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.

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.

Why when you make sense. No shooting you down.

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session.
