I'll take Garrys word over some of these 2nd rate journo's who were carrying on about this over the weekend.

Is he still 'well connected' at the club?

I think people need to let this one go.

I was suggesting that Gary's judgement is not without flaw Mr Land. His opinion on Bennells calf is no better than many others. Simply because he is an x champion / captain of the MFC does not IMP make him any more credible than numerous others in the media.

What if Garry is good mates with Dr Peter Brukner and gets the medical diagnosis first hand?

“I believe the calf is not as bad as some doomsayers are suggesting and that he may be running as early as tomorrow,” he (Garry Lyon) told SEN Breakfast.

“He’s still got a lot of work to do obviously, he’s a mile away from getting back into it.

“There were reports when he did the calf that this what it and it was the end and all that sort of stuff, but it’s my understanding that he could be running tomorrow.”

Media reports that said calf injury is not as bad as that reported by media. I'm glad we cleared that up.

If he does make it his nickname should definitely be Starman

For those wishing to dig deeper into the allegory.... search the Golden Calf of 1912

I had to look this one up online to discover the link DJ. Some great miming on Top of the Pops back in the day.

Actually, back in the day, all songs performed on TOTP had to be re-recorded at the BBC studios. Musician's Union rules at the time. The vocals were then done live over this re-recorded backing. Sometimes, BBC engineers were known to slip off to the pub during these "re-recording" sessions, which would then miraculously end-up sounding identical to the record/vinyl.

Thanks for enlightening me Bing. I didn't know that.

Good chance he is.

Now there is one thing we can definitely agree on.

Well Sen should sack him then! obliviously knows nothing about football. Anyway Garry took it on the advice of Mick Malthouse, that Neeld would make a excellent coach, and who would doubt Malthouse Neeld was the midfield coach of their premiership team. I bet you were, one of the ones to cheer his heavy handedness towards the players.

You will not find that comment from me. History shows he was an unmitigated disaster. This all started because someone said they trusted Garry Lyons opinion more than most media commentators. I just don't believe this is necessarily so. End of story.

Isn't hindsight of wonderful thing that's where you live,so anytime you don't agree with Gary, you just going to bring that up again to reinforce your ordinary argument, that's why they called cheap shots cheap

Anyway,  this morning Tim Watson asked Gary if he has had recent contact the Harley, and Gary said he is in personal contact with Harley, so don't agree with you, no! I use facts and listen from the people first hand,  not from a opinion  with prejudice, it's not a opinion. So look outside and if it's raining you can't say no it's not raining, but I am not wrong it's just my opinion, no your wrong.

  • REPORT: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front.  They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
