DOn't know why this topic was taken down last night. More D'Land censorship????

Clarkson stated on OOC categorically that neither he or his manager were approached to coach the Dees.

GLyon wouldn't answer a straight question last night on FC.

Whats going on?? Someone is not telling the full story.

We didn't speak to Ross Lyon and we didn't speak to Clarkson.

How did out current coach get chosen again???

And this was after Bailey was chosen because he had a whizz bang powerpoint presentation.

We need some answers because the boys club is crumbling....

Doesn't sit well does it. What did Garry actually say last night? I missed the show.

Body language will tell all of course.

Clarkson was pretty relaxed the grab i saw.

No he wouldn't, and he also wouldn't answer a straight question on Neeld's tenure.

Very strange man for one not interested in politics.

Garry needs to BTFO of MFC business.

Back it up or remove it. Some of the comments on here are ridiculous and don't do the club any good.

I thought G Lyon was direct and clear on FC last night that he did speak to Clarkson.

And I wouldn't expect him to criticise Neeld given his involvement in the appointment process. Not at all strange. If he had said anything else that would have been the lead story in the media, not Gerard Healy's comments.

GL did answer Craig Hutchinson by saying that he did not understand why "Al" would say that. I think CW or someone said who was to be believed GL or AC and Craig Hutchinson said Gary Lyon. From my viewpoint Gary was saying that he was approached and he doesn't know why AC would deny that.

CS told me he was, I asked him the question and he answered. Just saying. (Why would CS tell me? Why would he lie to me? Why would Clarkson lie? I have NFI!).

What youre accusing jrmac of is common knowledge, obviously you haven't heard of this.

Agree with that. The comment you referred to is rubbish.

"Common knowledge" on Demonland equates to an often repeated statement whether it is factual or not. In this case it isn't.

Actually, the person who struggled most on FC last night on this issue was Craig Hutchison who seemed quite unconvincing when he tried to argue that he'd never discussed Melbourne approaching Clarkson with Liam Pickering who is both Clarkson's manager and Hutchison's colleague on radio.

GLyon did not answer a straightforward question. He was sheepish and cute in his answer. If he did approach Clarkson or his manager he could have and should have come out and said that. Nothing wrong with truth...if indeed.....

And of course CH and CW had to come out in public support of GLyon on the show. Otherwise it would have descended into greater farce with an FCC panellist being branded a liar. And the questioning of GLyon suggested they did not believe him.

All they can be establish from the embarrassing effort of GLyon is that one of them at least is lying and I can't think why either would do that.

Maybe he was told so by GLyon that he did. Agree on why they would lie.

That's the one, a simple yes or no.

Umm Ive only just joined Demonland, it was common knowledge to the public. Well documented at the time.

Hutchy struggles on every show. He really is fit to only interview the Auskick star of the week. CH let himself down with that gap. Especially when they showed OTC footage of Clarkson saying that MFC did not approach he or his manager.

Quite bizarre differing versions of a straightforward simple issue.

Well I'd heard of it as had many others.

I think you should take some of your own advice there champ. From what I've read of your posts so far you seem like an angry little man, I'm sure your posts will become more entertaining.....

Garry Lyon did NOT say he approached Clarkson. He only suggested he might of approached him. Could not give a yes or no answer.

He did not approach Leigh Matthews.

He did not make a play for Malthouse.

He did not speak directly to Ross Lyon.

He quickly appointed Neeld, because Neeld was the polar opposite of his failed appointment of Bailey.

Garry Lyon has plenty to answer for, and it seems he has gagged his panel members on Footy Classified from asking him the big questions like'

"Do you feel responsible for setting the MFC back a decade by trying to pick a diamond in the rough instead of a proven premiership coach"?

I think Clarkson is our man.

I think Clarkson is our man.

He would be great. Not sure how we get him away from the Hawks with how theyre going though. Obviously $$$ but I think he'll want a flag or two first.

The Ross Lyon issue was not straight forward at all. The MFC were in discussion with his management at the time. Ross Lyon told his management that he wanted to stay at St.Kilda, he instructed them to work out a deal. His management told the MFC past on this info to the MFC so we believed he wasn't interested in leaving the Saints. Lyon then went and signed a contract directly with Freo with his management's knowledge.

There was nothing we could have done really

It was taken off because the issue's been dealt with elsewhere.
