The clubs get to suggest to the AFL someone present the cup if we win.

It has to be someone already in WA.  Fox's ideas.

  • Garry Lyon - club great
  • Shane Woewodin - 2000 Brownlow medallist; played in our last GF.
  • Ken Melville 1953 Bluey winner.  played in 1955 and 1956 premierships
  • Adam Yze - played in our last GF
  • Glen Bartlett - immediate past President
  • Kate  Roffey - current President

On premiership credentials Ken Melville would get the nod.  He is 90 and if able I think is the one.

Otherwise Garry would be my choice.

    the dream would be if barassi AND daniher both come out after the final siren (after being smuggled over the border) and the crowd loses its [censored]. that'd be too much.

    After all of the Neeld stuff and distancing himself from the club afterwards, I'd have felt weird about Lyon presenting it if we won. But after seeing him in the rooms after the prelim, it feels more right.

    Paul Roos and Daniher

    In a quirk of fate, Roos was due to present the Jock McHale medal but couldn't get to WA.

    I thought AFL announced that whoosha will be presenting the cup and embley presenting the norm smith medal

    Woosha is the Jock McHale Medal.

    I didn't want it to be Lyon but i mean Mark Neeld can present it if we win it for all i care.

    In 2018 and earlier this season i had pictured Barassi and Danniher as a duo doing it. I also pictured winning it in a packed MCG.

    Lyon is logical choice as he is in WA. I think Gary has shown some humility the last few weeks on fox and is self aware enough to not

    Ive never heard of Ken Melville but if hes able id love it to be him, a sort of passing on the batten from the last successful era to a new one.

    Simple logistics will say Garry Lyon.

    Its a lock Daz, only media identity to get an exemption over to WA.

    As soon as it was mention on his show On the Couch i knew it was a lock.

    It's going to be Garry Lyon 

    I'm not sure it would be Gaz. He's said a fair few times he feels uncomfortable about this kinda stuff, was even saying the other night he wasn't that keen to be in the rooms as he doesn't like the vibe of that whole former player trying to be involved scenario. Just gut feel, but reckon he wouldn't do it unless there wasn't really any other options.

    Personally, I think it will be Woey, and that would be a nice part of making that relationship with the club better.

    Paul Roos would have been my pick.

    I can see them convincing Gaz.

    Yeah he did say that in those interviews but I also thought he looked to be embracing it. Knowing he's one of the few club greats available and how much he cares about the team I can see them convincing him. He's still got such a strong relationship with the club and a lot of the players. Would love to see him hand it over to Max.

    I am unsure which former demons live in WA?

    I like the ideas of it being Shane Woewodin, Jeff Farmer (if he is back in Perth?) Ken Melville or even Garry Lyon.

    I understand the criticism of Garry Lyon. He is a grumpy bugger! But he has that connection with Jimmy Stynes which is quite important. No matter what you can tell Garry Lyon still loves the Melbourne Football Club.

    I doubt Neale Daniher or Ron Barassi will be able to make it across to WA due to quarantine restrictions unfortunately.

    Anyway, this is all hypothetical at this stage. We still have to get the job done first and be lucky enough to win the Grand Final against the Bulldogs.

    He's unavailable.  Too busy studying for his exams for his  psychology degree at the University of Western Samoa.

    I love the idea of Ken Melville (age 90) being assisted by Garry.??? - both in Perth.

    There will be plenty of spots for those suggested for the flag unfurling.   

    RDB probably but as a celebration the Tiges did it beautifully in 2018 (for the 2017 flag) which involved a number of important people to participate from Cheer squad, to supporters, older champions etc., Sam Stynes, Neale.........

    The list could be endless really

    Being that Barrassi and Daniher aren’t over there in WA, and Lyon was granted an exemption, it’ll probably be Gaz.

    Sentimentally I would love to see Gaz and Yze do the presentation if we are lucky enough to win the Granny. They both have great MFC pedigrees and are not tainted by any other colours.❤️💙

    Edit: wrong thread.

    On the subject, I'd be happy to see anyone present the cup so long as we win, Lyon, Woey, The Wiz, anyone, but I can't see The Rev or Barrassi getting there unfortunately

    What's stopping them from having Gaz present it, with Barrassi and Daniher (and Jones?) saying a few words via video link to the main video screen on the scoreboard?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
