Who presents the Cup if we win?

After years of pushing aside his affiliation to the MFC at least publicly in the media, it is great to see him embracing the club. He is a club champion and I think it will be great for him and our club that he is finally showing his passion for the club he gave his all to.*

Go Dee's!!!

    Lyon was 10 times the player of Grant hopefully this is reflected in the result of match.

    He would hold the cup up better too.

    You're kidding me right?

    I'm not sure about that.

    Kate Roffey has form at getting major developments done and has ties to the current state Government. It was a very strategic handover.

    Thats I heard came out after his exit.  Maybe one of the reasons for the change.

    I like option 7, mainly because I'd like to see what you really look like.

    Here’s a sneak peak. I feel for those that can’t make it, especially the old timers.

    He's a very strange person, Garry. Not much emotion in the guy, I'll say that much.

    He just hides his emotion. Was the same when Jimmy died. But when he lets his guard down he loves the MFC. Bit of a defence mechanism

    I think that's right. He has been hurt by footy just as much as he's been lifted up by it I reckon.

    Grant was a gun but so was Garry. Lyon has a higher goals to games ratio 

    agree with you that Lyon was not 10 times the player...

    He said it was a special moment to be asked and it would be great to play a little role in this - so you are being a bit unfair.

    He knows his privilege and I appreciate that; he is embarrassed by this unearned spotlight and he shouldn't be.

    You obviously didn’t see him tearing up after the prelim win. His emotion was raw and his interviews were memorable after the game

    I misspoke. I think Garry is a deeply hurt person by things he's done, missed out on, and been burnt by.

    His lack of emotion (or rather, his attempts to push back at emotive displays, especially those prompted by others) is his way of controlling that hurt.

    Ah, ok, yes he would prefer to avoid getting into it and even to the detriment of his own contributions. He is human.

    I just hope we all move on - if the Demons of 2021 and beyond can deliver a flag and a united, forgiving club, we would want for nothing evermore.

    Lyon’s the best available given the circumstances. 

    Clearly if it were in Melbourne there would be far better options at our disposal - Ronald Dale, Daniher, Neitz.

    Nice call here.

    As a committed Dee I once had the pleaseure of sitting in the corporate room at a Dees v Dogs game in 1998 as a guest of a Dogs Cttee member. Right in front of me was Charlie Sutton. The game was at Princes park for some reason, dogs won by 3 goals, Grant had 21 disposla and kicked 3.

    Charlie was held in reverance at the event by all, but Chris Grant turned on a master class in the game and I found his nickname with the Doggies faithful was ' Rolle Royce".

    He sure was that day and I appreciated him ever since.

    Both worthy links to each team I reckon.

    So you know him personally do you?

    I said this on the Happy Birthday thread, but I'll say it again here:

    It's absolutely fantastic to see Garry speak so openly of his love for the Dees, and to hear him saying "we" and "us" instead of "they" and "them" (not that he shouldn't be doing that as part of his day job).

    Lyon is a rude, arrogant man. (Witnessed it first hand on a number of occasions, as have others.)

    He was one of my favourite players to watch and a legend of the Club. Despite my dislike for him as  person, he is clearly a suitable person to present the cup.

    Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I always found Garry to be talkative and engaging. I worked at the club mid nineties and there were other players who were rude and not engaging - but Lyon wasn't one of them. And the rudest of the bunch might surprise you but thats for discussion another time. Go Dees

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
