    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.

    • 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.

      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?
