Anyone see Garry Lyon on Foxfooty geeing up the team for the 2nd half?

Even though he was dressed innocuously in a Demon top, he looked focussed and angry like he did in the good ol' days...

Does anyone think he'll get a sniff and relent? Personally, I'd love to see a Lyon/Viney combination - two of the toughest, uncompromising players ever to wear a Dees jumper.

If this happens and they woo Junior back....sorry, just a fantasy.

Was thinking the same thing when they said it on radio. Would love it to happen. Still very much think we have to keep Viney in a coaching role at the club.

He is one year into a 5 year contract as a development coach.

He'll be around.

But I think he realises he isn't the person to be in charge.

Garry Lyon looked very angry at half time - him and the 13,000 other people in Red and Blue on Sunday night.

Id like him as the defensive coach or is that to american? Did well with the Hawks cluster.

Viney and Lyon. Two guys how have both come out and said multiple times that they don't want the position.

I would prefer someone who wants the position.

I was embarrassed when we scored compared to when the Tiges scored - the difference in crowd noise was phenomenal. I'd say of the 36k who rocked up, literally one third were Melbourne supporters. Pathetic. Don't know how the Tigers supporters got the title as the biggest bandwagoners in the comp.

Hahaha Garry looked like he was ready to deck Hutchy after calling him on referring to Melbourne's head coach selection process as being "variable", purely because it hadn't been made public and Hutchy knew nothing of it.

Also, Lyon said there was a board meeting today, and some details will be made public tomorrow.

I think probably an announcement about sponsorship too, based on what Schwab said on Sunday at a prematch event.

($1.9mil for the back of the jumper - no front sponsor signed as yet).

Surely they wouldn't reveal a new sponsor while there is 2 more games in the season with the current ones still paying for the exposure.

Yeah, I thought the same, but I'm pretty sure Schwab said on Sunday we'd be hearing something about it in the news in the next week.

Spot on. I was disgusted with the lack of people there. People may whinge about the time-slot, seriously harden up. Couldn't pick a better game to go too, Beautiful day, at the G against a team were we really should have won.

Whenever Richmond kicked a goal in the clutch the noise was deafening, when we did it was polite clapping and a couple of shouts.

Spot on. But we need Both of them around the Club OFFICIALLY, & in Power positions.

Lyon as Pres after Jimma.... Jimma to Patron.

I'm starting to think we should go after Balmey, to bring his experience back.. We gave him a good AFL start.

We need Todd to do what he thinks he's best suited to.

After the tripe that has been served up this year i don't blame a few people for dropping off...The season is over...If Richmond fans get excited about finishing 9th again good luck to them.

This club will improve, but it won't be this year....and the crowds will build.....A lot will depend on the next coach appointment

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
