    Posting unsubstantiated rumours on this website is strictly forbidden.

    Demonland has made the difficult decision to not permit this platform to be used to discuss & debate the off-field issues relating to the Melbourne Football Club including matters currently being litigated between the Club & former Board members, board elections, the issue of illicit drugs in footy, the culture at the club & the personal issues & allegations against some of our players & officials ...

    We do not take these issues & this decision lightly & of course we believe that these serious matters affecting the club we love & are so passionate about are worthy of discussion & debate & I wish we could provide a place where these matters can be discussed in a civil & respectful manner.

    However these discussions unfortunately invariably devolve into areas that may be defamatory, libelous, spread unsubstantiated rumours & can effect the mental health of those involved. Even discussion & debate of known facts or media reports can lead to finger pointing, blame & personal attacks.

    The repercussion is that these discussions can open this website, it’s owners & it’s users to legal action & may result in this website being forced to shutdown.

    Our moderating team are all volunteers & cannot moderate the forum 24/7 & as a consequence problematic content that contravenes our rules & standards may go unnoticed for some time before it can be removed.

    We reserve the right to delete posts that offend against our above policy & indeed, to ban posters who are repeat offenders or who breach our code of conduct.

    WE HAVE BUILT A FANTASTIC ONLINE COMMUNITY AT DEMONLAND OVER THE PAST 23 YEARS & WE WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO BE ABLE TO DISCUSS THE CLUB WE LOVE & ARE SO PASSIONATE ABOUT.

    Thank you for your continued support & understanding. Go Dees.

What is it with people who think Lyon owes the club something?

He has always said if the club needs him he will help, but will not be an ex player hanging around the club like a bad smell.

He does not owe the club anything, he played his heart and soul out for the club, played under immense pain and duress for the club and yes was paid to do so, he does not owe the club 1 little bit!

I reckon Garry has jumped on board a lot more now ND has gone, one of his best mates is now Football Manager and he has stated regularly over the last couple of months how much he loves the club and he will do anything for them if they ask him. It was interesting to hear on Monday night how he said he rang Bailey and Connolly to see what they can do. If we don't get Judd it won't be for lack of trying by everyone at the club.

I think Lyon has allways been doing what he can quietly behind the scenes.

Youre not alone in this view.

Garry has to be very careful what he says and does as he is under the scope. This mans heart is redder and bluer than many a person's.

I am sure he does whatever he can covertly and otherwise when not viewed as an interest conflict.

I am sure that should CJ come to Melbourne that garry would personally present him with his new #3 jumper :)

I think you're on the money. Lyon isn't the type to hang around a club after he's left but he loves the Dees. There does seem a spring in his step when he now talks about the Dees.

he did say on footy Classified last monday he'd offer the number 3, "plus his first born" to judd if he thought it would get him, and he was meeting to discuss the matter with the club the next day.

No.

I think part of the process of transition from player to formal player for many is to leave for awhile and things tend to change when there is a major change like new coach as the retired players direct link with current team is less. The Ox has been in a similiar position. Would think both may be more obviously active now.

Partly this is respect for the coach of their time - not to be seen to contradict ND's coaching or mrentoring of players but maybe some personality issues also.

One of CC's action items is to encourage former players back to the club which is long overdue. This is an issue with former players going back to premiership players which is puzzling. Former players around the clubare great for both supporters and current players.

Whether or not Garry and Neale got along is not really relevant....

I think whatever help/assistance Garry gives the footy club is fantastic! He has a huge workload with media commitments and for him to even spare any of his time is awesome!

I do believe that Garry is genuinly excited about the immediate future of the club and, if asked, would go out of his way to help.....

He will always be a hero in my eyes and people should not underestimate the "pull" that he has around Victoria....

I think he has more involvement at the club than many think. He has a silent relationship and things like this is what we need him for and nothing else. If anyone is going to bring Judd to the MFC, it'll be Lyon.

ND was the coach who told Garry his time was up, same with Ox, now he's gone they will be a lot more pro-active in their support

Don't Forget ND coached Garry fot the '98 season, so he may have wanted to wait for that connection to finish-I doubt garry and ND disliked each other, but you are right the Lyon Profile has got bigger

    MELBOURNE BUSINESS by The Oracle

    In days of old, this week’s Thursday night AFL match up between the Demons and the Blues would be framed on the basis of the need to redress the fact that Carlton “stole” last year’s semi final away from Melbourne and with it, their hopes for the premiership.  A hot gospelling coach might point out to his charges that they were the better team on the night in all facets and that poor kicking for goal and a couple of lapses at the death cost them what was rightfully theirs. Moreover, now was

    UNDER THE PUMP by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons have been left languishing near the bottom of the VFL table after suffering a 32-point defeat at the hands of stand alone club Williamstown at Casey Fields on Sunday. The Demons suffered a major setback before the game even started when AFL listed players Ben Brown, Marty Hore and Josh Schache were withdrawn from the selected side. Only Schache was confirmed as an injury replacement, the other two held over as possible injury replacements for Melbourne’s Thursday night fixt

    THE MEANING OF FOOTY by Whispering Jack

    Throughout history various philosophers have grappled with the meaning of life. Aristotle, Aquinas, Kant, Nietzsche, Schopenhauer and a multitude of authors of diverse religious texts all tried. As society became more complex, the question became attached to specific endeavours in life even including sporting pursuits where such questions arose among our game’s commentariat as, “what is the meaning of football”? Melbourne coach Simon Goodwin must be tired of dealing with such a dilemma but,
