Surely he’s worth it as a delisted free agent... 

 

He got delisted by the suns there must be something seriously wrong with him. No from me. Give me Partington or Karpany.

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

I think our 2013 VFL midfield would have given them a run for their money.

Craig Cameron came out and said 'we couldn't guarantee him a spot as we have young talent we need to get games into'.

Sound familiar?

Marty Lyons..can anyone confirm-I think he wore Number 29?

cant remember but do remember that he was clever, well balanced and a natural footballer. Probably a bit slow.

one of those players, that later you say, whatever happened to ...........

but we had a lot of players in that period that seemed to have the goods but did not go on. 

Thx Hemingway. Just checked on Demonwiki - he wore No 12. 1975-77 was cleared back to Sandringham and eventually played in a premiership and then later coached their Reserves.

I want to know how in the hell this was approved by the AFL.

If the player is delisted, he should be in the draft.  That hasn't happened yet. 

Every other club should have had a chance to draft him.

Or has the trade period now been extended to 365 days a year!

Delisted players have become delisted free agents for a number of years now, quite rightly so. If you're cut from one team you deserve the chance to restart your career at the club of your choice.

The only issue here is Lyons was delisted with a year to run on his contract but the AFL were satisfied it was a mutual agreement between Lyons and GC to delist him.

No 12

but unlikely to play many minutes in a midfield that now contains Anthony Miles and George Horlin-Smith,”

wow! That’s who’s keeping him out of the midfield in 2019?

  • REPORT: North Melbourne

    I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

  • CASEY: Werribee

    The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

  • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

    The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
