No answers and no explanations from Garry. Like everyone else at the footy club. Too hard basket. No idea.

Anyone still convinced we don't need outside assistance has got rocks in their head.

Neeld spoke before the game of stopping Watson, yet no one was toe to toe with him putting on a tag why?

Damning example of not having the players on board.

All in all a nothing show from Garry Lyon. Had nothing to offer, and it pains me to say that Loydy probably backed us more than he did by suggesting it wouldn't be a good idea to sack Neeld, that if we had won the game no one would be mentioning having a camera in for the pre-game speech (like Port Power) etc.
Ultimately what i take from it, Garry Lyon has now virtually wiped his hands of the Melbourne Football Club.
"someone else do something"- Garry Lyon.
You are out Garry, so stay out now and let "someone else" do something without you interfering for the "heroics/ego boost" it brings to you.

... and does this genius have any answers?

I think he probably does.

Garry's not at the footy club. He always makes that clear. Blame dodger.

Though he did say "no one who's not at the club day to day has any idea about the clubs workings".... Maybe take that on board RR.

Lloyd was spot on. It doesn't require hope, it requires some analysis of the problems. Ie why didn't they listen to Neeld re Watson?

I don't suppose McKenzie dropping out one minute before the game had anything to do with a lack of pressure on the Brownlow medallist... Oh that's right, there must have been a heap of teams who had trouble holding Watson to low figures in 2012

That could be Robbo's million dollar question

Can you sack an entire playing list?

The scoreboard says all I need to know about the club's inner workings.

That and Neeld's pre-game speech.

The vision was VERY bad. No one even remotely close to him.

There is a difference between running with a player and standing toe to toe at a stoppage

You can't argue there was any pressure on Watson all night - not sure McKenzie is the only player that could have played on him

Caro asked for CS's sacking and referred to the demoralising effects of positioning the team in the best place to receive priority picks... Well what a surprise!

Haha tanking 2013 style

It pains me to completely agree with Caro (and Rangey) but I honestly believe for us to move forward as one, then Cameron has to move on. Till then, everything else is just shuffling deck chairs

I'm not Lyon's biggest fan by any means but I'm always puzzled by people's reaction to him.

He's tried to help a few times and hasn't done a lot of good. He's not a good coach so surely no one is calling for that. In what way is he really going to be helpful?

He's learnt his lesson from trying and is going to stick with what works (the media). So as long as he has no role in any new appointments etc then this is a win for everyone.

It would appear that there's impetus ( perhaps more behind the scenes) to get rid of CS. I wouldn't be surprised if AFL help is dependent upon his removal without bring explicitly said. I'd have no problem with that. Would welcome it.

...and Gary has been reading the tea leaves, he didn't stand up for his mate at any time. Not really a surprise either.

Gary Lyon is like a prostitute, he [censored] you, and takes no accountability for the STDs.

He chose Neeld and now he wants someone else to do something. Well gees, I wish you stayed out two years ago.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
