Are you lost mate?? It’s nice that you are so interested, but go back to your own brethrenRoss Lyon linked to Carlton

These days I am incredibly grateful we managed to get a solid coach in Connolly that got us from that 2001 hell. Absolute calamity off the field. Broke and god knows how close we were to folding. Made finals after two years.Are Carlton now more of a joke than Freo of Old? We have seen unlimited top draft picks, first time coaches
and no shift from the bottom from several clubs.
Ross has also now proved he can rebuild, change his game plan, for posters to say no club would want him?
Everyone has a used by date, for me Ross deserves one last contract, and a mutual agreement for change.
Rosich has to stay in talks with Ross. God knows we don’t want him walking out on us too. But I’m comfortable he ll stay. He’s a Freo man now. It’s a catch 22, you want him gone but then you want to keep him because he’s experienced. The plan is 2020. Carlton are a long way off that. Ross would have to do his own rebuild there anyway.Ross Lyon linked to Carlton

Very much so. Exactly what Carlton do possibly do right now. They have the money, and could convince Ross. But does he really want to give up the Freo dream he has, which is currently on track for 2020 to abandon that and go to Carlton with no culture whatsoever? Rebuild over 3-5 years. Does he want to do that again, and it won’t be easyIt is clearly very positive in at the club at the moment and I am sure the contract issues would already have been raised, in a conversational way. And as others have said, Lyon will be wanting to get the job done here.
The problem comes if there is a sense that the club lacks commitment beyond the existing contract, and if a big and long deal is on the table from whatever club is looking.
Fremantle not being pro-active in that situation would be a situation where other clubs will regard him as gettable. We slipped in when the Saints wavered. I realise the situations are not the same, but Neale was contracted, and Lyon had actually notionally agreed to an extension with St Kilda (as I understand it).
Come the end of the year discussions, if he informed the club that he has a 5 year $$$$$ offer on the table, and that he would like to know Fremantle's position, the club isn't going to be saying, "Leave it to the bye and if you have us 6-5 with x% and no blow-outs, we'll give you another year".
And if it did come to that position, he is the one holding all the cards.
What if Carlton offer him 5 years on big money?Hope not. There’s still a long way to go on his current contract.
If Ross is up for a 5 year no guarantee rebuild, then by all means. But he would be further from a premiership then before. Sure it Would be a miracle if he pulled that off. But he is on big money here anyway. The players love him, the CEO and board back him.What if Carlton offer him 5 years on big money?
Just living in this state it"s amazing what winning does for the bandwagon brigade.What if North do the same for Simpson?

You can add that the WA media hate him, and indeed have a target on his back. And the supporter base is divided too.If Ross is up for a 5 year no guarantee rebuild, then by all means.

Carlton has that fairytale attached to it, but who would be bold enough to do it?
So have you asked that question on your board?They certainly would have enquired

There is discussion on it. He only re signed last year in his flag year so would be highly oddSo have you asked that question on your board?
Even a mild mannered troll, is still a troll.
It's all media crap. They have nothing else to do but speculate. Block out the noise. Ross is Purple. End of story.
Yes the list is beautifully set up for any incoming coach, and if a change does happen then I would still be optimistic about the future. Like you I don't think it will happen, and don't think it should happen, but the building blocks are pretty exciting.If Ross does leave (I don't think for a second he will) then geez you'd be happy if you are the next coach with what he has left you.
Nevermind the talk about Lyon to Carlton as a result of this, what about making a bold play and luring Bolton over here as an assistant?
We've got a good list, Ross knows that above all else.
But he was spotted in Carlton today (Lygon St) with Steve Silvagni
