Firstly I want to touch on Dean Bailey. A good coach who's brave decisions became his undoing. The chop of McDonald and to an extent Bruce were first signs for me his vision for the club was flawed and too fixed. Respect to Dean though for recognising the clubs list needed a rebuilding phase.

Stability in any organisation is key to meeting organisational goals. The Melbourne Football Club have a president away from the club most of the time, a CEO who previously spent $80,000 on a desk at the club under pressure for various reasons and a leadership group doing nothing of that. Stability is lacking in every area of our club. Jim Stynes should of stepped down permanently as soon as he couldn't continue to complete presidency duties on a day to day basis. In December of 2010, my information is that Jim put it on himself to personally oversee the coaching of Bailey with the view of making a recommendation to the board regarding a new contract for Dean moving forward. There are two problems with this. Battling illness, Jim isn't in any position to perform reviews to the standard required and if Chris Connolly isn't the man to oversee the coach, how/why is he still required? Surely this is his job.

And as touched on by Leigh Matthew's. I don't understand the club's need to bring in Lyon. If the Board of Directors, CEO and Football Manager are making the wrong decisions then change needs to be made. Bringing a primarily media mogul in on a consultive basis isn't the answer long-term. I have fears for club.

OK you have had your say.....Who cares what Leigh Matthews says he is outside the workings of the club.

What about if G. Lyon does a great job straitening out the place...What will the media write then?

Give him a go at doing what he thinks is right.

Good luck to him. Has he got the bollocks to get rid of anyone? Probably not.

Only one way to find out Danny.

If anyone needs "to go" i am sure they will be dealt with...G. Lyon Captained this club, i think he wants to see the joint rise.

Just give him a chance...Feel free to write this stuff next year, if you can see plainly nothing was done.

Like i said last week..If Garry had declined to help Jim at this time DEMONLAND would have gone into meltdown.

What Jim says goes buddy and what Leigh says means very little unless of course hes interested in some sort of role at MFC, Until then what Jim says goes.

80,000 for a desk, that cant be true.

Ah yes ... the innuendos and lies spread.

Germany's propaganda minister during the war was Joseph Goebbels. His policy was that if you repeat a lie often enough the ordinary punter would believe it. There have been lots of unsubstantiated stories about CS. Now it's the $80k desk. Next week it's going to be the fact that he kept a dozen concubines holed up in an office near the Long Room.

I agree with this

FFS

People get a grip.

These stories are becoming more and more ridiculous!!!

HARVEY WALLBANGER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Absent: Salem, Windsor (word is a foot rash going around), Viney, Bowey and Kentfield Train ons: Roy George, no Culley today.

    Demonland Trackwatchers were out in force as the Demons returned to Gosch's Paddock for preseason training on Wednesday morning. GHOSTWRITER'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Kozzie a no show. Tommy Sparrow was here last week in civvies and wearing sunnies. He didn’t train. Today he’s training but he’s wearing goggles so he’s likely got an eye injury. There’s a drill where Selwyn literally lies on top of Tracc, a trainer dribbles the ball towards them and Tracc has to g

    THAT WAS THE YEAR THAT WAS: 2024

    Whichever way you look at it, the Melbourne Football Club’s 2024 season can only be characterized as the year of its fall from grace. Whispering Jack looks back at the season from hell that was. After its 2021 benchmark premiership triumph, the men’s team still managed top four finishes in the next two seasons but straight sets finals losses consigned them to sixth place in both years. The big fall came in 2024 with a collapse into the bottom six and a 14th placing. At Casey, the 2022 VFL p
