Our club has always had a questionable culture. Now Jack Watts is being blamed for not making the finals. The Ox has has always maintained his rage. Mr  Lyon always makes excuses, and blames others. Look at Richmond, ex footballer who became laywer = chief exec. turned club around by trust. Mr Lyon became a celeb and enjoyed what came with it.

  

 I've read this about ten times over and still cannot decipher it. You must have had a few nose beers before you wrote this. 

 

I did find Lyon frustrating this year when he suggested that any club looking for a new coach should look no further than our own Craig Jennings. I considered it inappropriate behaviour for a so-called "Melbourne man" as it was disrupting and had the potential to weaken the MFC. I understand that is his job, but we would never see K.B doing something similar.

In all honesty, I use to love him but he's since soured in my view. I just don't like listening to him on radio. I don't like listening to his "jock-like" attitude and how he treats the young Sam McClure (granted he's an adult and handles himself well). I also don't like how he sits on the fence. Sometimes he seems highly supportive of the MFC, while at other times his criticism can be toxic. I guess a lot of us feel the same with this MFC rollercoaster. In comparison, I look at (listen to) K.B, or previously Jim Stynes and Robbie Flower and it (the rollercoaster) didn't matter. They are/were one-eyed and supportive. They have/had an ability to constantly offer hope whilst uniting the club and fans. I just wish Lyon would use his media position/privilege a little better at times.

Now feel free to shoot me down, I know it's coming.

Good glad it's not just me then.

currently being put through Colossus .....yet to see it's  iteration of sense !!

Perhaps he meant go from the media? Regardless, G Lyon is probably one of the most damaging ex-clubman going around. Unlike Richo who has an undying love for this former club and will never say a bad word about them, G Lyon thinks Melbourne were fortunate to have him and he's always the first to kick us when we're down in the media. To add further salt to the wound, he assisted with the hiring of Mark Neeld. 

Would we ask G Lyon to present the premiership cup next year? Hell no. 

I loved  him as a player. Since then I've had a couple of personal interactions with Mr Lyon.

But as a result of these interactions, my love for the bloke is but a distant memory. Genuine s#@% bloke.

 Kevin Sheedy would have been a better fit at the time but Lyon disapproved.      Gary Dyon our club away.

We were, Lyon was a superstar and loyal. Got a huge offer to jump to Richmond when Swooper was coach and knocked it back. Easily one of the most talented and hard working players i have seen. It's a disgrace he is not in the AFL Hall of fame.
 

I wish Garry Lyon would just shut up. He says he barracks for the club so why on earth is he encouraging Fremantle to throw big money at Jesse Hogan. Without a Key Forward we will go backwards no Forwards. You can't expect Tom McDonald to turn into the sole Key Forward straight away. I just hope when we are ready to challenge for a premiership & we win one he is not asked to present it. This would be a bad look


Lyon is a [censored] that bags Watts at every opportunity, last time he interviewed Nate Jones started trying him to get Jones to bag him as well, can't stand the guy's voice. Roots his best mate's missus then pretends to have depression.

I agree there was no depression. If there was depression it was guilt of being caught

Why when you make sense. No shooting you down.

  • REPORT: St. Kilda

    When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

  • CASEY: Sandringham

    The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
    Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
