Well, we all know Chris Judd grew up idolising the Demons, and in particular our amazing skipper, Garry Lyon

Apparently, Chris wore the number 3 cos of Gary (I think thats true, can anyone confirm?)

Lyon is smitten with Judd. Judd respects Gary. So what role can Lyon play in getting Judd to the MFC?

I am pretty sure Chris Connolly will be on the phone to his mate Gary Lyon as I type this, asking him to meet with Juddy. Perhaps Connolly will be at the meeting as well.

Who knows?

Either way, I think we have every resource at our disposal to get Judd to the MFC.

    I wish you'd stop hanging it on Lyon every chance you get as if he owes the club anything at all. He doesn't.

    That said, if a phone call from him would make any difference at all in getting Judd here then I hope it happens. I seriously doubt it would make any difference at all though.

    How could Gary not owe the club anything?

    He wouldn't have made any name for himself in the media and the like unless he'd been a footballer, which he was at Melbourne.

    IMO I think any person that is given an opportunity (for some, the opportunity of a lifetime) to do something, they then owe that person at least something, and if it's a persuasive phone call in this case, then so be it.

    I think it's a good idea, if Garry can influence Juddy to come to the dees then that would be great.

    With Bizzell retiring, the number 3 jumper is now available! Who knows - could well be fate?!

    I have no doubt that if Gary or Jim or even Ron Barassi was asked to speak to Judd they would.

    I agree when you saying that Lyon may have influence in getting him to Melbourne (which won't happen). He seems to be the character that everyone loves. I'm sure many of you remember when Farmer almost left Melbourne to return to Perth and Lyon was apparently the main figure in getting him back. I have no doubt that had Lyon had more influence with Melbourne at the time of his depature he may not have even left (Farmer).

    In saying that, Judd won't be at Melbourne next year or ever, unless he makes it clear he only wants to play for us. I have a feeling the guy knows where his loyalty lies and it is killing him to say he wants to come home. I think it is possible he will come out and say he wants to play for us, and I don't think he would choose Carlton on Collingwood over us to be honest.

    Lyon can choose what he wants to do. U people make me sick. He loves the club but he doesent have to involved in it for the rest of his life

    Can confirm Judd wore 11 on his back for Jim Stynes.

    I'm loving the idea of a Lyon / Judd combination on the Footy Show, similar to the Eddie / Bucks combo the Pies used to have!

    It could become the MFC Footy Show!

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the Demons return to the MCG to face the Tigers in their annual Blockbuster on ANZAC Eve for the 10th time. The Dees will be desperate to reignite their stuttering 2025 campaign and claim just their second win of the season. Can the Demons dig deep and find that ANZAC Spirit to snatch back to back wins?

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
