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.

    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

    • Thank You Simon Goodwin

      As Demon fans, we’ve ridden a rollercoaster of emotions over the decades; the heartbreaks, the near misses, the wooden spoons, and the endless waiting. But through it all, we clung to hope. And then came Simon Goodwin. Before he ever wore red and blue, he was a champion in his own right. A five-time All-Australian, two-time Best and Fairest, and two-time premiership hero and Captain with Adelaide, Simon Goodwin was always destined to lead. When he transitioned from the field to the coach's box, first as an assistant at Essendon, he began shaping a new legacy.

    • PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      Long ago and far away, the Melbourne Football Club replaced its coach in difficult circumstances after the team suffered a devastating loss. In the aftermath, I penned the following words: “Then came the politics, the intrigue, the axing, the sound of the football world laughing at a club, the circling of the media vultures, the reinvention of history, the anger, the irony, the pathos, the hurt on the face of the president, the dignified departure of the coach, and the determination of the newly appointed caretaker.” Today, we’re back in the same place although one difference here is that the coach who was terminated this time is Simon Goodwin, the man who four years ago

    • REPORT: West Coast

      The Charles Dickens novel, A Tale of Two Cities, opens with, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, …”  This phrase highlights many of the significant challenges that humanity encounters in life, ranging from experiencing remarkable highs to living in times of despair. This is a concept that should resonate with all supporters of the Melbourne Football Club this morning as they reflect on its comprehensive 83-point victory over the struggling West Coast Eagles at Marvel Stadium. The outcome proved beyond doubt that they are the worst of clubs and that we are the best of the worst.

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.
