G. LYON - FOOTY CLASSIFIED



Recommended Posts

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)

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.

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

Just tell me what crap Lyon says.

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.

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 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 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 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

Far more interesting.

What does the one million dollars refer to?

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
