SEN just reported Lyon meeting with StK players...likely to leave Saints.

Maybe he's just telling them,

end of season boys go and have a break but FFS stay away from school girls & leave your cameras at home

    Saints fans were destroying Lyon on the radio on Sunday, saying they are hoping to see him go.

    1 flag, 26 spoons. 3 GF appearances in 2 years, came VERRRRRRRY close to winning 2 flags. Not sure what they want from the man.

    Mostly old hags ringing up though. Sydney won a flag using Lyon's style. Pies and Cats both have relentless backlines.

    Defense is key.

    As the saying in basketball goes: "Offense sells jerseys, but defense wins championships".

    What percentage of coaches who don't win a flag get re hired. I can think of Eade and Wallace

    Fair point but I'd add Malthouse to the re-hires since Eagles picked him up when he left Bulldogs

    I liked Tom Harley's analogy from a while back. Offence sells memberships, defence wins premierships.

    But then i suppose if you had all of the back line,forward line and midfield down pat (like the Lions of 2001-2004) then anything is possible!

    That's about as intelligent and accurate as saying Port won a flag in 2004 using Bailey's style.

    I disagree. To say it was exactly the same is blatantly wrong, but both Sydney and St Kilda based their games around good contested ball and defence. That didn't change from 2005/6-2009/10. Especially considering the Geelong era was in the middle of that all I think it's a valid point.

    Sucks!!! Not happy at all.

    Malthouse is the only big fish left now.

    Depressing. Can we afford to wait until after the Grand Final to chase Malthouse? If we can't get him, then we're in the poop on the doorstep of trade week.

    Very, very disappointing. Full credit to Melbourne for putting in the offers to exactly the right people in Clarkson and Lyon. I think I'm more disappointed in this than LeTom's departure.

    Surely we don't have to "officially" wait till the granny, if you smell what I'm cooking..

    What now????? Surely Garry Lyon will look at Eade i dont want Scott Burns or any other assistants, the only one i would have is Neeld cuz hes been at Collingwood. Maybe Thompson and Malthouse are smokies still?

  • Quote

    Another one bites the dust---we really have to find a very strong coach.I feel Eade is best suited.

    Wait is there a link to prove he's staying? Was it on the radio? I must have missed it.

    It was on Channel 10 reported as an 'exclusive' by Rob Waters.

    There was a mention that Lyon was staying at the end of 10 News as well that we will receive two first round picks for Scully.

    What struck me as strange was the on the couch it was said we hadn't put an offer to him and we had better hurry up.

    Now if we were in that position on Monday night it suggests we weren't serious in chasing him or did I miss something.

    What it might suggest is we knew he wasn't on the table or we have another iron in the fire.

    I'm going to wait for some confirmation at least. There isn't anything on either the AFL website, the Melbourne website or the StKilda website.

    Not much experience left out there.

    Malthouse/Choco is about all the experience that wont be coaching next year.

    Only assistant I would look at would be Scott Burns.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      The fans who turned up to the MCG for Melbourne’s Anzac Day Eve clash against Richmond would have been disappointed if they turned up to see a great spectacle. As much as this was a night for the 71,635 in attendance to commemorate heroes of the nation’s past wars, it was also a time for the Melbourne Football Club to consolidate upon its first win after a horrific start to the 2025 season. On this basis, despite the fact that it was an uninspiring and dour struggle for most of its 100 minutes, the night will be one for the fans to remember. They certainly got value out of the pre match activity honouring those who fought for their country. The MCG and the lights of the city as backdrop was made for nights such as these and, in my view, we received a more inspirational ceremony of Anzac culture than others both here and elsewhere around the country.

    • CASEY: Richmond

      The match up of teams competing in our great Aussie game at its second highest level is a rarity for a work day Thursday morning but the blustery conditions that met the players at a windswept Casey Fields was something far more commonplace.They turned the opening stanza between the Casey Demons and a somewhat depleted Richmond VFL into a mess of fumbling unforced errors, spilt marks and wasted opportunities for both sides but they did set up a significant win for the home team which is exactly what transpired on this Anzac Day round opener. Casey opened up strong against the breeze with the first goal to Aidan Johnson, the Tigers quickly responded and the game degenerated into a defensive slog and the teams were level when the first siren sounded.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      After five consecutive defeats, the Demons have now notched up back-to-back victories, comfortably accounting for the Tigers in the traditional ANZAC Eve clash. They surged to a commanding 44-point lead early in the final quarter before easing off the pedal, resting skipper Max Gawn and conceding the last four goals of the game to close out a solid 20-point win.
