It's actually Garry Lyon

Ummm yeah I know that's what I said. I'll make it bigger so you can see the added r and struck through S

It's Garry Lyons.

I admit the bold on the second R didn't work so well. Let's move on.

    Sorry found the strike out on the s hard to see with my aged eyes.

    Dawes has been okay. Not terrific by any means.

    Hopefully he'll be able to get on the park for most of next year alongside Clark and Hogan and THEN maybe he will be terrific.

    I was driving through Richmond today and saw Dawes getting out of his car near Lennox Street. Looked to be moving very smoothly. Just thought I better report in.

    I was outside his house and saw him banging his mrs and he didnt seem to be moving badly, Just hoping he doesn't pull a calf with his maneuvers

    In all seriousness I hope he and Mitch can stay fit this season

    Clarks one injury away from retirement

    Every footballer is one injury away from retirement.

    (BTW, there's an apostrophe in there … Clark's. e.g. "MJT's one obnoxious post away from being banned" is very different from "MJTS one obnoxious post from being banned".)

    LOL

    Don't tell me you mean the second one!

    12 games for 12 goals.

    Will the Pain I am in over supporting such a bad AFL team ever stop?

    How many goals has Paul Roos kicked for the Dees?

    You think Garry was railroaded?

    he certainly went off the tracks for a bit there...

    Gary Lyons was a classic example of this! I hope that we don't have to endure another season of Lyons selecting against Melbourne every week in his footy tipping (serving to drive our player's morale lower than it deserved)!

    I would hope that our players were professional enough not to be demoralized by one person's tipping, especially one with such an enviable record on coach selection!

    I don't understand how fans can bag players for having injuries. Dawes has been terrific.

    I shudder to think how much worse the player moral and professionalism would have been during the season if we didnt have Chris Dawes

    the man is worth very penny

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

    • 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.
