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

    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......

    Arrghh.

    Another suitor for MM!!! :wacko:

    That's if they haven't snared him already :rolleyes:

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

  • Quote

    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.

    Maybe a case of no job actually gong at Melb :rolleyes: 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.

    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)

  • Quote

    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.

    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.

  • Quote

    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.

    I am sure they would have IF they wanted to.

  • Quote

    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

    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

  • Quote

    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.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
