My guess is that it's not the selection process that's troubling Lyon. I presume he's concerned about the reason for the shift in thinking which suggests there are people on the Board who don't want him. If I were Lyon, I wouldn't want to coach any club that didn't have unanimous Board support for my appointment. I think he's been wise to avoid a fractured club. 

Yeah, it sounds like Ross was told that if Clarko said no, the job was his, and the concerns around him have forced the blues to re-think and rather than approve the Sayers plan to just sign Ross Lyon, the board has forced the process to be undetaken due to the concerns and division. and Ross is obviously frustrated because he was under the impression he was being head hunted. I still think there is a live possibility that Ross Lyon ends up being the senior coach of Carlton though.

They haven't got the guts to appoint another untried coach.

Yze won't be going there.

I hope Lyon goes there and they screw it up again.

If it's not Clarkson or Lyon, is it Buckley or Voss now?

And funnily enough would Collingwood have preferred Lyon to Macrae had Ross not appeared to have been wedded to Carlton?

Both Carlton and Collingwood seem like clubs lost in the wilderness, similar to the journey Melbourne went through post the Gutnik years. Only a desperado would apply for a coaching gig at these symbols of dysfunction.

100% agree with the mental crushing this would have on anyone. No doubt the 500 off K he will b paid out will help in fincancial security but no one likes to have their profession publicly humiliated and degraded. I suppose thats the industry butstill pretty sas for him.

 

Ross Lyon comes across as a dog of a guy. Not quite Malthouse level.

Why do you say Malthouse is a dog?? I’ve heard people say this about him before but I don’t think I’ve heard any stories to go along with it. Why is he disliked?

I see a lot of similarities with Carlton right now to when we hired Neeld.

Old coach fired after only a few years
Bring in the club legends to pick the new coach
Experienced senior coach pulls out of the race because the selection process seems a bit scuffed (Sheedy and the powerpoint)

I hope for their sake it goes a little better than it did for us.

Don't understand why Buckley would want to follow the Malthouse route and go to Carlton. Better off earning big bucks in the media, then coming back in 3-4 years at somewhere that isn't a complete basket case.

The way Carlton is managing the "process" for getting a new coach, I wouldn't at all be surprised to find out that they've appointed this Nathan Buckley by mistake.

His grandkids went to the same primary school as our kids. On grandparents day, he turned up and ate all the biscuits.

Enough said.

Dog biscuits?

I don't think the other grandparents would have minded as much.

I wonder whether their long time frames may be there to enable finals coaches / assistant coaches to be candidates - Yze, Williams, Scott etc?

Is Justin Leppitsch under consideration or was he burned by his experience in Brizvegas when they had a cr@p list?

Good pick up - his commentary on Ch 7 has been very insightful....covers the game like a coach...

I thought he is a package deal with McCrae (ie Collingwood bound?)

Was assistant coach at Richmond during their flag era and is highly regarded. However has moved out of coaching for media gigs.

And now Cain Liddle has left Carlton, according to AFL's own Twitter account.

Things going swimmingly at Princes Park.

Out Liddle in Cook, I reckon AFL might get involved to give Cook a push to save this sinking ship.  

Anyone know if they had a "Is Teague the right guy..." thread on Carlton BigFooty?
