Why doesn't Garry Lyon run for the Demons committee.
He's got a lot to say for someone with no official role. All care and no responsibility. Who was on the panel that appointed Dean Bailey as coach = Garry Lyon, when Kevin Sheedy and Damien Hardwick were applicants. When it comes to appointing a coach, it would appear that Greater Western Sydney have a few more clues than Garry Lyon.
Take Paul MacNamee. Someone with a bit of vision, drive and flair = shafted by the club. Even Barassi couldn't rescuscitate the corpse that is Melbourne.
Zero sympathy. Why are a rabble like this keeping out a Tasmanian team? Or a third WA team?
Hear Hear Nulla : )
I think they have done the right thing sacking the coach. He had 4 years to get things moving and his time is up.
Jim Stynes has done a fabulous job with the Dees to date so bring on Todd Viney for the remainder of the year.
Carlton this week, watch us win : )
The problem with Melbourne is Jim Stynes. You can't run a club with a president who is sick like that. He should not have put himself in that position, nor should the board have allowed him to stay. In his own mind, he is an inspiration. In reality, he is battling for his life.
I hope he recovers and does well. But he should have been let go, not Bailey. It's the most ridiculous situation I've ever seen in footy.
Well thats the problem nomore4s, 2 years of no change when we have paid our debts and have young talented players. I could understand it in 2009 but not now. Losses like that shouldnt happen.
He has taken on a coaching role, the pressures on, thats the way it is.
As for Jim Stynes, he loves the Club and is an inspiration to all. I dont think he would even consider not being there. Good to see Lyons coming forward to help.
Fair enough not extending his contract at seasons end but to over-react to one very bad loss and send the club into turmoil is not a good sign. How guys like Schwab and Connolly have escaped the axe is also a bit of a mystery, obviously a bit of a boys club down there and I'm not sure Lyon is going to do anything to improve it tbh.
It is also not a good selling pitch to try and entice coaches like Malthouse, Roos, Mathews to the club.
Carlton will be thinking 'why us', because the Demons will be supercharged this round. Also they've got to convince young Scully that he shouldn't go to GWS next year.

Nup, looks like they were still playing "bruise-free football"...
Scully should take the cash (and I reckon he will, otherwise he would have already re-committed to the Dees). It would serve them right if he left, they got him with their priority pick after "tanking".
He loves the club, yes. Unfortunately he wants to be perceived as a martyr or some sort of hero. There's nothing inspiring about dying of cancer. He should be spending time with his family.
Agree Gav. Something seriously amiss down there. I don't see why Jim Stynes can't still be be the inspirational figure at games and functions, but relieve him of the added burden of the official role.Nup, looks like they were still playing "bruise-free football"...
