I am glad the situation has been taken out of our hands, because on one hand i would have appreciated the winning at all costs culture Lyon would have bought to the Demons, on the other, I can not stand the way the Saints play, and am glad he is not bringing that game style to Demonland.

I felt exactly the same way. If we could be guaranteed success with whatever choice we made, I would have chosen anyone over Lyon!!! Now let's hope the first part of my statement is correct!!!!

Freo's list is better / more advanced than ours.

Has nothing to do with it, he went behind everyone's back, even his own manager's and they have sacked him, he is going to get 7.5 mil over 5 years, we could not match that. Its only about money not what club or who has the better list its $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$dollars

I was never keen on him either, that boring negative gameplan, even St.Kilda supporters were'nt going to their own matches.

As opposed to our unique winning style of football.

I cant recall all the complaints when Nnorthey's teams used to win games by kicking less than 12 goals but it must have been deafening.

apparently this has been going on for weeks and we could not match any of the money Lyon is getting, he is getting deals with mining companies etc and will make twice as much as we could get him.

Without doubt.

Money talks.....

And he probably had to go it alone. His management group could hardly discuss it whilst also representing the coach he was about to replace.

How else could he have done it i wonder. Sack his (relatively new) management and appoint another in the space of a few weeks and try and involve them in the dealings whilst maintaining secrecy as well. Highly improbable.

Still.....not a good look.

Saints will be reeling and pretty bloody furious once the dust settles.

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.

get balme or similar to replace cc. we might have to spend some decsent bucks to get the right person or can todd take this position?

As expected ESP, run by Craig Kelly, has terminated contract with Ross Lyon, What a day

Kelly triggered his own redundancy clause. Well done Craig.

Boy arranged for himself $7.5m over 5 years. Shafted his own blood sucker sorry manager who was looking after his affairs no wait they werent.

And a chance to coach for premiership with side whose era is just commencing.

Boy what a low down self interested cad. Actually bloody smart move on a number of fronts

Hey BD, maybe your missing something about Freo? Hmmm

Exactly why would you sign for another four years at St.kilda?? It is the end of their window for sure.

Ross is looking after himself, why should he worry if Harvey has the same management?

Freo - more money and shorter window to challenge if they had all key players fit.

They say they're in their window every year.

If Lyon can do something with Freo in the next 5 years I'd be impressed.

A case where the blood sucker, I mean manager had a clear conflict of interest and was unable to represent Lyon if Harvey was a client.

If anything Craig Kelly just looks redundant and Lyon looks uber smart.

The Saints look terrible out of this

Coaches deserve every $$ they get...100 hours a week no problems.

Media Scrutiny Flat Out.

Ross is a very smart man....he could do no more at the Aints.

MM to the Demons...

Wrong.

In 2010, they rose from 14th to 6th.

In 2011 they were crippled by injuries and finished outside the 8. They were better than that.

Lyon approaches them and arranges a deal to coach them for 5 years after saying the Saints are at the end of an era.

If you think it is just the momey. Hmmm think again.

But it is certainly not not about the money :)

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t

    TURNAROUND by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons won their first game at home this year in the traditional King’s Birthday Weekend clash with Collingwood VFL on Sunday in a dramatic turnaround on recent form that breathed new life into the beleaguered club’s season. The Demons led from the start to record a 52-point victory. It was their highest score and biggest winning margin by far for the 2024 season. Under cloudy but calm conditions for Casey Fields, the home side, wearing the old Springvale guernsey as a mark of res

    POSTGAME: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    Once again inaccuracy and inefficiency going inside 50 rears it's ugly head as the Demons suffered their second loss on the trot and their fourth loss in five games as they go down to the Pies by 38 points on Kings Birthday at the MCG.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 13 vs Collingwood

    It's Game Day and the Demons are once again faced with a classic 8 point game against a traditional rival on King's Birthday at the MCG. A famous victory will see them reclaim a place in the Top 8 whereas a loss will be another blow for their finals credentials.

    BOILED LOLLIES by The Oracle

    In the space of a month Melbourne has gone from chocolates to boiled lollies in terms of its standing as a candidate for the AFL premiership.  The club faces its moment of truth against a badly bruised up Collingwood at the MCG. A win will give it some respite but even then, it won’t be regarded particularly well being against an opponent carrying the burden of an injured playing list. A loss would be a disaster. The Demons have gone from a six/two win/loss ratio and a strong percentag

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an
