I hope not for GC's sake but you may well be correct. Time will tell. Crucial year coming up for them

The only downside here is listening to radio calls and being momentarily confused when hearing “Lyons”

you beat me by 10 seconds
Which clubs were they?
So one person is saying a dozen clubs would have taken Lyons and another is saying he was shopped around and no one interested.
Got it.

Im seeing this the other way re; Dew.
He’s come in and is the sucker left dealing with all the sh!t from the past administration.
Lyons is the only ‘strange one’ leaving this period imo and despite me being happy to get him it seems to be about standards setting and fitness professionalism not some of the more personality clash issues, immaturity and off field unprofessional issues that were implied with Leppa, Hanley, Rockliff (who was moved on by Farah and noble) and some other things at the time.
(also the above is what has been implied with Neale coming to us, wasn’t happy about some of the off field and on field behaviours of Freo recruits like Mccarthy and Bennell and diminishing culture of professionalism)
Next year dew will have ‘his team’ and have set a new culture with various other new administrative figures at the club. It seems more positive than the eade years.

My guess is about the same amount of times as your criticism's of Dayne Beams for anything he did last year.
As an aside, I haven't knocked Jarryd Lyons at all; just questioned the club's interest in a player delisted and dropped multiple time by one of the worst clubs in the league last season and by offering that same player a 3 year deal (and not learning by giving players of such ilk too long a deal).
To be fair, I did imply he was a hack, which I'll admit is probably a tad harsh, however I stand by my questioning of not being somewhat concerned why we'd give 3 years to a guy that was delisted and dropped multiple time by the Suns of all clubs.
Did you see the bit where I said it is NOT like...? Can you read? I literally said the opposite to what you think I said.Which clubs were they?

I questioned the 3 years too but it's clear while he has weaknesses he'll still be best 22 and is great pickup at the expense of our last pick in the draft.
We'll be backing for him to improve in a much better system and culture which is probably a fair assumption given how much of a rabble the suns is.
Could be similar to us giving up Crisp which you've been so critical of.
Timeline:
1. GC have end of season review with Lyons, tell him he's further down the depth chart.
2. We get in his ear about an offer.
3. Lyons asks to be de-listed from GC specifically so he can pursue our offer.
4. Is de-listed.
(We are here).
5. Signs with Brisbane.
If this timeline is correct (as reported) then no other clubs were ever given a chance to pursue him. That's why I think it isn't correct to say he was shopped around and no one else wanted him because neither of those things appear to have happened.

I suggest to listen to Cameron's interview with Whateley this morning. Lyons was shopped around during trade period. No interest according to Cameron. By the way I think he will fit nicely to Lions midfield. But he is not A player as some Melbourne media suggest. Also it appears Lyons had a major ankle surgery this off-season.
Considering how quickly they appeared to be willing to de-list him it would be completely believable to me. Neither here nor there though but some may want to use it as evidence that he is a spud.

Wouldn’t it be great if he turns out to be our Crisp. would it be luck or just damn fine list management?
Geez he is better than Crisp who is a glorified half back flanker. This guy Lyons is a modfield, clearance beast!

Just on this, look at this bit regarding Langford. How is this crafty list management? Wouldn't Hawks have a spare spot anyway since he retired?
