Ross Lyon Betting Plunge

Featured Replies

Posted

ROSS Lyon has been spectacularly backed this morning to coach Melbourne next season.

Lyon’s price was slashed from $9 into just $2 before the market was suspended with online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au.

“We’ve suspended the market for the time being based on irregular betting activity over the past 24 hours,” Sportsbet.com.au’s Haydn Lane said.

The move comes as Lyon prepares the Saints to take on Sydney in the second elimination final on Saturday night

Lyon was at $17 to coach Melbourne when markets were released following the sacking on Dean Bailey and gradually firmed to $9 before today’s plunge.

Yesterday, Saints defender Jason Blake said Lyon had fronted the players when rumours of a Melbourne poaching move first aired.

"He addressed it straight up and said it wasn't true," Blake said.

 

I hope there is something to this story!

Getting Ross Lyon would be a major coup for the club.

Coaches don't come under the salary cap, so perhaps he has been given an offer he simply cannot refuse.

 

Merge!

Demons & Saints merge???

Nah, wouldn't stack up theologically.


well, im sure Kim Duthie could manage the influx

Maybe it was Kim who started the rumours?

If there's any basis to it, we won't know until late Saturday night, after the Saints final, at the earliest.

I haven't really given them a chance for the flag, but their form in the 2nd half of the season can't be ignored.

Rumor is that when Ross Lyon woke up this morning there was a dead horses head in his bed next to him!


i do find the rumour of lyon to the dees on 3aw rumour file a couple of weeks ago and this latest betting plunge - fascinating.

Great work with that bet John Longmire. Worked perfectly.

Agree

Definitely a Swan bet......lol

that's hogwash.

It might be a little early to get too excited yet.

According to Francis Leach on SEN, the betting plunge consisted of 4 bets for a total of #130

The market doesn't drop $7.00 due to bets totally $130. Francis Leach should consult with the Ox before he says this.

PROBABLY....but gee it's an amusing thought.....have a laugh on us pal,its FREE

that's hogwash.

im fairly confident that his/her tongue was firmly in their check

Good call.

Francis is really an idiot if he believes that. I chucked $50 on Scott Burns and that market hasn't moved one bit.

it would have to be more than that. A betting agency isn't going to halt betting for bets worth $130 totaling a potential payout of no more than $1170...

    It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    It seems like only yesterday that these two sides faced off against each other in the centre of the continent. It was when Melbourne was experiencing a rare period of success with five wins from its previous six matches including victories over both of last year’s grand finalists.  Well, it wasn’t yesterday but it was early last month and it remains etched clearly in the memory. The Saints were going through a slump and the predicted outcome of their encounter at TIO Traeger Park was a virtual no-brainer. A Melbourne victory and another step closer to a possible rise into finals contention. Something that was unthinkable after opening the season with five straight defeats.

  • REPORT: Carlton

    I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

  • CASEY: Carlton

    The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.
