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.

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.

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.

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

Any other sweeping statements?

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.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Brisbane

    The Demons once again went goalless in the last quarter and were run down by the Lions at the Gabba in the final minutes of the match ultimately losing the game by 5 points as their percentage dips below 100 for the first time since 2020.

    It's Game Day and the Dees are deep in the heart of enemy territory as they take on the Lions in Brisbane under the Friday Night Lights at the Gabba. Will the Demon finally be awakened and the season get back on track or will they meekly be sacrificed like lambs to the slaughter?

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
