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!

    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 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).

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
