AFL Footy Show host Garry Lyon has stepped down from his roles with Nine to seek help for “ongoing mental health conditions”, it has been revealed.

Reports emerged yesterday Lyon, who has presented the show since 2006, had fallen out with close friend and co-host Bill Brownless and had yet to commit to presenting the new season of the popular Nine Network show.

According to a statement from Nine: “For several months The Footy Show and Footy Classified co-host has been suffering from a serious mental health condition and he will take time out from all media roles to recover. There is no set timeframe as to when he will return to television.”

“We are all supporting Garry and hope he will be back to good health very soon. Our priority is his wellbeing,” said Ian Paterson, managing director of Nine Melbourne.

“Garry has our full support. From here on, it’s a private and personal matter and we ask that be respected.”

The statement confirmed James Brayshaw will host the show on his own when it returns from next month, while Damian Barrett will fill in for Lyon on Footy Classified during his absence.

It is unclear whether Lyon will still appear on Southern Cross Austereo’s TripleM

The statement from Nine:

Garry Lyon will stand down from his various media duties while he seeks treatment for an ongoing mental health condition.

For several months The Footy Show and Footy Classified co-host has been suffering from a serious mental health condition and he will take time out from all media roles to recover. There is no set timeframe as to when he will return to television.

“We are all supporting Garry and hope he will be back to good health very soon. Our priority is his wellbeing,” said Ian Paterson, Managing Director Nine Melbourne.

“Garry has our full support. From here on, it’s a private and personal matter and we ask that be respected.”

The Footy Show will return next month. James Brayshaw will host the show solo until Garry is fit to return.

Damian Barrett will fill in for Garry on Footy Classified during his absence.

I actually really like Gary. He is probably the best analyst going around and whenever I've accidentally sent bits of the footy show he seems to be the one admonishing Sam Newman the most.

Hope he gets over this, for Triple M footy's ratings sake.

Yeah I've always really enjoyed it. I guess I'm in a more unique position than most as when I was younger growing up I used to follow the Gaelic quite a bit and lived a short walk from Armagh's training grounds. It was fun when I knew a decent size of the Irish squad but it's been a long time since I've followed it properly so most of their squad now are unknowns to me. But I've always stil really enjoyed the game though.

I am of the complete opposite view that he's a grade-A bastard, both when he was a player and in his media and Melbourne FC board work. However no one deserves mental illness, and hope he recovers from it.

I don't want to make light of mental illness, but it seems more like the story they decided to run with, because nobody pokes at it anymore.

And so that he stepped down from Nine for personal reasons, rather then Nine forced him out for violating his contract.

What en masse? It's Nine and his representatives. Wait and see if anything turns up in Women's Day, they don't give a poo poo about anything.

They already do, why else do you think the articles yesterday did everything they could to say "they had an affair" without actually saying it and facing an injunction and libel suit?

The SEN article basically said "Lyon and Brownless have had a massive falling out over something personal we can't mention. By the way, totally unrelated, did you hear Brownless and his wife split up 6 months ago? Makes you think"

Publishing, not knowing.

Plus, if he doesn't step down and Nine is forced to bench him, the story gets bigger.

I assume the idea is that nobody is going to want to publish stories that are kicking a guy with mental health issues (alleged, I'm not entirely convinced) while he's down. Or at least that's what I am feeling although I am a cynical shitlord so I may be offbase.

People can do bad things and also have a mental illness. The mental illness does not excuse their actions, nor do their actions delegitimise their mental illness. Doubting people who say they have a mental illness is bad.

Yeah I really don't see why it can't be both. Maybe Gary has mental illness issues, something personal happened between him and Billy which may or may not have been his own fault, but whatever it specifically was lead to a flare up of his mental health issues. if it was an affair then maybe he is going through some really tough emotional regret and the pain of losing a friend and the worry about his reputation and career etc... would be enough to be a catalyst for a major depressive episode or whatever else it may be.
