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.

  • Quote

    Staying.

    Where is the announcement?

  • Quote

    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.

  • Quote

    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: 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.
