    Lyon's probably getting a few bars of that in his show bag too!

    Maybe we should recall Diamond Jo! Our new sub-committee member :rolleyes:

    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

    Unlikely that we will ever know the full story, but I agree that the dollars would be a huge part of the equation. On the other hand, Lyon is a self-professed career coach, and imo the strength of Freo's list would have been a critical part of his consideration.

    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.

    We shall see....

    Over-rated, under-performers.

    They were at near full strength when we belted them by 16 goals too. Still can't win on the road either..

    I Agree WYL and have stated this in previous posts too.

    Hope we are right.

    "Man of Integrity"WOW!

    Just thought I'd correct your typo here WJ. I believe you missed the word "no" in between "of" and "integrity".

    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

    But he approached them first, so how could it be all about $$$$$ He didn't know what they would offer, he just knew he wanted to go there.

    Just heard on SEN that RL was even able to name his amount to stay at St Kilda. He also walked into a board meeting, told them he was leaving and then walked out, leaving for Perth.

    I am not a lawyer far from it but if RL had a contract for 2012.

    Couldn't the saints sue him?

    I would guess so. He is supposed to give three months notice to terminate. Obviously he will forfeit all monies owed, but after that, I don't know.

    Reported widely to have a nice 'get out ' clause. Which it seems worked a treat...lol

    This guy is mercenary.. to the max.; blindsided everyone ....except Freo of course .

    Why do I have a funny feeling one GL got wind of it. Good smokescreen.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Brisbane

      Forget the haunting of Round 11 — we’ve got this. Melbourne returns to its inner-city fortress for its milestone 100th AFLW match, carrying a formidable 10–2 record at IKON Stadium. Brisbane’s record at the venue is more balanced: 4 wins, 4 losses and a draw.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
