I actually think the AFL as a whole should be run by a panel of people rather than one person (I understand Gill has people underneath him), club representatives, former greats of the games and a couple of punters who love their respective clubs.

 

Like the existing AFL Executive, you mean?

Official Channel 9 Statement:

“Garry Lyon will stand down from his various media duties while he seeks treatment for an ongoing mental health condition.

“For several months The Footy Show and Footy Classified co-host has been suffering from a serious mental health condition and he will take time out from all media roles to recover. There is no set time frame as to when he will return to television.

“We are all supporting Garry and hope he will be back to good health very soon. Our priority is his wellbeing. Garry has our full support. From here on, it’s a private and personal matter and we ask that be respected.”

The Footy Show will return next month. James Brayshaw will host the show solo until Garry is fit to return. 

Damian Barrett will fill in for Garry on Footy Classified during his absence

All the best on your recovery Garry. You'll always be considered a legend of the club unlike many of the keyboard heroes on here.

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

He's got form. Several rumours about him having a crack at the partners of his former team mates. Not good.

Modra was the same, apparently. Worse in fact.

Word has it, Wayne Carey had some form in this regard too ...

I hope they don't start using mental illness as a 'catch phrase' to cover up behaviour that don't want to discuss. 

A bitter dispute now turns into a mental illness??? I doubt the illness caused a dispute or is this a way for Gary to be sidelined(suspended) for awhile and no one question it or him on his return??

No real need to release a statement, Gary should've just went fishing up Marlo for a few weeks, it would've died down. A lot of these media types seem to think they are getting on the front foot these days, but they aren't, they are making it worse. I don't know what Gary's problem, and its not my business, but he isn't helping himself claiming a mental illness at a time when speculation is surrounding his personal life.

It is.  Gill is CEO but the AFL is run by the commission.  That's a big part of the problem.  There are a bunch of self-important twerps sitting in a boardroom who don't understand that their job is to facilitate the playing and viewing of the competition, rather than dictate how, when and if it is played.

It's the old "polite euphemism," like a young single woman going to visit with relatives in the country.  For nine months or so.

I'm tipping the "keyboard heroes " on here have never kicked a football in anger for the Melbourne football club. So........ Yeah you may be right there mo. Well thought out !!!!!!

 Back to the thrust of the thread,  good riddance to Billy Boofhead. He was an embarrassment and on of the principal reasons I stopped watching that nonsense a long time ago.

a one off bad behaviour can rend in bitter,,,,  a series of trails can suggest a chronic situation out of control.

life can be tough, with surprising twists & turns.

 

oh, & does anyone agree that SWaugh is a selfish prikkkk ?  should have been sorted out decades back that lad!!! :)

Let me try.

"What are you lot talking about? It's supposed to be a football show, talking about all things football. Don't bore me with your dribble if you've got nothing of value to offer!"

Some of the posts on here are despicable , Gary was nearly crippled at the end of his playing days he's one of our all time greats that could've gone to any club in his prime he spilled blood for our jumper some people are a disgrace.

Sounds like a serious matter to me... not a FS publicity stunt. I have full respect for GL as a Legend of MFC. Private lives are private. Many of us have made mistakes with relationships and family. I'm not going to cast a stone. The tone of these reports suggest serious personal issues. I choose to step back, without offering an opinion. Gary is an MFC great. We should support him, and his family, as best we can from a distance.

Could this possibly mean that the Footy Show might actually present some football personnel who will ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT THE FOOTY!!?!?? I am one of the rare ones who actually likes Garry Lyon as a footy person and a Melbourne person, but the Footy Show is the worst kind of TV show. Yes, it has a strong history, involves high profile footy people but is such an outdated product which relies on mudraking and piggy-backing onto ex-football juvenile adults that it is simply impossible to wwtch. Excruciating in fact.

We at Demonland wish Garry a speedy recovery from his illness. 

We will return to the subject of his health as the circumstances allow but for the time being it's best that discussion be closed.

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

We'll break down the Match SIM against North Melbourne and wrap up the preseason with insights into training and our latest recruits.

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne

    After an agonizingly long off-season the 2025 AFL Premiership Season is almost upon us and the Demons have their first practice hit out against the Kangaroos in a match simulation out at Arden Street. The Demons will take on the Kangaroos in match simulation play, starting from 10am AEDT and broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo. The play start time was brought forward from the initial 11am bounce, due to the high temperatures forecast.  The match sim will consist of four 25-minute qu
