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!

The OP has nothing to do with the Hall of Fame inductees

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


 

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.

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.

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.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

  • POSTGAME: Carlton

    A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
