Traded EGM, Football Josh Mahoney - Footy Operations boss at the AFL - 28/8

[owen87]

Is this where we bring in Balme and win a Premiership next season?

We're going full-Richmond, might as well take it to conclusion.

Wonder if we've got a replacement already lined up?

 

[Seagrave_Holmes]

Ross Lyon come on down.

 

[jmoo wan]

Kevin Sheedy, come on down!!

We are Essendon We are Essendon etc..

 

[citizen-erased]

Ross Lyon in?

 

[The Prosecutor]

Ross Lyon please.

 

[Lach72]

Ross Lyon in?

If you want someone to smash some heads without giving a * he'd be perfect.

Although what confidence would Rutten have now?

 

[eth-dog]

Okay, for those saying Lyon, I get he was a very good coach but what makes him qualified for GM of Football?

this is exactly what i'm looking for
coaches, players, selection panel, list management

He said something competent on Footy Classified that one time


Wouldn't be the worst thing though. I can definitely think of worse things.

 

[DallasCrane316]

sh*t timing surly have a replacement lined up

Someone on Blitz saying the current word is Simon Lloyd (Geelong)

I'm not objecting to it. Just not sure what makes him qualified.

Don't mind this

when you've been a successful coach/assistant across 3 clubs, he'd have had great exposure to what works.

 

[Phone]

It barely seems worth replacing Richardson if the head of recruitment, or whatever his job title is, reports to the board imo

 

[fairbump_playon]

Ross Lyon come on down.

never thought i would say this about Ross... but HELL YES

Yeah, sorry, it'd need to be a fair bit more than that to impress me

 

[DapperJong]

Yeah, sorry, it'd need to be a fair bit more than that to impress me

7 clubs?

What was the appeal with Richardson in the first place?

nice
if he doesn't land the Roos coaching gig, he'd be a good get

 

[Runk]

never thought i would say this about Ross... but HELL YES

You reckon? He's a fairly polarising person from all reports.

 

[Maddogm]

He said something competent on Footy Classified that one time

That would make him stand out

Coaching and GM of Football are very different roles. I'm not saying Lyon isn't qualified but I'm not saying he is either. As for Richo, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Well yeah, I mean I'm not saying I know. I definitely don't. But I would be surprised if a former coach didn't know a little bit about it.

 

[Mr Mojo Risin]

I'm not sure what I'd think of it but I know the media have been talking about that idea for sometime, not Essendon specifically, but that Lyon could be good in a different role in a football department as long as he had no intention of coaching again. The word on Ross when he did coach was that he liked to do everything himself anyway so maybe he does have a lot of experience in doing many things involved in running a football department.

 

[Howard Moon]

prepare yourselves

DODORO - GM of football, a man of many talents, and jackets

 

[eth-dog]

Yeah, that's a fair call. Just wait and see I guess

Ah, that's more like it. Thanks Mojo.
