Good on him!

Not easy to 'get back on the horse' so to speak.  Wish him well and look forward to seeing him talk footy again.

good that he won't have to play the fool any more

[DeeSpencer 23,417]

Good for him. Hoping he gets his life back on track and can be rightfully inducted to the AFL hall of fame.

Does that mean he will now pick The Dees in the celebrity footy tipping? ?

[Sir Why You Little 34,819]

I say that every day!! Churn out more telly

Not suprised he is not working with the Brownless moron...

[special robert 438]

This news is just so exciting I will have difficulty sleeping tonight. Yawn.

Gary Lyon’s back? Again? My god, when will that injury go away. We would’ve won a granny if it weren’t for Gary's back.

[Pates 9,537]

Definitely a good move to stay well away from the footy show. For one I don't know that he would be particularly welcome back, but Billy has kept his spot in that team and I can't see them patching things up for a while.

I wish him luck as he tries to rebuild his life and reputation.

Great news! getting back to work seems to make a massive difference to those with depression. 

all the best Gaz.

Don't you mean 'back up on the fence' where he likes to sit

His back  has always been an issue but shouldn't stop him from being on the box with Caro..

I see what you did there.

Call me cynical, but the coincidence was that Garry announced his depression right on-cue (when Bill found his slippers under the bed).  And before those sanctimonious start coming to the defense of the depressed, just make sure you stood up for the hammering Mitch Clark got on here.

Garry once had the aura and reputation of a great leader and sharp footy brain.  I think the "great leader" remains somewhat, but his credibility as a sharp footy brain with authority and integrity has surely eroded.  This guy was instrumental in the worst coaching appointment in living memory  Full stop.  Hindsight is an excuse.  Smart people knew Neeldy's appoint was a joke at the time.  On Footy Classified, Garry has often commented on the integrity of footballers, and "taking ownership for your actions" or words to that effect.  His base is eroded.  He can comment, but with eroding authority.

But hey.  As long as he picks Melbourne in the tips, that's all that most of us care about.

If I watch FC, it will be for Lloyd (on-field) and Caro (off-field).   Maybe I might watch the 'closing cook' as long as he finally looks at himself.

I think that most of us just want to see a former great Melbourne Footballer get his life back on track.

You almost had me until "Lloyd (on-field)"...

That seems like an incredibly stupid idea from Hird, and he's done some pretty dumb things in recent years. The doping saga is still really fresh in everyone's minds, hell Watson only handed back his medal like a week ago, how he and any potential network can possibly think he would have support of listeners (aside from blind Essendon fans) is beyond me. 

He needs to leave the AFL bubble for some time and let things breathe, I can guarantee you if I heard his voice on commentary or on a radio show I would switch off.

And seriously Gary, really? You're trying to rebuild your reputation, why would even come near that train wreck?

.. could not agree more..

Nobody seeking to rebuild their reputation (Lyon) or audience ( SEN) should go anyway near James Hird. 

Seiously at best the man shirked his duty of care to his players - at worst he is a blight on the game

OK - so he is articulate- and knows something about footy - but to promote him - and expect your audience to respect his commentary is irrational 

We'll know your well again Gary when you  leave the boy's club behind!

Now Mitchell, Hird and Gaz together might be a bit of fun. Throw in Watson and Carro and we got another Show.
