Jarryd Lyons

Not sure if you're aware mate, but recruiting decisions aren't based on a Demonland consensus.

Shut down all posts that don't have a direct line to Paul Roos, Peter Jackson or Todd Viney.

My post is an OPINION ... get it !!!

Negative. Neanderthal. Need I continue.

Friend from work who knows Jarryd has told me that melbourne has met with him

Now this is interesting.......tells me he could be part of the Danger deal.

Pick 2 and 3 for Danger and Lyons.


i like that, do it

Not necessarily. We courted Lyons last year as well. It's only natural we'd caught him again as his situation hasn't really changed much and neither has ours. We still need more mids.

 

Could anyone see a Toumpas + our 4th round (59ish) for Lyons and their 2nd (30ish)?

No thankyou. Lyons is a good value pick up for around a 3rd rounder.

so many people writing off Toumpas

Hasnt been offered a contract yet although Adel have said hes required.

Just get him to walk to the Pre-Season Draft, although StK can stuff that up

Not writing Toumpas off - You've got to give something to get something.

He's not worth our 2nd round and hopefully our 3rd round is reserved for Stretch. Our fourth round will probably be too low at pick 60ish and we don't have many players with currency.

The deal I put forward is essentially Toumpas and steak knives for Lyon and a pick we can swap for Lumumba. Two top 25 players for one we barely saw in 2014. I'd certainly think about that deal (although I might be over-rating Lyon).

Haven't heard his name much this trade period

Has he re-signed with the Crows?

Are the Dees interested? Demonlanders seemed to be pretty keen last year and now he's available we've been pretty quiet.

Any news anyone?

PSD.

Source? or is it your gut feeling?

Haven't heard anything though

He should have taken the offer up from the Dees last year. Would have played a lot of footy with us this year and a lot midfield action.

I like the idea of picking him up in the PSD unless we already have someone else in mind (Frost?).

Goodwin has come out only last week to say categorically that Toumpas is not on the trade table and is part of Melbourne's forward plans!

Signed a 2 year contract with the Crows today.

Presumably now off the radar?

I'd say so. I'm not sure how on the radar he would've been anyway. Not when we'd have to trade something good to get him. Certainly now we have the first live PSD pick we'd be chasing anyone of quality we can find out of contract to tank their negotiations and come to us. But not before.

I did really like the idea of Lyons, particularly last year. But looking deeper I'm not convinced he'd offer us anything more than what injury free Riley and Michie should offer in 2015.

He's not tall, not fast, not particularly skilled nor is he that Nath Jones or Jack Viney level of inside ball winning animal. Riley might win a clearance or stick a tackle better than him, and Viv might take a mark or kick a goal better than him.

  • 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.
