    Where did you hear that?

    It's not what's on record:

    “They asked us to come out publicly support it and as a playing group, we said no. When you’ve got great Melbourne people sitting here saying this is going to happen, you almost get a sense of inevitability given where we were at.”

    Gary made his choice to go into the media, he has the benefit of zero accountability. The moment he did anything that he did have accountability for our club, he gave us Neeld. 

    I would have him as a consultant or part time forward line coach but nothing more.

    One of the smartest footy brains out there?

    Seriously?

    Yes Binman by a long shot 

    Listen to his comments on Fox during the game and on On the Couch 

    Well ahead of most by far  in those forums and should be hired for Game  day and pre game tactics and selections To assist the Selection  and Match Cttees.

    Our match day moves are non existent and a disgrace to a Senior Coaching group.

    Get him off easy street in the media to have a crack at this pile of rabbits droppings of a club

    If he gives two hoots he’ll have a crack, apparently was brilliant coaching the all stars back in the day.

    Has a fantastic footy brain & a brilliant captain of the club

    Unless we can get Clarko ?

    ?Lyon is a [censored]! He only says things to get a headline.

    Sorry 58er he is a joke as a football analyst and commentator. A joke.

    Who knows might be a good bloke (I went to school with him and he was a [censored], but he might have changed), and was s champion footballer.

    But he is clueless about the modern game. Does not understand tactics, systems  strategies  how zones work  re list goes on and on.

    He is a typical ex champion footy player who dominate footy media who think football stopped evolving the day they retired.

    And collectively this grumpy of knuckle heads is a big reason why so many football fans are equally clueless about how the game is acttually played.

    And ironically all you have to do to understand how rubbish Lyon is at his job is listen to him during the game, post game and on On the Couch. 

    I rate slobbo more highly as

    He famously said he was in favour of the merger out of loyalty to "Tiger" ( Ian Ridley ) .

    Wow I’m extremely disappointed with the posters hatred towards a club great & great leader.

    This is a forum, to put ideas out there, Gary Lyon imo has a great football brain has a hard edge about him & could be a great coach,

    If not head coach he may be interested as a forward line coach, who knows without asking

    • 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.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • 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.
