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

    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?

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.
