Ross Lyon

[Bring-Back-Powell 14,841]

Mark Harvey sacked. Ross Lyon to take over Freo according to Sen

[Grandson of a gun 276]

SEN have officially reached the point of NFI re Ross Lyon. They carried the Lyon to MFc story then changed their tune to Lyon has committed to the Saints and now he is headed to Freo.

I like listening to SEN but wouldn't pay much attention to their coaching predicitions

[rpfc 28,440]

lol

WTF?

NFI.

And this, children, concludes todays lesson on the degeneration of the English language

ROSS LYON GAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN

[Kento80 83]

What an amazing set of circumstances.

[Neita3000 37]

So Lyon chose Fremantle over us?

Fair decision?

[beelzebub 23,377]

just mentioned on the Marngrook show also....Lyon to Freo...wtf

I need a drink...maybe two !!

Ross will most likely sign with the saints up until 2014/15.

He will be a very loyal man.

He's got nothing to lose with the Saints if signed up. Trade mature bodies and have a crack at another prem next year, or mini rebuild over the next 2-? years.

But, what if they bottom out. Mid bottom 10 next year and it turns into a full rebuild of the playing list. He said it himself, "Ä new era".

OR

A great contract of 5 years with the chance of extending based on performance, with a list people are very curious about and not to mention the upcoming draft selections. It would be like being a kid in a candy store coaching GCS (bluey) and Melbourne next year and beyond. The next Melbourne premiership coach is going to have a light shine down on him from the heavens. Is that why sheeds wanted a crack before? Dont get me started on Malthouse. And get paid a lazy 5 mil for it.

I think, Ross will be a very loyal man.

The MFC is like Marsha [censored] Brady at the moment. And were not even playing finals.

awesome, Lyon isnt loyal, nor interested in us......

[Demon Dynasty 17,109]

Arrghh.

Another suitor for MM!!!

That's if they haven't snared him already

[888Dee 6]

Lyon to Freo on AFL 360. Im not watching it though as obviously wouldnt watch that rubbish.

[DemonOX 8,791]

Just mentioned on AFL teams by Liam Pickering that MM is long into negotiations with a TV network about a role next year.

Hope this is not true as it would obviously mean he isnt going to coach us.

[beelzebub 23,377]

awesome, Lyon isnt loyal, nor interested in us......

Maybe a case of no job actually gong at Melb No vacancy...cough !!!

ROSS LYON GAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWNNNNNNNNNN

What happened there, he's going to Freo, what happened with us trying to get him??? Maybe if he was going to go he wanted to get out of Melbourne or we stopped trying to get him, I just don't get it.

[Weekends at Bernie's 64]

Mark robbinsons twitter:

Once again: Saints confirm lyon has qauit. Story on superfooty.com.au shortly

(by the way melb never offered job to lyon, never spoke to him. They would have but never got the chance)

[RudeBoy 164]

The club will struggle to attract a top line coach until all the off field issues are fully sorted and there is stability and unity of purpose around the place.

Anyone who thinks that was achieved by sacking Dean Bailey is living in fairy land imo.

You can forget about getting Malthouse. It aint gonna happen.

[Kento80 83]

Statement from StKilda that Lyon definitely turned down offer now. The only thing left (slightly) in the air is where he is going, but that is .5 of a millimetre.

[Rhino Richards 1,467]

Its not a good statement about St Kilda is it?

"End of an era" by a coach that almost took them to a flag.

One of the oldest lists in the AFL. They have drafted poorly in recent years bar Jack Steven. They have huge culture issues off the ground as well. Financially stretched as well.

Not a welcoming prospect for a potential coach unless they wanted to undertake a rebuild. Their clock looks past midngiht unless they can miraculously turn around their off field and on field performance.

(by the way melb never offered job to lyon, never spoke to him. They would have but never got the chance)

I am sure they would have IF they wanted to.

[Face Your Demons 175]

Just a little bit shocked. 6 million over 5 years. just wanted more than that Scully kid got. Maybe the Dees do have MM signed up

[hoopla 418]

So Lyon chose Fremantle over us?

Fair decision?

Amazing coup by Freo.

I thought they were mad sacking their coach 2 weeks after season's end .... and all the time they have been negotiating with a hot property behind the media's back. Really dirty treatment of Mark Harvey ... but an amazing coup nonetheless

2 Questions

- Why did Lyon pick them and not us?

- Have we any interest in Harvey?

To me the answers

- Freo more decisive - more professional(??)

- Not really

[Jaded No More 68,921]

Freo are a hell of a lot more focused and professional than us it seems.

They weren't even needing a coach and they got the best one around.

Wonderful. Just wonderful.

What's Freo got in culture?

None, they're like Richmond that just sack coaches every 3-4 years, apart from Bailey we give them a go. They must be paying him a fortune, well over 1 mil a year.

nupp!! ( I agree)

[Face Your Demons 175]

One thing to come out of all this. Don't believe anything that anyone connceted with a footy club says. Not Scully / Lyon / Mick nobody.
