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!!

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
