Who presents the Cup if we win?

Lucifers Hero
in Melbourne Demons

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 thing 

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.

    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.

    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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
