Maybe it's the two devastating finals losses we dealt the blues during his reign.

Those were the days.

    Seriously, I can't remember the last time this bloke said anything positive about the club. He seems to just...hate us.

    Tonight on AFL 360 it was questioned as to why Lyon would turn down a coaching role at Melbourne to go to the other side of the country. It was as though someone had shoved a lemon in his mouth. He basically considered Fremantle's list to be light years ahead of ours and it was incomprehensible that someone would choose to coach at Melbourne over Fremantle.

    Another example: several weeks ago Parkin visited Arden Street to lend his advice to the Kangaroos for a few days. Attended trainings, coaching meetings etc. The question was raised as to which clubs he had provided some form of coaching assistance voer the years. Melbourne was the only Victorian club he hadn't helped out at some stage.

    Perhaps I'm reading too much into it but I was wondering if anyone knew of us whizzing in this guy's cereal at some stage. Really irks me, cause I otherwise respect his opinion and god knows we could use a brain like his at the moment.

    David Parkin is a serious Melbourne supporter.He says that is who he barracks for as that is who he barracked for as a child.Maybe he is just as angry as all melb supporters

    • 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.
