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.

    Lyon has been a breath of fresh air in Footy Classified 

    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!

    • 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.
