FML. I really want Lyon. What does Freo have to offer him that we can't?

That's my issue with all this too Jaded. Surely we have a list he would love, and allowing him to stay in Melbourne for bloody good money. :wacko:

If anything comes out of this that we never contacted Ross Lyon....with the deal that was reported....then surly we would have stitched up MM???

Just a thought

Jt I have been thinking this all week.

It looks more like MM ever day to me.

Harvey was told of on Thursday morning of his dismissal and is understood to have been shocked at Fremantle’s decision. He was told by Fremantle heavyweights that the club had snared a top coach in a “chance of a lifetime” coaching recruitment for the Dockers and their prospects of premiership into the next two to three seasons.

Breaking Bad is amazing HC, truly amazing..Nearly finished season 2...The Girlfriend has just choked

Don't say a word about the outcome!!!!!

season 5 has been commissioned....

Well you're in for a real treat if you're only up to season 2, season 4 IMO is the best of the lot. So so intense. Season 4 has 13 episodes and they have signed on for

16 final episodes to finish it off over 2 seasons. The writers will be able to tie it all up perfectly. Vince gilligan (x files writer producer) is a gun!

Anyhow back to the Harvey situation, this is bad bad news for MFC. It's MM or bust now for me but I'd bet money we get another rookie coach, it's the MFC way. Is there any danger we could stop all our moves reaching the media first like the dockers? Got to hand it to them nobody saw it coming and if they have Lyon they've done a super job.

Totally agree. Just when I think this week can't get any worse!! Seems like a bizarre decision by RL if it's true. Surely he was at the top of our list, above MM who I think would struggle without the amazing support structure the Pies have.

Fremantle has money to burn in terms of football departments.

After the big boys feed at the trough well pick up the leftovers.

We will have an untried coach next year.

Rumour on SEN that Lyon approached Freo (not other way) 5 weeks ago, and deal done soon after. Integrity issues??? Amazing set of circumstances.

I was thinking that it was a bit underhanded by Fremantle to be making offers to other coaches. But maybe not! Pretty crazy stuff.

I am far more furious, upset and dissolutioned about this than I was about Scully.

Come on, we have had more time than anyone to get our coaching situation sorted and here we are, losing out to goddamn Freo.

FFS where is the hope in supporting this club?

Very crazy. And just now, that apparently as fact, Freo told Mark Harvey twice in sacking meeting that the "better man" they had was Ross Lyon! Bugger me.

One can only hope..... otherwise the Saints are now in play.....

Maybe they've played their hand already on MM :blink:

I think Gazza's body language just might give us a bit of a clue tonight as to whether we've got our man...or still out there looking. I'm sure he'll be peppered about it regardless.

Maybe he was offeed 6 mill for 6 years with 2 mill up front.

I find it very hard to believe that Lyon would chose Fremantle over us.

I'm starting to think we never even gave him an offer.... if you get my drift...

Hopefully its a sign that we already had someone lined up.... because the alternative is we really SUCK majorly!

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k

    OVER YET? by KC from Casey

    The Friday evening rush hour clash of two of the VFL’s 2024 minnows, Carlton and the Casey Demons was excruciatingly painful to watch, even if it was for the most part a close encounter. I suppose that since the game had to produce a result (a tie would have done the game some justice), the four points that went to Casey with the win, were fully justified because they went to the best team. In that respect, my opinion is based on the fact that the Blues were a lopsided combination that had
