Just been delisted by the suns.

If you're wanting inside midfield depth then i would personally give Lyons a crack. Rate him better then Sheridan or Weller as he actually had some good numbers this year until surprisingly dropped.

    Cannot believe they have cut him. 

    I dont think he is suited to our team, but gee wiz he would have been handy for them this year.

    Another who fell out with Dew. A very good footballer with close ties to the Dees. Snap him up.

    Unless there are other issues at play surely there'll be a few clubs lined up for him. I'd say we'd be low on the list given he plays in an area of our strength, but I'd be very happy for him to come in as depth. Seems a strange move from the Suns, maybe there are issues with Dew?

    Would know Jake Lever and been with May and Kolo for the past couple of years. Maybe those boys can have a chat with him? 

    We are a different proposition now. A destination club going places. Very attractive one would think.

    We tried to get him over from Adelaide at least twice.  We may have gone past him now but he’d be an upgrade on JKH, Wagner and Stretch.

    finally a delisted player worth targetting adds good depth

    Could be handy depth but he doesn't play the same role as any of these players.

    I would much prefer him in the team as opposed to Maynard though.

    Logical.

    With the worst midfield I think I have ever seen, surely Dew could have got more use out of Lyons and Barlow in particular

    Could be an absolute bargain....

    Agree.

    Replaces Tyson, but with better disposal and higher numbers. 3rd in AFL for clearances and 9 th for contested possession.

    Also costs no draft pick. 

    Could be a very handy pickup.

    Why the hell was he cut from the Suns? Legitimately would've been one of their top 5-10 players at this point I would've thought!

    "Lyons averaged almost 25 disposals a game last season and was ranked equal-third in the AFL for clearances (7.3) and ninth for contested possessions (13.6)".

    We were keen on him a few years ago. He'd be good depth and is a proven performer. Definitely the pick of the bunch as far as delisted players goes.

    Lions have done well lately other than losing Beams. This is another bonus for them.

    If people are posting news like Lyons' three year deal, would you mind linking to a source, so it lends your post more credence? Thanks.

    And FWIW, Lyons is the perfect depth player for us. He's not A grade, but he doesn't have obvious weaknesses either (unlike Townsend).

    You really do need to make your mind up, during the season you have players who are not A graders as list cloggers

    How many inside mids do you want, we were confident enough to offload Dom Tyson

    Must have been delisted for a reason

    AFL website is reporting to Brisbane

    Hi Saty. How are you going?

    I've never used the term list clogger in my posting days, so don't be too sensitive. I had Kent and Bugg on the fringe and have been on record as saying Bugg would go. He did.

    I'm not going to play the man here, so I'll merely say we were confident enough to offload Tyson because we could get a much cheaper replacement and at the same time, land Preuss in the deal. Tyson was most likely a salary cap dump.

    Thanks for the source on the Lyons trade.

    Yep I agree A huge upgrade on Dom Tyson smart player and if I'm correct, son of ex Demon Marty Lyons who was an excellent player! If my memory serves me correctly Marty Lyons kicked 4 on debut vs Hawks at Princess Park.

    Yep GO FOR HIM!!

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
