G. LYON - FOOTY CLASSIFIED

Featured Replies

Love him or hate him he has sway and is an influence at our club.
Hutchy and co. will quiz him about the Dee's tonight no doubt, so i thought i'd start a thread early on what perhaps he will say, what he should say, what he will do, what he should do etc.
Leaving it upon for us sad Demonland fanatics to discuss after what he has said during and/or after.
Could be important, but most likely will be a fizzer and no doubt i'll be wishing i had have gone to sleep instead of staying up and watching it.
(yes i know he has popped up already in other threads but this is in relation to tonight's program as we are yet to really hear from him in regard to the current crisis)

1, 2, 3 Go:

 

It will be about Garry and he'll offer no real solutions and invariably be a series of cliches that distance him from events. Be great if I was wrong.

I can't watch that show with Hutchy, prune face and "Mr Personality"

Just tell me what crap Lyon says.

 

If I were Gary I would ring in with the flu.

Say he caught it off Watts.

That is believable.

He always goes back to "I have nothing to do with the club", "I've been there once in the last 6 months", "I made it clear I didn't want to help and wouldn't be around long"....

Garry only loves Garry.... and money.

He likes to stick the boot in and give us a "rev up", but don't expect anything from him that doesn't suit his media image or make him money.

I am aware and understand how you feel.

Hence why i created this thread for those that can't stand the sight of Craig "I'd sift through my own mothers garbage to get a story" Hutchinson and friends, can then read what Garry "I pop in and out of the MFC to help at MY leisure" Lyon said about us.

Lets just hope he is not involved in choosing the next coach if it happens sooner rather than later.

I'll try:

'There's a breakdown between the goals of the FD and the Board'

'AFL footy is tough...Melbourne have to stand up'

'It's not Jack Watts' fault...'

'Mark Neeld is the man for the job, it'll take time'

'Who's Cameron Schwab?'

Honestly, I don't know what he'll say, but he'll just be dismissive of the situation. I reckon he should stay away for a while.

What i really don't understand Jumbo is why this affecting the teams performance.....

I don't understand why there seems to be no team unitity.

Robbo said it on AFL 360 - if the players are un-happy show some balls and speak out - otherwise play for each other and show some heart.

None of this makes any sense, and i don't think G Lyon will give any real answers

UH have you seriously considered that many are actually as poor as they look.

I have OD - I accept there are a lot blokes on our list who wouldn't know what hard work is

But even crap teams can still be competitive - where is the pride? where is the competitive spirt?

I really just don't understand what's happening at this club

Robbo and Wheatley having a great chat about the state of the club on 360 now.

Robbo has alluded to tomorrow's HS backpage story about the Dee's with "one million dollars" in the headline.

Won't be pretty.

I don't really like Robbo - but he did make some sense

i dont mind him, he is a slob but tonight he was good.

Told everyone (including supporters) to stop talking and help the club in anyway they can as we are in big trouble, in the mould of Fitzroy.

Makes sense.

I don't know either.

I remember a deputation of Richmond players went to the Board to depose Terry Wallace and guess what? It worked!!!

Players are too nervous to breathe atm.


Bleh - have to be hard up to watch that crap. Mutual ego-stroking contest between The Wig, The Blob, The Statue and Loin Chops (bugger - was trying to work The Lyon, The Witch and The Wardrobe in there somehow, but no room - maybe Lloyd is The Wardrobe, and Blubberguts has disappeared inside him).

Can you imagine how much money Lyon pulls in for peddling his cliches? (I read somewhere that Sam 'Botox' New-Man gets a million a year just for The Footy Show. With all his media involvement (eg his brilliant Gonzo analysis of Jared Rivers and his sterling defence of us during the tanking beat-up - oh, hang on, he didn't do that one, did he?) Lyon probably earns twice that.

Cheez...

I will be there Saturday SFKA

I won't jump ship - but I'd really love the players to show some real guts

I will be happy if the 'Leaders' of the club stand up and say this is not working - show some guts and make a real stand

Surely playing poorly will only turn us supporters against the players?? And if it's true - 2 coaches in 3 years they've disagreed with - that is a real worry

As will i pal.

I bloody love footy and i love the Melbourne Football Club.

A'men brother

You missed out on the curling .

Far more interesting.

What does the one million dollars refer to?

    Melbourne returned to its city citadel, IKON Park, boasting a 10–2 home record and celebrating its 100th AFLW matchwith 3,711 fans creating a finals atmosphere. But in a repeat of Round 11, Brisbane proved too strong, too fit, and too relentless.  They brought their kicking boots: 9 goals, 2 points.

    Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

    It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

  • DRAFT: The Next Generation

    It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.
