... and does this genius have any answers?

He doesn't coach us, is he the one who's meant to have them?

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.

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.

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!

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

GL was very clear about why he got involved previously and he said he stood by his decisions on personnel... Move along folks, nothing to see here.

Haha tanking 2013 style

MELBOURNE concede the club's woeful start to the season and $500,000 "tanking" fine have the Demons on track for a $1 million loss this year.

You lack so much understanding.

Rad.

I can only think of Grimes (for grit) and Howe (running ability) as possible close-down-Watson options. Anyone else got any clues?

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.
