Garry Lyon & Bill Brownless Feud

[Mach5 4,490]

These 2 have allegedly had a severe falling out and at one is very unlikely to return to the Footy Show, if not both.

Could be anything, but judging by the way I've seen one of the two have a crack at anything that moves, and the other have a similar reputation, I'm not surprised.

Interesting, have heard similar 'Mach'...

A story brewing big time. Word doing the traps is Lyon may have gotten a rad cosy with Nicky.

Google image search + Occam's razor + Billy's comment = 3

If true -  confirms everything I've thought about Gary for the past 10 years -  selfish, arrogant, [censored].

No they can't. Read the code of conduct.

Didn't even know there was a code of conduct - I'm overseas and can't access, but thanks Doc.

Billy surely is not much different by comparison. Many times I've witnessed some less-than-savoury public behaviour by that man.

Not big on details. 

It's from Robinson.

The two have had a massive falling-out.

Brownless says unlikely to be able to repair friendship.

Neither of them are currently booked for the footy show and they don't know which of them, if any, will be involved this year.

Both are contracted to MMM, but on different shows.

Brownless has had a tough year including a few stupid comments getting called in the media and his wife leaving him. 

That's about it.

Oh my.... Could spell the end for the Footy Show!

SEN article

That SEN article is a magnificent example of how to spell something out without ever mentioning it.

Bill hasn't always been the most loyal of husbands if you know what I mean...

Which, if it happens would prove to be a momentous boost for the standard of Australian television.

I guess I'll just have to keep watching something else on a Thursday night...

From some of what goes on around here I'm not surprised you didn't know there was a code of conduct. It's a thread towards the top on the Melbourne Demons forum page.

Thanks for that RalphiusMaximus, interesting stuff..

I remember seeing Brownless in public a few years ago and someone yelled out in genuine confusion, "HEY LOOK, ITS JASON DUNSTALL!"

Billy wasn't too happy after that

Really cant wait for the footy !!

Could not give a rats ass. In the case of these two, less is more

See Robbo has put this story out and I knew once I read it all sorts of stuff will start to spread and rumours will happen. But I wonder when the feud erupted because once footy finishes its a joke on radio that Garry becomes a recluse and doesnt speak to anyone off season and Bill has been away most of the summer. 

anyway it will be interesting to see how this does affect the footy show. Its well known the producer spoke to both Sam and Bill about there behavior so this could be a way out to move Bill. 

The person stuck in the middle of this will be JB.

As a North man he should be used to it...

Good, happy to see Brownless off the air. Terrible dad's mate humour that got old 20 years ago.

If it spells the end of the Footy Show, thank god for that.

When I went back to Oz in 2010 after 6 years away, I wasn't used to the new line up so I found some of their schtick relatively fresh (Up till that point, I was still used to Eddie and Trev) . It was all Garry on the stretcher, Garry doing the warning dance, Garry being hairy. 
Then I saw it again... and again... and again... 
Then I saw all the lazy use of YouTube footage.
Then I saw Sam Newman remind me of the good old days when you could actually racially vilify people or humiliate them on the grounds of gender.
Then I wondered WTF I was actually watching. How people have watched it for ten years since has got me scratching my head.
