Happy Birthday to Garry Lyon. Still a bit of a grumpy bugger! I remember you certainly weren't in the mood when my Dad asked you to sign my Melbourne jumper at the MFC family day back in the late 1990s. Hahahahaha! 😂

You were a great player though and a loyal Demon. Not to mention a great friend of the late and great Jimmy Stynes.

Not a bad career highlights reel here!

 

 

Happy Birthday Garry Lyon, its like I've known you since i was a kid as you were displayed on my bedroom wall.

Enjoy the next 2 weeks.👍🇭🇹🍻

 

Loved watching him in the rooms after the match on the Fox Footy coverage. He's just like anyone of us, absolutely thrilled that we're where we are now after years of mediocrity.

Here's my highlights contribution to this thread honouring the great man.

 


Happy Birthday G Lyon.

A MFC great

Happy birthday to every great Demon and supporter who has missed milestone birthdays in Victoria.

In a rare oddity my daughter who has a birthday in February got a birthday party the weekend before lockdown 1 and every other kid in her class missed out on their birthday party due to lockdowns and my daughter got a 2nd in a row in February this year. No other kid had one in between. It's the only time ever I hope my daughter doesn't get a Hattrick.

 

 

Seriously love this.

Rarely do we ever get Garry Lyon interview on the MFC website.

Well done Benny Gibson.

When Kate Roffey she arrived she said she would work to bring past players back to the club.  This could have her fingerprints on it.

 

As and aside.  Love the Jaguar ad at the start of all the club videos lately.  Every word about the car sounds just like our attitude to this season and the GF.

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).

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
