Nine’s support for Bill Brownless has been deafening in its silence.
Not a skerrick of care has been released publicly from the network about Brownless in what must be a soul-destroying period for the frothy-loving Cat.
No such lack of love for Lyon, though, who Nine has portrayed as a victim.
“We are all supporting Garry and hope he will be back to good health very soon. Our priority is his well being,” Nine said.
Sorry, Bill, you’re not high on the priority list.

Talking about Footy Classified, Nine said Lyon was battling serious mental health issues for several months, but he seemed it was the same ol’ Gaz - emotionally invested, confident and knew right from wrong - when he hosted the Essendon supplement saga show with Barrett and Caroline Wilson on January 15.
If Nine knew of the on-going health battle, why did it allow Lyon to go on the show?
At Triple M, which was a ratings juggernaut, Lyon was the leader of the gang which, as part of the group’s DNA, danced on the misfortune of others.
Lyon, Brayshaw, Barret et al belittled the likes of Wayne Carey, Ben Cousins and Ricky Nixon and others. Bullying is a hobby and so is smart arse comments.
Now, one of Triple M’s own has crashed into the wall and clearly there won’t be the same banter at Lyon’s misfortune.
When you pass judgment or make jokes or poke fun at someone else’s pain or expense, it’s best to make sure your own backyard is tidy.
Let's hope for SOMETHING new in Champions!
