MELBOURNE great Garry Lyon has launched a stinging attack on the Demons following their "demoralising" loss to Port Adelaide yesterday.

Lyon, who described the 79-point hammering as "heartbreaking", questioned the Demons' intensity, effort and courage.

"I've got absolutely no defence for the football club," Lyon said on Triple M today.

"Whatever comes their way they need to cop, and wear it and there is no defence at all that can be mounted for the performance that unfolded yesterday.

The Tackle: Demons simply pathetic

"The lack of pressure, the decision making, the lack of intestinal fortitude ... courage if you like. It was all there, anything you need to throw up was there to say (it was) absolutely hopeless.


"To come out for the first game of the year on your home ground, with credit to Port, they weren't playing Hawthorn or West Coast. This was a side that had six new players as well.

"You see guys going back with the flight and flinching and ducking their head and electing to punch rather than take possession, that to me, I don't ever excuse that in footy, but sometimes you can rationalise it, but not ever in a first game when your whole season is alive.

"It's demoralising to have a Round 1 like that ... I can cop floggings but I need to know what happens in the week following and I'm not confident in next week.

Lyon said coach Mark Neeld had to flog the players on the training track this week.

"Sacrifice an injury, sacrifice a tear ... if you don't compete out there, compete somewhere else."
