Get him off easy street in the media to have a crack at this pile of rabbits droppings of a club

If he gives two hoots he’ll have a crack, apparently was brilliant coaching the all stars back in the day.

Has a fantastic footy brain & a brilliant captain of the club

Unless we can get Clarko ?

    Yeah umm no.

    The last time he was involved seriously with the club, he brought Mark Neeld in.

    Garry is a passionate MFC supporter, but he should be nothing more or nothing less.

    "Selecting coaches is the toughest job of all," Lyon said. "I won't apologise for the decision ever. That is life. Unfortunately it didn't work."

    Translation: "My decision and the selection criteria were perfectly fine. It was the other guy who was crap."

    Got sucked in by the hype for Neeld in the media and Malthouse recommending Neeld, undermining Buckley by unloading assistant coaches before their coaching handover.
    There we're also a couple other clubs in the market for a coach at the time which made us a little too forken jumpy.

    I really like Garry in the media. He clearly understands and articulates our problems on field, whereas I listened to some absolute dribble from Derm today that made me think he hasn’t watched a single Melbourne game all year.

    But there is no chance he is coaching Melbourne.

    He has one the prerequisites for being a successful coach ... What does he have in common with the following multiple premiership coaches - Clarkson, Malthouse, Blight, Matthews? Yep, he's a total #%@ .

    You don’t need a good bloke matey mate with the players, these blokes are soft and need a hard  *rs* coach like Clarkson, Lyon or if willing Lyon.

    But no we will end up with Yze r the like

    One of the smartest footy brains out there, worth a chat.... IMO it would be something Gary thinks about considerably. 
    A great of the MFC, excellent leader.

    Rubbish he's a [censored] fence sitter. He's done enough to ruin the club. NO MORE!

    I dint think so. Coaches work hard for years to get a senior position. It is too late for him, could have maybe 10 years ago, but chose the media career.

    Can we please not back the truck over the whole Lyon/Neeld thing again? It's been done to death and those who have had the whole situation explained to them and are still banging on about it are just stubborn nuffies.

    Garry has always said he doesn't have the abilities or passion to coach an AFL team, it's not going to happen. I'm also not sure why he seems to be the one former player Melbourne people are obsessed with as far as their involvement with the club goes.

    IF (and it's a big if) we are looking for a new coach next year it could only be:

    1) Ross Lyon

    2) Clarko with Yze as successor

    No way MFC goes for another untried coach straight up.

    How can he be a fence sitter and and have made decisions to ruin the club?

    You're either pregnant or your not.

    Choosing Bailey ahead of Sheedy and choosing Neeld. He brought the club to it's knees. The biggest know nothing footballer of all time. Just ask him it wasn't his fault couldn't be.

    FFS he was asked for advice, that may have been rubbish but the buck stops with the decision makers at the club at the time. Schwab, the Board and Jimmy have to wear those decisions. To me when looking for the root cause for that disastrous period I always end up looking at Schwab, Connelly to some extent and unfortunately Jimmy who didn’t realise Schwab was a toxic influence on recruiting and football operations.

    Don't tell me Lyon didn't choose the coach? It simply isn't true. He was the main man Jimmy went looking to.

    Garry had already said he didn't have the experience or knowledge to be involved, then his dying best mate asked him to step in.

    You're criticizing him for that with pretty over the top language. That's a pathetic effort IMO.

    You may be right but Lyon to my knowledge was not on the board or employed in the FD, he was asked to provide a consulting role to advise on coach selection. Consultants advise, management ultimately wears the decision. By the way I can’t remember all the detail but I was comfortable with the Bailey appointment, I reckon he could coach but was under resourced and undermined by Schwab and I still believe the Neeld appointment was influenced by Schwab who wanted a newby he could control. No way he would have accepted a Sheedy appointment in my opinion. In short the problem was Schwab and his interference in the FD, specifically in coaching appointments and draft selections.

    He should not have done it. he brought the club to it's knees he showed there and then that he knows nothing about football picking those 2 he should have learned the first time choosing Bailey. He is someone we don't need at the club and should steer way clear of.

    He was a great player and most people like yourself can't get past that but he knows nothing about the modern game.

    Garry didn’t pick Bailey. A Panel including Nathan Burke made that call

    • 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.

    • GAMEDAY: West Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons have a chance to notch up their third consecutive win — something they haven’t done since Round 5, 2024. But to do it, they’ll need to exorcise the Demons of last year’s disastrous trip out West. Can the Dees continue their momentum, right the wrongs of that fateful clash, and take another step up the ladder on the road to redemption?
