Garry Lyon is no saint......however, just do what I do & that is turn the sound down on the telly & put the ABC on.

Easy solution.

Can I please watch a football game without Garry Lyon constantly putting a downer on the demons. Followed this awesome club for nearly 40 years now. Sick of hearing his sarcastic [censored] commentary and putrid comments. [censored] Him off from anything involving the demons annoys me so much. We know we aren’t playing well don’t need a constant reminder from this [censored]

Better off by putting tele on mute and listening to cd's whilst watching the game

 

I agree that Lyon is a terrible commentator and footy pundit in general.

Unfortunately he's charismatic and surface level smart, do he has always been able to cruise through without doing any work. He's lazy and unaccountable.

As such, he's a very, very superficial analyst. He knows the general things to say so that he doesn't get caught out, but his lack of preparation is very obvious.

Yeah I know we haven’t been great but he is extremely negative.

100% disagree. Maybe when it comes to other teams, I don’t listen that closely, but when he talks Melbourne he obviously watches very closely as a fan/former player and his thoughts are often very similar to how I’m feeling.

Garry was spot on today. We should all be applauding him. He cares

some of our cream puff supporters just cannot handle reality. 

Jones and Viney should walk out tonight...

 

I agree with he OP. Every time I hear him speak I want to ask him if we'd be better off with a school-teacher at the helm. My near favourite player growing up behind Jako and Tingay. Lost all credit points with me. I would be embarrassed enough to the point of refusing to comment on the woes of a club if I nearly helped to personally destroy it.

i see what you mean but at this point, i could not care less. 

eddie mcguire grinds my gears more than Garry, 

(P.S. love Garry's morning radio show with Tim Watson, he is quite good on that if you gave it a listen)

He will change his tune when we start playing afl level footy. We are a disgrace and a footy team with no skill which is pathetic. 

Lyon is probably frustrated like all of us hence his remarks.

Gday Goodie!

 

”awesome” “club”

Whilst Lyon is often right in his opinion that Melbourne suck, and he clearly loves the club, the biggest issue I have is that he offers no remedy.  "Melbourne's skills are deplorable", "Melbourne get killed on turnover", "Melbourne are one way runners", etc etc.  It's the same commentary whether it's SEN Breakfast, On the Couch or Match day.  Tell us what needs to be done to fix it!!  What is your blueprint, Garry?

What did he achieve as captain

Yeah how dare a former captain of the club and team of the century player whose job it is to commentate say things about the club he played for. Worst thread ever.

What did Garry achieve as captain - not a lot more than our current team to be totally honest.  If anything Garry should be able to offer a much better insight into the performance of our team this season that a lot of commentators, because in his time as captain our team alternated between top four world beaters and bottom four cellar dwellers very much like our team has this season.

I agree that fair call for him to call out some of the things we are not doing right, but it did seem to drag on and on.  I do think it was reasonably well balanced with some praise for individual players like Fritta, Trac, May and a few others.  Listening to Cameron Ling last week was far worse IMHO, all Ling seemed to do was bag us from start to finish.

At the end of the day, I think it has a fair bit to do with the mental state that I'm in as a supporter.  To be honest, the longer the season has gone on, I've found my attitude to our performancesite to be more apathetic than at any time I recall as a supporter.  I don't think we are in as dire straights as a team going forward as our ladder position would suggest, but it's been getting harder to get enthused about us either when we haven't been able to recapture winning form in the back end of the season.  I'm at a point where whilst I do want to see us win, I'll be quite happy for this season to end and be done with it and I sense our players are pretty much in the same space too.

I really find this thread to be so disrespectful on lots of levels. Be great if this could be closed, why is Garry singled out? its a thread that is really just set up to pot an ex champ of the club.. but that seems pretty typical at the moment.

This club could only dream of having a captain like him at the moment.

Its not his job. his job is to comment on the good or the bad. perhaps direct your anger towards the coaches in charge.

Lyon said nothing wrong, all he was doing is correctly commenting on areas we are failing in. And hot tip we are failing in a lot of areas.

Two that spring to mind are we cant score and we can't defend (We kept the pies to 70 points weee)

I don't agree he has to blindly barrack like the other morons in the media

No anger, just an observation. His comments are superfluous because we can all see what's wrong. The fact is, he gets good coin to state the obvious.  Good luck to him.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

    Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
