I don't rate Garry Lyon. I'd be shattered if he brought his Grant Thomas philosophies to the Dees. I can't rate any coach who doesn't believe in ruckmen. If Bailey does turn out to be a failure we should try to get a big name experienced coach not another rookie.

Grant Thomas wasted most of St Kilda's window with his idiocy, an idiocy that GL was number 1 fan of

A comment was made on the radio this afternoon that Garry is by coaching the U16 which were coached by Buckley last year, still is undecided and is keeping his options open.

Together with his end of season jolly to Ireland some years ago plus the above, he really does have a wonderful pedigree to coach AFL.

Honestly the guy has said before he has no interest in coaching. He has made no effort to get a proper coaching fixture, has no viable coaching experience since he retired and he has not played AFL for 11 seasons.

If DB is not the person for MFC at the end of 2011, then surely but surely we would look a coach with more on his CV than Lyon. Ultimate "jobs for the boys" appointment if it occurs.

He is better off staying in the media.
