I'm going to wait for some confirmation at least. There isn't anything on either the AFL website, the Melbourne website or the StKilda website.

.... feeling the same here, none of the Herald Sun guys have tweeted (pretty quick of the mark!) Foxsports hasn't mentioned it, SEN has nothing, heck I couldn't even see anything on Bigfooty :wacko:

Just this reference to channel 10 news announcement. Would have thought on a fairly slow Tuesday (after yesterday)

not saying it is not true just nothing on any media 'bout it.

Listening to this, Lyon is to speak @ 11am tomorrow to his players, it doesn't say FACT at all.

It sounds "likely" I'll admit, but it's not definitive. By your interpretation it is FACT that Scott Burns will be coaching Melb next year. (I hope that comment doesn't come back to bite me! haha)

Where is the announcement?

That's what i'd like to know as well. Earlier on in the day everyone was up in arms when SEN were stipulating that Lyon was meeting with the Saints players' to say he was going to the Demons, obviously a smoking gun. Now on the back of a 2 second piece at the end of a sports report (the likes of which a year 2 student could have done) it's all changed again???

LOL, please either way, whatever decision Lyon comes to will be sports leading stuff, not some whimsical piece of jargon. The gullibility of some people on these boards is unbelievable. I wouldn't put it past some here to start to believe rumour and innuendo coming from a brick wall. Getting excited because of some cr@p from SEN saying he's leaving, now getting upset because of "late mail" that he is staying. Talk about impulsive.

This, 3AW's reference was exactly the same as everyone elses on this forum.

dwayne russell thought he was set up by gerard ..

after it was announced on the 3aw news AFTER that "gerard", link comment at 7pm. as signed new deal with saints.

THEN TOOK CALLERS, are u happy out there to " SAINTS FANS".. a few rang in to say VERY HAPPY !!!

the scott burns comment is only gerards opinion at this stage that he would be a good fit with neil craig as assistant..

I reckon for all intensive purposes on the new coach possibility, that Ross Lyon be typed as RL and Garry Lyon as GL. Only because reading Lyon says that Lyon is doing this or that it can get a little confusing, :wacko:

Do you find it strange that a story as big as this has not gone anywhere except effectively off one source that seems unsubstantiated.

Seriously the AFL Media would be over this immediately if true and the Saints website would have announced it, but there is nothing on:

AFL site / Saints site

Herald Sun / The Age

Fox Sports

SEN

Heck even Big Footy hasn't really taken it up (except one thread in Saints Board which just references this same thing from Ch10 which 3AW has run with.)

Actually the Burns thing apparently referred to McLardy being over in Cottersloe talking with Scott Burns, so there "apparently" was a bit more than an opinion, and I was only taking the pi$$ with that one.

it is just very light on for information... let alone something that is FACT or confirmed wouldn't you agree?

Sorry but Garry would not be walking around telling people if true. Unless your niece was having breakfast at gazz's and throwing toast around the kitchen, she may have miss heard the conversation.

What now????? Surely Garry Lyon will look at Eade i dont want Scott Burns or any other assistants, the only one i would have is Neeld cuz hes been at Collingwood. Maybe Thompson and Malthouse are smokies still?

From what I've read in terms of reports, Neeld is basically signed at Adelaide.

Sorry but if OX hasn't said anything then it's not true!

Gold.

Either way Lyon will need to commit one way or the other ASAP in both cases.

The Saints will want to know ASAP so that if he is going they can get in the coach race ASAP.

The Demons will also want to know ASAP so they can continue with other candidates ASAP.

(Don't think i typed ASAP enough then..........ASAP)

Either way i reckon by end of this week or very early next week at the latest there will be an answer on Ross Lyon.

I really am sick of looking at four million websites to try and find the latest news on who our coach is. I hate the fact that an opinion is thrown up from healy,sheehan,Ox,sportsnewsfirst,my mum and the milkman (Stay away from my mum milkman!!) and it is taken as truth when nobody seems to know much at all. Everyone is telling us what they think and it is reported as fact and a lot of people including myself get sucked in everytime.

    DELUGE by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons overcame their inaccuracy and the wet inhospitable conditions to overrun the lowly Northern Bullants at Genis Steel Oval in Cramer Street, Preston on Saturday. It was an eerie feeling entering the ground that in the past hosted many VFA/VFL greats of the past including the legendary Roy Cazaly. The cold and drizzly rain and the sparse crowd were enough to make one want to escape to the nearby Preston Market and hang out there for the afternoon. In the event, the fans

    INSANITY by Whispering Jack

    Somehow, the Melbourne Football Club managed it twice in the course of a week. Coach Simon Goodwin admitted it in his press conference after the loss against the Brisbane Lions in a game where his team held a four goal lead in the third term:   "In reality we went a bit safe. Big occasion, a lot of young players playing. We probably just went into our shell a bit. "There's a bit to unpack in that last quarter … whether we go into our shells a bit late in the game."   Well

    UNBACKABLE by The Oracle

    They’re billing the Brisbane Lions as a sleeping giant — the best team outside the top eight —and based on their form this month they’re a definite contender for September AFL action. Which is not exactly the best of news if you happen to be Melbourne, the visiting team this week up at the Gabba.  Even though they are placed ahead of their opponent on the AFL table, and they managed to stave off defeat in their last round victory over North Melbourne, this week’s visitors to the Sunshi

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last
