I cannot for the life of me understand why a person like Garry Lyon cops so much distaste and vitriol. So many screaming "get in there 100% or rack off". There are a lot of people on this forum who think they know what Lyon's skills are, and reckon he is wasting them in the media.

He will not coach because he has said repeatedly that he doesn't enjoy it, and doesn't have the attention to detail.

He will not enter the club at an official level because he hates club politics.

He will do his bit as a pinch-hitter when he is invited in - which has done.

He is not our Messiah.

The stuff he says about our pathetic club is some of the clearest, most concise and clear commentary across the media and we should be grateful that he is in the position he is in.

    ...he's done a pretty good job of the politics though protecting his mate.

    Who has he "protected"?

    And he get involved WHEN HE IS INVITED, not sticking his nose in.

    There was a major back flip after the Geelong game, he was involved in that. Not interested in the political side unless it suits like most things with Gary.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.
