How do we expect players to give their all and be 100% commited when all you hear from ex Melbourne Greats Gary Lyon I'm only doing the Job until somebody else puts their hand up,I dont know how many times I've heard him say this.

Also Todd Viney I'll coach out the season but I'm not interested after that.

For God's sake some one step up to the plate with some BALLS and say this is what we need and I'm the man to do it.

I don't think we need a thread on this, but I'll give you my answer.

I've got no problem with Todd. He wants his job as development coach to continue and I think this period of senior coach will help him. If he doesn't think he's a senior coach then why stuff around. If Mark Williams, Brian Royal or Scott West were the answer they would have stepped up.

I'm a bit disappointed in Lyon. From a distance it looks like a guy who doesn't work overly hard and who could step in for a medium-long term small amount of work each week. However, we don't know what he does in his personal life and who are we to judge. Working out how the football department and board communicate (ie. football director) is an important job and getting the right person is also important.

Jimmy has stepped up amazingly over the last few years and still isn't going anywhere, Don McLardy seems to be in it long term as well. I really have faith that Schwab has good intentions and wants a premiership as well.

Exactly right. Viney may understand that he may not be the best coach in the land, but for Lyon to say he is only half committed is downright unacceptable. Go hard or go home. Lyon, you are sending out a very mixed message.

Change of heart for Viney

I think basically he wants the best possible coach for the MFC and doesnt want to put himself forward. Deep down he wants it I think. You don't do assistant coaching roles for the fun of it.

It's pretty clear - Garry doesn't want to do the job, but he will temporarily for the sake of the club and his mate Jim.

What exactly are you confused about?

It's not algebra...

I wonder if Todd is doing what Schwab may have done using reverse psychology to generate interest in themselves.

Make something unavailable and everyone wants it. Its the oldest trick in the book

Warrior code?

Who do you think you are, Jake the Muss?

Selecting a coach requires a clear head, clever planning and informed decisions.

Not inspiring men to run through brick walls.

For "god's sake", If you're going to call out a former champion and captain - at least spell his name correctly.

In any case, you should lay off him. He is doing his bit to help a mate.

But, most of all he is doing his bit for the club.

Clearly he doesn't want the job - that's life.

However, until someone else is able to stand up, he's the best we've got.

The same applies for Todd.

And as one other poster said: Todd wants the best for the club. If we do manage to catch one of the big fish, he will support that. If circumstances create a position where he is able to apply for the job, well, as he said, he'll review things at the end of the year.

To me, that's putting the good of the club ahead the individual.

What's wrong with that ?

Quite possible.

And that's the correct way to do it.

It avoids a confrontation should we get someone like MM or Ross Lyon.

He is putting the club, ahead of his own ambitions.

Aren't we therefore fortunate to have him on board??

Viney is putting the club before himself. He is interested in the role and will, in my opinion, be coach should either Malthouse or Ross Lyon not accept the position. Should that happen, I think he will be a very good coach, with his experience as an assistant over the last 10 years or so at successful clubs with good coaches. I would think should that happen, the club will attempt to appoint an experienced senior assistant, with probably Neil Craig an ideal choice if he hasn't already accepted a position under Voss at the Lions, as speculated - especially seeing they worked together at the Crows. I, for one, would be very happy if that happened, however, my gut feel still says that one of Malthouse or Ross Lyon will accept the position. .

Can't see the big deal regarding Lyon.

The guy is being honest, and were Jimmy 100%, Garry wouldn't be needed.

If nothing else, he'll do what he believes to be the best for the MFC.

Spot On...GET OFF G.LYON'S CASE for Gods sake, he is being the voice of Jimmy because Jimmy is gravely ill.

Good on you Garry i say.

What, the players weren't giving their all today and weren't 100% commited ?

Were you watching ?

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had

    CENTIMETRES by Whispering Jack

    Our game is one where the result is often decided by centimetres; the touch of a fingernail, a split-second decision made by a player or official, the angle of vision or the random movement of an oblong ball in flight or in its bounce and trajectory. There is one habit that Melbourne seems to have developed of late in its games against Carlton which is that the Demons keep finding themselves on the wrong end of the stick in terms of the fine line in close games at times when centimetres mak

    The Demons were blown out of the water in the first quarter and clawed their way back into the contest but it was a case of too little too late as they lost another close one to Carlton losing by 1 point at the MCG.
