Watching hall of fame & seeing Hodge talk about his time at the hawks and the 4 flags in particular the 3 peat was all about how selfless he & the players were….we managed to do this for one season & watching May & Gawn it’s shows how far have we are off the pace, I hate pies but their players wouldn’t have yelled at their captain!

nah, the family club of hawthorn just tell their players to leave their pregnant partner or get her an abortion...

Well that’s a joke.

I would think Gary Lyon has done enough in the game to be included.

They must’ve heard you.

Congratulations Garry!!

Has been huge for not only MFC as a player but the media landscape in general. Putting aside what you think of him as a commentator, he's carved up a fine career in the media space.

Did his best work as a footy show host as well as the Triple M Saturday Rub team. Some of the best pre game radio you'll ever hear!

I think Melbourne have beentrying to get Garry in for years.

Also well done to daisy & to erin as well. Her dad was so proud of her tonight.

He really was a brilliant player. Long overdue.

great speech gaz

Saw some footage of Garry in his prime, pre back injuries. He was svelte, bounding around the half forward line and wings like some kind of eternally 5 o'clock shadowed adonis. Almost looked like a different person. Time robs us of many things, but Garry has found a way to persevere in the media if not in coaching (where he could have achieved real immortality if he wanted to), so well done to him. Everyone who knows AFL knows who Garry Lyon is, and there's not many you can say that about, much less from Melbourne.

Congrats to Lyon well deserved! Imagine Lyon, Schwartz, Neitz in the current team to fix fw50 issues

Amazing careers Garry and Daisy, both icons of the MFC and well deserved

About time Garry got acknowledged, well overdue. He was a game changer in his prime, being thrown forward, back or middle depending on circumstances.

His speech was great though I did compare his comment about he and Stynes thinking about their Brownlow ambitions vs Hodge's comment about moving to half back in 2008 for the good of the team.

Took way too long for Garry to get in but rapt that it has finally happened.

We forget just how good a player Garry was and maybe the back and hamstring injuries had something to do with it but for a skinny lad when he first came down he could certainly take a towering mark and launch it 50 plus metres through the big ones regularly.
