Just getting really tired of this mug.. Watched a little clip of Barret and the hairy one discussing the acts of thuggery displayed by Hodge and Lewis on the weekend, Hairy Garry said they should miss 3, "they have GWS and Melbourne coming up, so it won't hurt them too much". Now it might be true, but how about some support you ungrateful piece of crap!

Sick of it! Without the MFC you would be nothing! Poor Jimma had to just about twist your arm to help us when he was on his death bed, not to mention your unwillingness to deter from your self centred view on life, and how you only want to focus on your media career.

You are a selfish, unappreciative, spoilt snipper, and it hurts, because you used to be my hero.

GFY GARRY!!

I think Hawthorn were also knocking on the door.Perhaps he would have been a multi premiership player had it not been for us?

So you're upset because he said something you admit to be true? Would it really make you feel better if he lied and said something "nice" about the club?

This could be the worst thread in Demonland history. Points so far have included that Garry Lyon can get stuffed because he thinks Hawthorn (the best team of the past 3 years) will comfortably beat u

Seriously JC, take a chill pill. Gary Lyon has been a great savant of our club and owes us nothing. It is ridiculous to blame Gary Lyon for our disappointments because he has chosen a different caree

Anyone who disagrees with the statement is merely frustrated that he's correct.

If he said we were actually a chance now that those 2 players are missing he'd be lambasted and rightly so.

Anyone who's read David Schwarz's book would know it would have been great to play alongside a leader like Lyon.

Any-one who read Schwarz's book will realise the MFC and football was just a means to feed his gambling habit.

Also think that Lyon was a good captain as long as you had a spot on Hollywood Boulevard.

Which Schwarz had.

Yeah don't understand the angst towards Lyon. He's a passionate demon and I think he fights it at times to be seen as more impartial.

I don't see anything particularly wrong with what he said, we're still a bottom rung team (albeit seemingly improving). We were just destroyed over the weekend by Freo, we will realistically be destroyed in a couple of weeks by the Hawks, with or without Lewis and Hodge.

I don't understand this perception that past players or media commentators should withhold their true views due to past allegiances. Mike Sheahan used to needlessly cop it too.

I want unfiltered views. I may not agree with them, but I want committed commentary. I don't want to hear Jonathan Brown going soft on the Lions, because he was their star player. I want him saying it like it is. I'll think he's full of it if he waters things down.

It's called "credibility".

Moronic thread.

No one watches, or admits to watching the Footy Show any more, but I record it every week and fast forward to the Melbourne bit.

Every week, especially in the last 2 years, Gaz pumps us up, especially the young kids lately. And he's come across genuinely excited after our last 2 wins in all the media he's got his head on.

So thanks, Gaz.

Deestroy All. I've read your post twice. I've come to the view that you watch the Footy Show but are struggling to admit that you do. Don't be ashamed, though. You're ahead of the posters who watch it but won't admit it at all.

Disclosure: I watched the Footy Show regularly when my football mad sons used to watch it with me. Personally, I think the producers erred by replacing a professional comedian (Trevor Marmalade) with a buffoon (Bill Brownless). I haven't watched it for about three or four years.

Garry owes nothing to this club.

He did his time and service with distinction. He was the leader and face of the club for years. He gave his back to club which is something that will hinder him the rest of his life.

His job now is in the media and not at the club.

Garry clearly still loves the club. I will happily admit that I watch the footy show and listen to him on triple m footy and he always goes into bat for the Dees every time he can but he is still honest about where they're at and how they're travelling. You can tell how much he hurts just like us when the club is failing on field.

Garry Lyon is not the one to blame for where the club is at

Haha this coming from a guy who posted the following about one of our own players....

"Who was it that tipped (a while ago) that he would retire early? I'm starting to see it now; sublimely skilled, but no ticker- was always that 1 important element away from greatness, but has now proven beyond a doubt that it isn't in him and can not be developed.

No club will trade for him, and we are probably at the point now that he can not hide anymore now that the whole team has developed a hardened edge.

My tip is he will be told when his contract is up that it will not be renewed. There is no point going through the indignity of being floated around for trade for nil interest, as all the cards have been put on the table, therefore an early retirement to focus on life outside football and save face for both parties. I can smell it."

Excuse me for my ignorance but who was this written about? Jack Watts, Cale Morton, Colin Sylvia?

Do you honestly think Melbourne are in the same ball park as Hawthorn? Like even with 5 goals of Hawthorn?

