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.*

* Pending us winning the bloody thingย

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?ย

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. ย Maybe one of the reasons for the change.

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

Hereโ€™s a sneak peak. I feel for those that canโ€™t make it, especially the old timers.ย

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 ratioย 

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 didnโ€™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.


Lyonโ€™s the best available given the circumstances.ย 

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.

At least we are able to get a Dee's player to be part of the moment๐Ÿฅฐ

A worthwhile 5 minutes.

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 hisย 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 asย  person, he is clearly a suitable person to present the cup.ย

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

  • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

    A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmyโ€™s inclusive bannerโ€”"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwoodโ€™s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.ย

  • CASEY: Frankston

    The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
