Garry Lyon says weak, cancerous types have to go

Some good points here.

I don't want to appear pedantic, but it would help if we all got the spelling of Garry Lyon's first name correct.

It's Garry not Gary

Now back on topic.

It's good to see him finally get involved.

In many ways it's a pity it took a crisis to get his "support".

Jimmy and the club have needed it for some time.

    So, after making a myestrious phone call to set Jim straight, after Bailey has been dismissed ans Schwab offered a last minute one year extention, Garry is going to "thrash out" the issues with his mates (i.e. the most significant figures left at the club) in the hopes of finding a "resolution."

    And why is he qualified to do this exactly? Beacause he use to play for us? Because he is on the telly? Beacause he is friends with all of them?

    It is sure as hell not because he intends to stick it out and see things through.

    This is a farce. Worst of all, there may be no better realistic option.

    You will get over it Hazy....Garry is reminded of the MFC every morning when he wakes up, courtesy of his bad back, so give him a chance....The President asked for his help, and he said he will.

    We know you don't like anything post Gardiner.....

    With all due respect thats its what you do when your "mates" are in trouble ... you get in there and help them out.

    What's his qualifications ... he cares about this football club. He is a "legend" of our club and respected by many. Magic he is a past player with experience associating with many AFL identities. But most of all he finally wants to fix the "real" problems on ALL levels.

    Sadly this club has lost synchronisation ... its time to fix it. The alternative is not good.

    IMHO he is the optimum "fixer" because he will be willing to listen to all. Sorry but we all have to give a bit. Yes that includes us.

    Garry is many things, but the one thing that can't be disputed is his leadership. It is embarrassing that a bloke off the telly has to get in there and shake things up, but as mentioned, it's the only option we've got.

    I feel my club is close to death, if Jimmy's efforts, which were strong on UNITY haven't sorted us out, I fear what will come next.

    Hearing Garry speak, and Todd's presser, shows me that people still have passion for this club, and there's a glimmer of hope in that.

    A lot needs to go right from now on, or we're gone.

    What? Because he used the word Cancer??? Are you for real??

    We have major problems at the club and if we do not get rid of the ASAP it (the problems) will go through the club like a bloody disease (if they havnt already)!!

    Garry would have meant anything else about it and Jimmy wouldnt have taken it that way.

    He could have used some other affliction like a parasitic infestation or perhaps hemorrhoids.

    I'm really glad to see Garry on board just a shame his work will be limited with his media priorities but i'm wondering if any other ex players will help out.

    You would think Ox,Neita,Flower,Or even Robbo would try to help out.

    Yeah, if they've pulled on the Melbourne jumped they must be great footy coaches, administrators, etc.

    What do other people in the footy industry know? Their clubs have only won every premiership since 1964.

    • 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

      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.

      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.
