Has Garry Lyon's off-field input made the club better or worse off?

Isn't he the lad that kicked 7 in a final against Footscray alongside Jakovich?

I'd say better.

One of the old boys. Is doing too well to try to get a job at the club though. Worships Schwab and his public service calibre mates at the club.

I cna say this at least...his heart is in teh right place. Time will tell if his decesions have been correct. But remember he hasn't been the sole person making these decisions. Jim and Don also chose Neeld. Malthouse seemed to publicly back Neeld more than Waters too.

We use him as a cheap, highly knowledgeable consultant who is invested in the club and the decisions the club makes.

Sue us.

I think it was 10, and alongside the Ox - Ox's last game at the G before........."the knee" as I recall.

Or have we used him because he is a media personality?

How about the other players?

Why not get other informed and knowledgeable players who are still football active to come together and agree on a coach, ex players like;

Viney

Schwarz

Lovett

Rhode

Lovell

Grinter

Barrassi

for example.

Why does Lyon always have to solve our problems. Maybe he is not up to it.

He doesn't have to help ... but he does.

Maybe it's you who's not up to it as you sit there in the cheap seats taking potshots at a club legend 8 games into a new coach's tenure.

April 29, 2011 that is, so it's < 1 post a day.

Also, there's already a thread on Garry Lyon's heroic efforts at saving the day (and it's on Page 1). Here:

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    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.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players. DITCHA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I attended some of the training today. Richo spoke to me and said not to believe what is in the media, as we will good this year. Jefferson and Kentfield looked big and strong.  Petty was doing all the training. Adams looked like he was in rehab.  KE
