I’ll have another listen, thoughts that’s what I heard. I like Garry, it was just a comment. I do find it funny that you thought that was an attack though, how thin skinned we are these days.

Pretty clearly misquoting something to try and imply Lyon doesn't want to be considered a Melbourne person is an attempt to have a crack at him. I'll take your word for it that's what you thought you heard originally though.

Re: Pick 3 - haven't had a first round in years. good quality in top 10. would look at deal with pick 3 to split pick.

Interesting caveat on that...he said for 2 picks in the top 10.

...but happy to go with pick 3.

Lol cool man, that means a lot to me.

Love how Josh Mahoney is so matter of fact about things, unlike half the other footy managers.

I am very happy with attempts to improve our line-up with Langdon (wingman and great runner), Tomlinson (depth and tall swingman - not keen on him playing wing though) , Elliott (playing out of goalsquare, although he's not across the line yet) plus by the sounds of it either a quality kicking half-back in Hayden Young or a hard-working, good kicking small in Caleb Serong with pick three.

But ultimately our list management team (not sure how much input Todd Viney has on it this year) has set up Goody for either a nice bounce back or an alarming fall should the moves not win the fans over.

Part of that reason is that the two most vilified regular players at the club (ANB and Oscar) are both still at the club and a fan favourite in Sam Frost has been effectively shown the door.  

Ignore the fact that OMac had another year on his contract, if the club wanted him to move on, they would have found a way - clubs are very shrewd with this kind of thing.

So all this builds the appetite for an intriguing year and one that will be very much about our coach - success or failure.

Update?

Seems to be at odds with your intel ?

Playing his cards close to his chest as usual I'd say.

He sounds like a Melbourne man alright. Half the posts on Demonland are supremely negative.

That's the most interesting point from the interview.  

Who could offer us 2 top 10 picks?

A deal with gws and GC to get 9&11??

I don't get the Lyon hatred either. How was he to know that Neeld would be a dud. We all were very hopeful when he was appointed as he was sold as the Mastermind behind Malthouse and Collingwood's midfield. Our club was a mess from top to bottom at the time and Garry had our best interests at heart. Not every move is a winning move and this one certainly turned to poo but it's not as if it was solely his fault and it seems that he now gets demonised for this one act and people forget the champion that he was. If he's negative about this club in the media then he is no different to 98% of Dees fans on this site and elsewhere.

Can't wait to see O Mac bursting out of defence with the ball next year. I'm sure his delivery will be so much better than Frosty.

Funnily enough, it's his best attribute. 

Great kick for a key defender. 

All other attributes are less than desirable. 

JM showed total disrespect for Frosty with his comments so can see why hes on the outer now........Daming comments reflecting on AVB & KK as well.

Snout in the trough stuff.....

Ed and Adam........   Hope they are with us ASAP or for me it would be sleepless nights.

The other  player we can go after to help Tmac is a tall forward with good hands and can kick goals .Oh  he has been known to take pack marks  can break packs and plays on confidence.You know the purple patches type. His name is Sam they call him the WEID.

The phantom wears purple.............

The ting i found very intersting when Garry asked about Assistant and development coaches, JM said there will be no more coaches.. Just Richo and the Casey coach being a development coach... surely that cannot be correct.

Maybe holding out for Yze the year after? He'll be out of contract then.

Was also involved in the Sheedy rejection for Bailey in 2007.  Has history.  No hatred just not sure why the club felt it necessary to go back to the well again after that fail selection.

Garry is interested in MFC goings on and no doubt still loves the club.  A good listen with the analytics but his heart and profession (ie; what he takes seriously and where his skills lie) are with his media career.

Not Garry's fault he was selected twice either.  Poor leadership / decision making up top...yet again.

Until this club gets a Brendan Gale type heading it who has & sets a clear vision then drives the entire club towards those set goals we will most likely continue to flounder / dead cat bounce.

Very safe kick after taking an eternity to sum up his safest short option. Provides absolutely no run, much less burst out of defence. 

If we’re playing Oscar as a second KPD, we’re in trouble.

Yze being interviewed for the Adelaide job and Scott Burns has withdrawn from applying. Ooze may be heading south. 

Re OMac maybe the plan is to play him up forward this season. Experiment was on show late in the season

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • POSTGAME: Geelong

    The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
