    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.

    Nothing to do with my thoughts on him as a player, all to do with your disgraceful comments about someone doing a favour for their dying mate. You go sit next to the bed of your cancer-ridden best mate and tell them "no" as they beg you to help.

    Stop trying to be an outraged internet person and be a grown up.

    Paul Gardner was President when Bailey was appointed

    Garry was front and centre with Neeld

    Being a strong critical mouthpiece in the media is pretty easy, but...

    Garry probably not the bloke to bring the sort of clarity, direction and strength of leadership that we need from a coach

    I was told this by an ex assistant coach at the Dees back in 2015 when we bumped into him while we were having beers and a BBQ just before new years eve in Corowa. He comes up every year during the summer period by the Murray with his family.

    Melbourne sought out Ross Lyon, Michael Malthouse and also Alistair Clarkson at the time. The theme was to go for an experienced coach as the board felt the players needed a fair shake up by a good hard taskmaster.

    When they spoke to Ross Lyon he declined as he had already told the club that he had committed to the saints. Garry Lyon and Ross Lyon shared the same manager in Craig Kelly, and Kelly even told Lyon that Ross had verbally committed to the saints but just hadn't signed as of yet. Ross then behind everyone's back has a secret meeting with the dockers and the rest is history. Even his manager Craig Kelly was caught completely off guard. Melbourne wanted him, but Ross had bigger things going on.

    Clarkson was offered a huge package deal. Garry Lyon and to a degree Stynes really pushed Clarkson hard, but he was contracted at the time and knew that a dynasty was only around the corner.

    Lyon then spoke to Malthouse. Mick had already confirmed that he was taking time off coaching (this was in 2011 after he finished up at the pies) and instead was looking at going into the media. It was there that Malthouse Apparently gave a glowing and raving endorsement about one of his young and up and coming assistant coaches in Mark Neeld.

    After the Dees missed out on their targeted experience men, they then changed their direction and interviewed the likes of Brendan McCartney, Alan Richardson and Mark Neeld.

    The rest is history as they say. 

    All I will say is Garry Lyon tried what every melbourne supporter wanted at the time and that was go for the experienced coach we needed. Unfortunately we just ran out of options it seems. I dont blame Garry for the Neeld [censored] up.

    If the favour was to destroy a team then don't do it. Jimmy was desperate. We were and still are short of leaders Lyon and Flower were the only 2 supporters believed in. He knew he was out of his depth. Lyon broke my heart destroying the side I love I can't trust him ever again. I was shattered when they didn't go for Sheedy.

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

    Seriously, had enough of this agenda against him, fair enough you didnt like the decision with Neeld, he has said he got it wrong, you dont even have to like him, but he hasnt ruined the club and to suggest otherwise is just ignorance of the highest order. This is the problem with a large portion of teh supporter base, they look for blame everywhere else in stead of teh core of the club.

    Although tonight’s performance is as Garry says, he will forever be remembered for bringing in Neeld. To begin a complete deestroyation of the MFC. That’s some sort of legacy, Garry.

    Gary head coach. Ox & Neita forward coach, Jackovich kicking, Alistair Nicholson defense, Travis Johnstone midfield. Troy Chaplin promoted to head of football dept. What could go wrong?

    It's almost as if they're better suited to waving pom poms than making public comments.

    His time has passed. 

    This won't be popular but I don't think jumping on the coaching carousel again is the answer.

    It was a disgraceful tweet. Thankfully they took it down after his brother gave them a serve.

    Of course he is fair game, but your vitriol is misguided and narrow minded. Instead of the set you have against him, open your eyes and move on and acknowledge that the club has more pressing problems than a past player who appointed a bad coach a while ago... you see Carlton did that twice with Malthouse and Bolton.. yet they have moved on and are getting it together, St Kilda did it twice, they have moved on, the Lions did it twice, they have moved on.

    I suggest you move on...

    Yes indeed. He was a Gun player. 
    What Daz wrote above is what i heard, Neeld wasn’t the only candidate approached, Ross Lyon and Clarkson were  hunted...

    And Garry had nothing to do with the Bailey appointment, Dean would have been a great Coach if the Club itself wasn’t so unstable at the time

    Rubbish Lyon admitted on Radio when he was on MMM that he picked Bailey and it was a mistake. Your only saying that because he is dead he was a ****house coach let the players run all over him.

    Oh really, you’re a mind reader now. 
    Paul Gardner was The President when Bailey was appointed. The appointment was via a panel. 
    we should have chosen Sheedy, but that was not Dean’s fault

    I am sure Dean thinks highly of you too

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
