did anyone see footy classified tonight? a couple of things G Lyon said tonight which would interest people...

the first one was he defended the club tonight. Hutchy said that we were the next Fitzroy as far as the shape of the club, and Gary put him in his place pretty quick smart, describing the statement as "Sensationalist", noting how we've recently wiped half our debt. Admitted we weren't in the best shape and things need to improve, but we're far from panic stations yet as Hutchy tried to "sensationalise".

the second issue was Caro and Hutchy asked him if he would become president of the MFC... he all but ruled it out, stating that he was not the type of person who could be chairman of a football club... he said he didn't have the skills, he spoke his mind too much, would not be able to negotiate and liase with people like the chairman of a football club should... he saw his valuable skills in the football domain, and said he was currently contributing to the club in the manner which he feels he can best contribute... it was illuded to by the other members of the panel that he would/could help heal the many riffs that exist between different stakeholders of the MFC...

that IS interesting, I have seen so many discussions where people have been having a go at Lyon for not doing more for the club.. maybe he has gotten wind of this and felt it best to give some sort of public explanation in this dark time... and if his excuse is that he would just be plain rubbish at it then you can't argue with that

I really get the impression that Lyon is working really hard behind the scenes and will help get the club back to being 1 club, not a club with fractions all ove the joint.

I loved seeing his eyes when he was having a go at hutchy, there was true fire and anger in there!

there was true fire and anger C84, and i really liked what he said...the other members of the panel were quick to remind him of his article but then stated that it was basically a cry for help, that melbourne need help, but we are not in a position that cant be rectified. i do now believe that he is doing a lot to help the club, the fact that he organised a meeting with PG, when he was worried about the departure of Steve Harris, to see if PG was going in the right direction, shows that he really cares...i also liked his response to the question about what he actually does for the club, as he said that he is really trying behind the scenes to help but doesnt feel the need to tell everyone what he is doing

I found it quite sad to hear last night that so many past greats of the club have been burnt and don't want to return. We need to present a united front, and if Gary can help reunite the various factions within the club that would be fantastic.

On an unrelated note, Hutchy is a pathetic sensationalist that needs a good kick to the head.

let this shut the people up in here that are very happy to bag Garry. It's quite clear that he is doing something very positive, and i have no doubt that what he is doing, will be a huge help to our club. For people to have eluded in the last week or so that he does not care and does not do enough should hang their heads in shame. He bleeds red and blue, and has done since he first pulled on the mighty jumper.

He, along with a group of past players will help revive our club. I for one would liek to start a motion that if you want to bag past champions (and that is any one who has pulled on a jumper) then i suggest you go elsewhere!

good again from g. lyon tonight on the footy show...

stating how talks of melbourne merging/relocating were just ridiculous and the club is not going anywhere...

as i've said all along G.Lyon has been doing a hell of a lot behind the scenes with the Demons, along with Jimmy Stynes who hopefully will be the next Chairman

Why doesn't G.Lyon join the MFC board and make a real contribution to the Club he loves?

appreciate Garry's comments on Monday and Thursday nights. He may not want to be Chairman, for reasons he stated, but would be great on the Board. Common on Garry , PLEASE.... the club/supporters NEED YOU. It's called survival

I think thats a pretty fair question.. I can see that maybe he doesnt want the chief job... but a board position I would think a natural ...perhaps.

good question.

G Lyon is a country Boy who played Footy. He's not a chairman. Put Him and stynesy on the board along with the Football Dept. Ron Walker as Chairman. Maybe we could get some $$$ from Bernie Ecclestone! Send him a scarf Brilliant!!!

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
