    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
