Ross Lyon Betting Plunge

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.

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.

Big plunge on the Saints to win the spoon when the betting scandals started halfway through last year too.

Similar result here too I reckon.

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

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.

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...

    THE ACCIDENTAL DEMONS by The Oracle

    In the space of eight days, the Melbourne Football Club’s plans for the coming year were turned upside down by two season-ending injuries to players who were contending strongly for places in its opening round match against the GWS Giants. Shane McAdam was first player to go down with injury when he ruptured an Achilles tendon at Friday afternoon training, a week before the cut-off date for the AFL’s pre-season supplemental selection period (“SSP”). McAdam was beginning to get some real mom

    RETURN TO NORMAL by Whispering Jack

    One of my prized possessions is a framed, autographed guernsey bearing the number 31 worn by my childhood hero, Melbourne’s champion six time premiership player Ronald Dale Barassi who passed away on 16 September 2023, aged 87. The former captain who went on to a successful coaching career, mainly with other clubs, came back to the fold in his later years as a staunch Demon supporter who often sat across the way from me in the Northern Stand of the MCG cheering on the team. Barassi died the

    GAMEDAY: Match SIM vs North Melbourne
