Good. The impression was otherwise.

He isn't a Melbounre person. He's a media person. The same goes for Mike Sheahan.

I not sure public utterances about the Club from any of past ringleaders of the circus is appropriate or needed. There are enough precedents there with past Presidents and CEOs.

So to paraphrase...

He is a media person and part of his role is to discuss football matters publicly,

except about the MFC

even though he isn't a Melbourne person.

LOL.

And no other Club has been under AFL hypercare financial and resource support like MFC.

I'll give you two. GWS and Gold Coast.

Any other sweeping statements?

G Lyon was Captain of the MFC for 7 years..he was not the ringleader of a circus..

Show some respect you bitter little man...you really have been pouring it out today...

Garry made some mistakes, he has admitted that but as a past CAPTAIN he is one who is entitled to speak his mind.

If you do not want to listen...Turn it off.

I'm not sure why there is so much anger towards Barrett.

He's doing his job. If he didn't report on matters such as these events and Mondays decision on the PP, we'd be none the wiser.

Keep up the good work, Damo..

:P

True to form. He is a media person that can speak about the Melbourne Football Club but should not speak on behalf of the Melbourne Football Club.

They are start up clubs with a known development program. I wouldn't expect you to work that out.

When did Lyon issue a statement on behalf of the club?

I must say I have seen this thread on the home page feed since yesterday titled with the dou** b*gs name, and only now I chose to click it.

I must say i can't stand him, I can't stand his voice, his glasses, and his co**y attitude, his reports and his allegedly intellectual input. I love hearing him get booo'ed when welcomed on the footy show and I can't wait for the day there is no more time for him in the vast world of football.

Reading what the scum wrote about us in this weeks sliding doors makes my blood boil, we have poached brett Allison and Ben Mathews, both have connections to Roos, not sure how we are robbing other clubs of their assistants.

Don't seem to remember a fuss when Essendon poached Wellman when he had just signed a contract with us.

No! He would regard this as 'clever recruiting', since it was one of the 'power houses' that pulled it off.

It certainly set as backwards, as Wellman was a competent coach.

But as a cellar dweller trying to climb up a few steps, we'd be seen by Barrett as poachers.

Names such as his need to be kept in the memory for retribution when we are again a successful club and can snub him for his past reporting crimes.

Unfortunately that is just another blatant example of hypocritical reporting to an agenda. It is too prevalent.

    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

WAYNE WUSSELL'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS Rehab: Lever, Spargo, McAdam, Lindsay, Brown Sinnema is excellent by foot and has a decent vertical leap. Windsor is training with the Defenders.

    A couple of intrepid Demonland Trackwatchers headed down to Gosch's Paddock for the midweek Preseason Training Session to bring you the following observations. Demonland's own Whispering Jack was not in attendance but he kicked off proceedings with the following summary of all the Preseason Training action to date. We’re already a month into the MFC preseason (if you started counting when the younger players in the group began the campaign along with some of the more keen older heads)

    BEST OF THE REST by Meggs

    Meggs' Review of Melbourne's AFLW Season 9 ... Congratulations first off to the North Melbourne Kangaroos on winning the 2024 AFLW Premiership. Roos Coach Darren Crocker has assembled a team chock-full of competitive and highly skilful players who outclassed the Brisbane Lions in the Grand Final to remain undefeated throughout Season 9. A huge achievement in what was a dominant season by North. For Melbourne fans, the season was unfortunately one of frustration and disappointment
