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)

The media are not just messengers OD, that is the problem, they are bullies and vultures that feed off the carcasses of the weak. They are spineless and don't report the truth, but rather attack those

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 Garr

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.

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

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?

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out

    GOOD MORNING by Meggs

    If you are driving or training it to Cranbourne on Saturday, don’t forget to set your alarm clock. The Melbourne Demons play the reigning premiers Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields this Saturday, with the bounce of the ball at 11:05am.  Yes, that’s AM.   The AFLW fixture shows deference to the AFL men’s finals games.  So, for the men it’s good afternoon and good evening and for the women it’s good morning.     The Lions were wounded last week by 44 points, their highest ever los

    HORE ON FIRE by Meggs

    The 40,000 seat $319 million redeveloped Kardinia Park Stadium was nowhere near capacity last night but the strong, noisy contingent of Melbourne supporters led by the DeeArmy journeyed to Geelong to witness a high-quality battle between two of the best teams in AFLW.   The Cats entered the arena to the blasting sounds of Zombie Nation and made a hot start kicking the first 2 goals. They brought tremendous forward half pressure, and our newly renovated defensive unit looked shaky.

    REMATCH by Meggs

    The Mighty Demons take on the confident Cats this Saturday night at the recently completed $319 million redeveloped GMHBA Stadium, with the bounce of the ball at 7:15pm. Our last game of 2023 was an agonisingly close 5-point semi-final loss to Geelong, and we look forward to Melbourne turning the tables this week. Practice match form was scratchy for both teams with the Demons losing practice matches to Carlton and Port Adelaide, while the Cats beat Collingwood but then lost to Essendo
