Garry Lyon "I will never coach the dee's"

The age article

Bit of a nothing article about how we must bounce back but this is the most important bit -

At the risk of self-indulgence, can I possibly put to bed, once and for all, one of those questions that has been repeatedly thrown up, and answered, over the past eight months.

I do not have any desire to pursue a career in coaching. I have not been asked, I don't expect to be and I would not consider it if I was. Coaching consumes so much of your time, and ties you to the world of football 24/7. I admire enormously those with the passion to undertake the role. I don't have it.

Now, everytime some muppet on here says "bring garry back to coach", please send them to this thread and hopefully they will go "oh yes, I am a muppet."

 

Most of us on this forum already know Lyon will not coach an AFL seniors team let alone Melbourne

Its driven by ill informed supporters and media people who like to write fantasy stories of favorite sons and knights in shining armor

There are quite a few obvious coaches in waiting but Garry Lyon is not one of them

I had to laugh when footy classified showed the Malthouse/Roos/Lyon newspaper article for possible Dees coaches and Caro quipped "4 premierships between you Garry."

 

Amazed to see The Age has 3 pages in succession on MFC today. Caro, Lyon, Flanagan and Pierik all with a piece.

These articles are just getting worse.

Re-hashing the same garbage and going back as far as last year to try and dig out as much dirt as possible.


Bloody James Hird has created a problem for Lyon.

It doesn't matter how many times he denies it, there will be peanuts out there who believe Garry is just biding his time.

Great article by Martin Flanagan. Respect.

Boom tish! Good line from Caro.

We're an easy target.

I'd like to see us rectify that, but playing like we did against West Coast doesn't help our cause at all.

Correct. We have earned the media attention for the wrong reasons.

Was never a possibility in my eyes. Likes to observe/comment from the outside and occasional advice to the club when asked, but never had the desire to coach. Don't know what all the fuss was about. Peeps looking for our savior i guess...

B)

I think we partially deserve the media attention, but I do love how we got it this week and so many other teams went under the radar, see NM, the Saints, Port.

I am hoping the media attention makes the players and coaching staff pull their fingers out though.

I do love how much people are talking up richmond though (I know they are having a dip) however they only beat the lions, as we did, but everyone talked up how good they were against the lions while we were disappointing.

When we battle hard and have a fightback and draw against the swans or just beat brisbane, it is disappointing and lucky while other teams have a disappointing game and win by a small margin but the media spins it to be a great fightin victory.

I think we are just being bashed because people thought we would be going better (i too hoped that but am more realistic) than we are, depsite the fact we are still a young team and really should be looking at a position of 8th to 10th this year.

People forget that Lyon has been out of AFL football as a player or in an official status, coach, FD etc for 12 years. A bit long in the tooth for starters. Tim Watson has had more recent AFL coaching experience. :rolleyes:

Isn't he coaching the AIS Under 18's, or something like that? Can't remember exactly what it is...

Too true Artie.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
