished with 18 possessions, five clangers and a disposal efficiency of 66.7 per cent.

The 32-year-old was asked about speculation over his future on his regular appearance on Fox Footy's AFL 360 on Tuesday night.

"I'm contracted and I'm playing ... I've had a meeting with Goody (coach Simon Goodwin)," Lewis replied.

"The game on the weekend I didn't play my best but if you look at the year that I've had I think I've actually played quite well.

"I had a slow start to the season then throughout the year played some solid football in a position that I've never played before.

"I can understand why people write it, and that's probably why they remain relevant in the media, but for me it's no skin off my nose.

"It does not worry me.

"I don't know who you're referring to or who wrote the article but if they saw me they wouldn't tell me that to my face."

It's unclear who Lewis was taking aim at, although Richmond spearhead and fellow panel member Jack Riewoldt cautioned ex-players "to be more careful with some of their commentary around retiring players early."

Former Port Adelaide champion Kane Cornes was particularly scathing in his assessment of Lewis' performance.

"It was the worst game of footy I've seen Jordan Lewis play," Cornes said on The Round So Far.

"He'd be really disappointed and probably thinking 'Should I go on next year with these performances, not just (against the Eagles), but across the board this year.

"What will he add on-field to Melbourne next year?"

Melbourne's players completed their exit meetings on Tuesday, with Tomas Bugg, Cam Pedersen, Pat McKenna, Mitch King and rookie Lochie Filipovic all delisted, joining retirees Bernie Vince and Harley Balic in departing the club.

As far as he's concerned, Lewis won't be joining them.

"I don't know what you look at to try and finish a player," he said.

"But if you look at GPS numbers, you look at disposals, you look at all this other stuff ... they're nearly the best they've ever been.

"For me it's a non-issue and I don't even know why people are talking about it."
