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.

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

    Enough said.

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

    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.

    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?

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