He helped appoint Neeld... Undoes a lot of good his done for the club

Nothing has even come close to undoing what Lyon did for this club. It's rediculous people blame Lyon for the appointment, is not the board to blame ?

For all his fine qualities , the plain truth is that our club would not exist today if the Lyon supported Merger of 1996 was successful . He was supporting his "little mate" ( Ian Ridley ) .

    REDEEMING by Meggs

    It was such a balmy spring evening for this mid-week BNCA Pink Lady match at our favourite venue Ikon Park between two teams that had not won a game since round one.   After last week’s insipid bombing, the DeeArmy banner correctly deemanded that our players ‘go in hard, go in strong, go in fighting’, and girl they sure did!   The first quarter goals by Alyssa Bannan and Alyssia Pisano were simply stunning, and it was 4 goals to nil by half-time.   Kudos to Mick Stinear.

    REDEEM by Meggs

    How will Mick Stinear and his dwindling list of fit and available Demons respond to last week’s 65-point capitulation to the Bombers, the team’s biggest loss in history?   As a minimum he will expect genuine effort from all of his players when Melbourne takes on the GWS Giants at Ikon Park this Thursday.  Happily, the ground remains a favourite Melbourne venue of players and spectators alike and will provide an opportunity for the Demons to redeem themselves. Injuries to star play

    EASYBEATS by Meggs

    A beautiful sunny Friday afternoon, with a light breeze and a strong Windy Hill crowd set the scene, inviting one team to seize the day and take the important four points on offer. For the Demons it was not a good Friday, easily beaten by an all-time largest losing margin of 65 points.   Essendon threw themselves into action today, winning most of the contests and had three early goals with Daria Bannister on fire.  In contrast the Demons were dropping marks, hesitant in close and comm

    DEFUSE THE BOMBERS by Meggs

    Last Saturday’s crushing loss to Fremantle, after being three goals ahead at three quarter time, should be motivation enough to bounce back for this very winnable Round 5 clash at Windy Hill. A first-time venue for the Melbourne AFLW team, this should be a familiar suburban, windy, footy environment for the players.   Essendon were brave and competitive last week against ladder leader Adelaide at Sturt’s home ground. A familiar name, Maddison Gay, was the Bombers best player with

    BLOW THE SIREN by Meggs

    Fremantle hosted the Demons on a sunny 20-degree Saturdayafternoon winning the toss and electing to defend in the first quarter against the 3-goal breeze favouring the Parry Street end. There was method here, as this would give the comeback queens, the Dockers, last use of the breeze. The Melbourne Coach had promised an improved performance, and we did start better than previous weeks, winning the ball out of the middle, using the breeze advantage and connecting to the forwards.

    GETAWAY by Meggs

    Calling all fit players. Expect every available Melbourne player to board the Virgin cross-continent flight to Perth for this Round 4 clash on Saturday afternoon at Fremantle Oval. It promises to be keenly contested, though Fremantle is the bookies clear favourite.  If we lose, finals could be remoter than Rottnest Island especially following on from the Dees 50-point dismantlement by North Melbourne last Sunday.  There are 8 remaining matches, over the next 7 weeks.  To Meggs’

    DRUBBING by Meggs

    With Casey Fields basking in sunshine, an enthusiastic throng of young Demons fans formed a guard of honour for the evergreen and much admired 75-gamer Paxy Paxman. As the home team ran out to play, Paxy’s banner promised that the Demons would bounce back from last week’s loss to Brisbane and reign supreme.   Disappointingly, the Kangaroos dominated the match to win by 50 points, but our Paxy certainly did her bit.  She was clearly our best player, sweeping well in defence.

    GARNER STRENGTH by Meggs

    In keeping with our tough draw theme, Week 3 sees Melbourne take on flag favourites, North Melbourne, at Casey Fields this Sunday at 1:05pm.  The weather forecast looks dry, a coolish 14 degrees and will be characteristically gusty.  Remember when Casey Fields was considered our fortress?  The Demons have lost two of their past three matches at the Field of Dreams, so opposition teams commute down the Princes Highway with more optimism these days.  The Dees held the highe

    ALLY’S FIELDS by Meggs

    It was a sunny morning at Casey Fields, as Demon supporters young and old formed a guard of honour for fan favourite and 50-gamer Alyssa Bannan.  Banno’s banner stated the speedster was the ‘fastest 50 games’ by an AFLW player ever.   For Dees supporters, today was not our day and unfortunately not for Banno either. A couple of opportunities emerged for our number 6 but alas there was no sizzle.   Brisbane atoned for last week’s record loss to North Melbourne, comprehensively out
