Ross Lyon has pulled out of the race. 

The club has whittled down a long list of up to 30 candidates to about 10, with former St Kilda and Fremantle coach Lyon making clear he did not want to be interviewed.

Ross Lyon i can't imagine coaching again unless it was a team on the cusp of finals/Success. if we give Goodwin the flick in 2021 you'd have to think that'd be more appealing to him than the North job right now.

He is still right on the puls

I agree. Excellent on footy classified. Knows the game inside out and explains himself in simple terms.  I can see why players would want to play for him.

Michael Voss ? Plenty of experience coaching a basket case football club. Did he play with Roosy at Brisbane too ? 

Adem Yze might be kicking himself he didn't wait another couple of weeks.

I would love to see him coach the MFC. if it were my call he'd be our coach for next season. to take two teams with a history of mediocrity in the Saints and Dockers to Grand finals and regular finals is no mean feat

Roosy never played for Brisbane, left Fitzroy a few years before the merger and played out his career at Sydney before joining the coaching panel

Ah! Of course he did. Thanks for setting me straight Pennant.

I would assume that most assistant coaches have a clause in their contract that allow them to leave for for a head coach roll.

Yeah. Didn’t Yze interview for the senior role at Freo last year ? Hope he doesn’t trigger that clause with us. The ink has barely dried on his contract.

After the Shaw experience, suspect North will be looking for someone with senior coaching experience. Or even just someone senior (Fagan Mk 2).

Both those teams had young lists playing exciting football already in place.
Lyon came in , turned 'em into boring robots, ignored further list development and still failed to get the job done trying to win GFs kicking under 10goals.
Then left them squeezed dry and in the doldrums needing to build again from scratch.

David Noble appointed Roos coach.  Interesting choice and obviously highly regarded. Very experienced footy man. 

I wish him luck. He'll need it. North are a basket case.

The Pulsener, as they say in N.Z., or the pulse?

The really exciting part is that Pies fans were very hopeful that Robert Harvey would get the job thereby removing him from the C'wood coaching panel. No such luck, Pies!

They over the soft cap as well?

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc.
