I just watched it, he and Garry didn't really say anything that we haven't already been saying on Demonland all year

they look to us for inspiration

Lyon was spot on as per usual. Understands exactly where we've improved and what our issues are....so glad that he mentioned skill level. I'm so tired of people rattling on about game plans and effort, neither of them matter if you can't handball 5 metres to a target and kick to position when you get it. We need classy and quick mids, and lots of them.

It was interesting to hear Garry talk in this case. It makes you wonder how he could have bloody chosen Neeld as coach when he shows this level of insight. He was dead right on the delistings and where we fall short (skills). He was dead right as well on the lowlight while DB made some idiotic joke about Vince's haircut.

Barrett just spouted off conventional football wisdom. I love Nate Jones but actually do some analysis, Purple. Nate has been up for 4 years running now. You aren't telling us anything new by saying he is our shining light. Some of the shutdown jobs Nev Jetta has done on some small forwards have been sensational.

What insight?

Blind freddie can see we have terrible skills. Any chump would have nominated the Giants game as our lowlight, that's not exactly 'insightful'. Picking out Blease and Strauss to be delisted is also obvious.

I'll give him credit for pointing out Jetta but that's where any 'insight' ended.

I wouldn't go that far. Most punters on the street wouldn't know half our problems. We know as we watch them every week but most run of the mill media types wouldn't know. Just see what Damo said.

Agree 'titan'

Lyon and insight are polar opposites, in fact that goes for a lot of the football media.

I thought there was 1 game left

and no way im listening to a thing that acne scarred loser Damian Barrett says

Lovely. Do you know what DL posters look like? What I might look like?

Can you please focus on DB's argument or lack thereof? Then he can legitimately be shown for the half-wit he is.

It was a reasonable appraisal for a side that has won 4 games, 66%, lost last 10 games (likely) and been humbled by fellow strugglers. GWS will get better as will the Dogs. hard to see us getting above 16th next year.

Get the footies out in November and go for skills skills and skills all summer

Holy [censored] Barrett is an absolute pea brain..

Love the bit where he says 'the body of work is what you base these things on'. Basically meaning Tyson has had one good year and questioning whether or not he'll be a future star yet somehow he knows Kelly 'is going to be an absolute superstar, lock that in'.

Completely contradicted himself in that section.

Christ I hate the guy.

Just heard Jones on SEN. The bloke is a legend a mans man and its great to have a player who leads from the front like Nietz did. I just hope he takes it one step further and breaks the premiership drought!

What most posters in D/L failed to understand is not how did garry make the neeld choice.

But WHO let garry make that choice for the football club.

Its one of the great unanswered questions.Just who gave us the idea to let garry make the choice.and how did the whole board agree to it.

    POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    The Demons are back in the hunt for finals after a clinical victory over the West Coast Eagles at the MCG which was sealed after bursting out of the blocks with a seven goal to one first quarter.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs West Coast

    It’s game day and the Demons return to Melbourne to play the Eagles at the MCG for the first time in over a decade. A win keeps the Dees finals hopes alive whereas a loss will almost certainly slam the finals window shut.

    CROSSROADS by The Oracle

    Melbourne stands at the crossroads.  Sunday’s game against the West Coast Eagles who have not met the Demons at the MCG in more than ten years, is a make or break for the club’s finals aspirations.  That proposition is self-evident since every other team the club will be opposed to over the next eight weeks of footy is a prospective 2024 finalist. To add to this perspective is the fact that while the Demons are now in twelfth position on the AFL table, they are only a game and a half b

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well
