REVERED Melbourne identity Garry Lyon has dismissed calls to step in and help fix the Demons, saying he does not have the time.
As his club was being annihilated by Essendon at the MCG on Saturday night, Lyon has revealed his phone was buzzing with Melbourne people urging him to step up and help stop the rot.
But Lyon, who helped appoint embattled coach Mark Neeld, last night declared that would not be happening.
"My phone didn't stop the whole night during from Melbourne people - former players, supporters saying: 'Do something,'" he said on Channel Nine.

"Well, it is time for someone else to do something.
"I can't do it - circumstances don't allow me to do it professionally.
"And it is not something I am involved or interested in doing."

The former Melbourne great, who was a close friend of the late Jim Stynes, said it was not the time for the club to panic.
"He's (Neeld) under enormous pressure...I can't sit back and watch what unfolds on the weekend and not question myself or where they are at as a football club," he said.
"But what I'm not going to do, is on the back of a season and two games, go back on the process and all the reasons we appointed Mark and say they're not right."
Lyon backed the current football department to get the club out of this hole.
"Greg Healy is the footy director and I have great faith in Greg," he said.
"He's a good operator, I have faith in Neil Craig.
"Any other help that can come Melbourne's way, whether it be from the AFL, then I would support it."
