Good. The impression was otherwise.

He isn't a Melbounre person. He's a media person. The same goes for Mike Sheahan.

I not sure public utterances about the Club from any of past ringleaders of the circus is appropriate or needed. There are enough precedents there with past Presidents and CEOs.

So to paraphrase...

He is a media person and part of his role is to discuss football matters publicly,

except about the MFC

even though he isn't a Melbourne person.

    LOL.

    And no other Club has been under AFL hypercare financial and resource support like MFC.

    I'll give you two. GWS and Gold Coast.

    Any other sweeping statements?

    G Lyon was Captain of the MFC for 7 years..he was not the ringleader of a circus..

    Show some respect you bitter little man...you really have been pouring it out today...

    Garry made some mistakes, he has admitted that but as a past CAPTAIN he is one who is entitled to speak his mind.

    If you do not want to listen...Turn it off.

    I'm not sure why there is so much anger towards Barrett.

    He's doing his job. If he didn't report on matters such as these events and Mondays decision on the PP, we'd be none the wiser.

    Keep up the good work, Damo..

    :P

    True to form. He is a media person that can speak about the Melbourne Football Club but should not speak on behalf of the Melbourne Football Club.

    They are start up clubs with a known development program. I wouldn't expect you to work that out.

    When did Lyon issue a statement on behalf of the club?

    I must say I have seen this thread on the home page feed since yesterday titled with the dou** b*gs name, and only now I chose to click it.

    I must say i can't stand him, I can't stand his voice, his glasses, and his co**y attitude, his reports and his allegedly intellectual input. I love hearing him get booo'ed when welcomed on the footy show and I can't wait for the day there is no more time for him in the vast world of football.

    Reading what the scum wrote about us in this weeks sliding doors makes my blood boil, we have poached brett Allison and Ben Mathews, both have connections to Roos, not sure how we are robbing other clubs of their assistants.

    Don't seem to remember a fuss when Essendon poached Wellman when he had just signed a contract with us.

    No! He would regard this as 'clever recruiting', since it was one of the 'power houses' that pulled it off.

    It certainly set as backwards, as Wellman was a competent coach.

    But as a cellar dweller trying to climb up a few steps, we'd be seen by Barrett as poachers.

    Names such as his need to be kept in the memory for retribution when we are again a successful club and can snub him for his past reporting crimes.

    Unfortunately that is just another blatant example of hypocritical reporting to an agenda. It is too prevalent.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
