I'm really glad that Garry has moved to end the unhealthy speculation that he was heir apparent to take over as senior coach at Melbourne. On the other hand, its great to hear him say that he will always be available to help out in other roles, should he be invited to do so.

This is great for all the people who seem to like Potting Garry forbeing linked to Coaching. He never said he wanted to now its definitive.

He remains a legend of the club with integrity!

Lyon was a good player and strong leader for MFC, but may find it hard to up hold expectations of him coaching. If Lyon dosn't have the passion for coaching in the AFL, than it's best that he dosen't coach MFC.

Would be a great story (Lyon's coaching saves MFC!), but best keeped in fantasy...

Good, now everybody get off Dean Bailey's back and let us all support him.

He is doing a very Tough Job, so let us show some unity.

If Lyon does not have the passion he wouldn't be good at the job anyway. He is best mates with our senior people at the club, & always will be.

The Dream is over....

To be honest, I've always felt Garry would be more suited to the role of President.

He does speak well in front of an audience and he's a good leader.

Maybe in the future once Jim stands down and Gaz doesn't have so much on his plate.

Thank heavens for that. I wish he'd done this years ago.

He has stated time and time again, he didnt want to pursue a coaching career. But now its put to bed for ever and we can all move on!

Garry is super smart - way too smart to contemplate coaching an AFL club. He is making MEGA bucks in the media - that's where he will stay. Garry is a close friend of JS so his most productive work for the MFC will be honouring that connection.

A friend of mine asked me today what I thought of Lyon and the coaching role. I said to him he'd make a great President and I wouldn't be surprised if certain people didn't have this in mind already. Jimmy can't do it forever and we need the profile of someone like Lyon to keep this club in the news and in kids minds.

I think being around Eddie and then Brayshaw may have made him hesitant, but eventually I think he'll be in the president's chair one day.

Hmm. I posted something here, I'm sure of it. Was it deleted or am I mistaken?

Anyway. Bravo to Lyon for doing this. I think it does nothing for him and his future. I always thought he was keeping his options open, but by coming out in the media like that, even if he DID want to come into coaching later in his life, he must see now that this kind of article would be dredged up every time the going got tough. He's basically cut off an avenue for himself, and made life for Dean just that little bit easier.

Good on him.

Gaz is just trying to take pressure off Bails,why is Gaz coaching this year if he has no passion for it?

If Bails bails in 2 years,of course Gaz will coach the Dees as we have a much better list than 3-4 years ago when he wasn't interested.

Gaz is a radio commentator and co-hosts a footy show that hardly anyone watches,hardly a great career.

He never achieved anything as a footballer,maybe coaching will bring him the ultimate success,he at least has to have a crack at it or forever achieve nothing in our great game.

I'd say achieving nothing is a little harsh.

Oh by the way, he'll never coach this club. Never, ever. It's not going to happen. he may however become President.

Honestly, that is just a really stupid post.

Firstly, who are you to question garry's integrity. He has said he will not coach, thats it, end of story.

Secondly, if you think his current media committments are as you put it "hardly a great career" then you are seriously misguided. His career in the Media has spanned over 15 years now. Thats a career, and his bank balance and assetts i reckon would suggest it is a good career.

And thirdly and most shockingly is that you as a demon supporter (i hope) can write that he never acheived anything as a footballer is really awful, you should know better, that a 5 time All Australian, 2 time best and Fairest, many time victorian representative and state captain, and coaching the national side just to name a few is actually acheiving alot. Success, if YOU only measure it by winning premierships, then there are alot of great players that have acheived nothing according to you.

Grow up!

Sorry Jack, but I disagree on each of your points. In particular, stating that Garry 'never achieved anything as a footballer' is utter nonsence. 226 games; 426 goals; 7 years as captain of the Dees; regular State representative and 3 times selected as All Australian ...... and all this amounts to achieving nothing? wow!

With total sensitivity and fervent hope that Jimmy recovers his health. I suspect that if Garry is to play any role at the MFC in the future it will be in a similar capacity to his co-host on the footyshow. I hope it's be a long way into the future, and I think Jimmy is doing an awesome job.

Are you for real ?? Or are you just fishing ?? This is one of the most laughable post I've ever read. He has just stated in black & white doesn't want to coach.

For your information attatched is a link to Garry's football acievements

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
