Ross Lyon Sacked

Roos was the architect of our rebuild.

Roos believed that clubs should change their model with an older head of coaching.  Yet we persist with the older model?

Many miss Roos.  Lyon is the closest thing to him.

Offer him 4 years as HOC.

We haven’t got the time for Goody to grow into the role.  Goody stays no.2.

 

Am I turning into a panicked simpleton?  Maybe.

 

Roos and Bartlett...get it done.

    Ross Lyon would be a perfect fit. He is a brilliant tactician and a coach who preaches structure and has the ability to implement a disciplined gameplan. He would be a good get. He should be interested. He isnt silly, we have a very capable list.

  • Quote

    Absolutely not. Ross is way past it, whole gameplan was built on flooding defense which just isnt possible anymore with the rulechanges. I’d say Goodwin needs to get inventive with a new style but I genuinely havent seen anything this year to suggest he has one in the first place.

    No.

    I'm confused, there is Roos and then there is Ross... which one?

  • Quote

    St Kilda still haven't recovered from Lyon's time there. Freo haven't played finals for 5 years.

    No to Brad Scott too, before people suggest him.

    I'dmuch rather a Voss or Ratten (although he will have the St Kilda job wrapped up).

    How do you think Pert got the gig?

    Wake up.

    Lyon's game plan is outdated and he has continually failed on the big stage.

    We need a coach whose game plan and style maximises our strengths and compensates for our weaknesses. 

    If it were 2005, that may well be Ross Lyon, but in 2020 beyond, it's surely someone else with a similar philosophy. Leigh Tudor?

    A Milne bounce and a Scarlett kick gives him 2 flags against the best sides of that year.  Against the Hawks, who were the best team by daylight, they are in the game at 3/4 time.

    Continually failed on the biggest stage?  You are joking.  From an MFC supporter who wouldn’t know the difference between Broadway and TAFE theatre.

    And yet he has none.
    If the Saints or Dockers we're playing in my front yard I would've closed the curtains.
    Swans too for that matter considering Roos was using Lyons game plan.
    Took over young exciting lists, turned them into unwatchable robots and rung them dry with little thought to the future.

    Take a seat, Ross. You failed to win a flag multiple times.

    I wonder if TGR delivers a message from the club. This thread is oddly timed and strangely lacks context.

    You are a loser Ross!  Don’t come here. From a team that is home in the bottom 4.

     

    You probably would have advised Adelaide to stay clear of Malcolm Blight, who failed to win a flag in 89, 92 and 94.

    Mate, it's not 2005 and it's certainly not 1989. Get with the program and get with 2020.

    • GAMEDAY: Hawthorn

      It's Game Day and the Demons have another opportunity to spoil another team's finals aspirations as they take on the Hawks at the MCG. What do you want to see from the boys today?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.
