We need to stop guys running 6 Kim's doing nothing -- cripps and Walsh can carry two mids who know there jobs -- Dow bursting Kennedy bollocking plus one other is enough -- don't be surprised if mirkov is our next sandilands ..
I know it’s playing with fire, but we desperately need to fix this midfield. We need at least 1 winger, and probably 2 more all round midfielders.

If we can get 2 journeyman KPP’s for next season to buy us some time, that would be preferable.
 
If it turns out to be true about Lyon, I'll definitely feel a lot of sympathy for DT. I have no doubt he made a lot of mistakes & is probably not up to it at this stage (if he gets another crack I think he can be successful) but I feel for him because he had poor assistant coaches, learn on the job senior staff and players who threw him under the bus then reversed over him.

He has always struck me as a good human. Probably to his own detriment in the Carlton swamp.

I will have no prob if Ross lobs a few grenades at some of the Hollywood wannabes we have.

Well even I know this is irrational but...I DON"T LIKE LYON. There I've said it and will likely sulk for a good month if he gets the job and I can also advise that it'll be a very, very slow burn for me next season.

Oh, and for those who are interested I believe (on his history) that he has rarely, if ever, developed a young player. Has walked into two very experienced and talented sides and he'll get no patience from me with ours.
 
I’ve been of the mind Teague wasn’t up to it for months, so I’m not going to pretend I’m upset at the outcome. Lyon is clearly a huge upgrade over Teague as a head coach.

but for it to get to this point with Teague the lamest of ducks is unforgivable. MLG/Liddle should have had the courage to call it before it got to this point. So depressingly familiar from this club. This has clearly been going for weeks at a minimum, and far enough down the path they should have told Teague he wasn’t continuing on regardless of the report.
 
IF Lyon is our coach next season you'd have to think Clarko wont be coaching next year.
RB suggested that Clarkson could be facing a “fitness test” - could that be as the director of football with Andrew Russell having some input on whether or not we opt with him?

I’m pumped that it’s Lyon, though. Definitely the most left-field coaching style, not afraid to throw the magnets around and makes experienced footy pundits look like laymen with the way he sees the game. Hungry for a flag, we have the list - let’s get it
 
Hoping for an 11th hour "alrighty I will" from Clarko.
I know it ain't happening even as I write.

On one hand you have Clarkson still the coach of hawthorn and Teague still the coach of Carlton.
Obviously, while this remains the case, radio silence will be maintained.

On the other hand you have Ross and his allies running a classic/time honoured campaign for the job.

Basic logic dictates that Lyon can’t land the Carlton post taking into account the clubs commitment to Carlton respects and the ongoing presence of the current CEO.

This is the AFL however, so who would back basic logic 🤷‍♂️
 
If we go with Lyon, I’m done with this joke of a football club. I won’t buy the 4 Memberships I have for the past 15 years (41 year member gone) and I won’t be back on here to read about how nothing has changed. It’s a boys club, not a football club. Liddle pushed me to the edge, Lyon pushes me over. CFC is a laughing stock. How the mighty have fallen.

Ross would be the most tactically adept coach at our football club in almost 20 years. A massive appointment.
 
Lyon won’t tolerate soft/conditional players.
Not sure if we’ll be able to field a team round 1 next year. ;).

He does to get the best out of of average players;
Brett Peake, McQualter, Zac Dawson, Barlow, De Boer etc and all the superstar players he coached loved him - Dal Santo, Roo, Hayes (assistant coach please) and Fyfe.
Big upgrade on Teague.

Ross just the exact type of coach we need IMO, also hard to believe that we have had nowhere ever near proper genuine midfield/stoppages coaches period…
I don't want to lose him either, but what if Fisher wants to go? Do we trade him whilst contracted, and get a better return, or have him play another season and possibly lose him for lesser return as an uncontracted player?
Not much choice KP, if he really wants to go home then we unfortunately have let him go and get a deal done, what that is or who else it may actually involve who knows…

I’m a massive fan of the lad, he’s missed some large chunks through injury layoffs over past few seasons, also probably could be a product, like a few others of some poor development and poor overall gameplay/system not played enough to he’s strengths by position but certainly holds some responsibility of the way he has played at times with poor effort and commitment…

Hopefully we can keep him, have you heard he may want out?

when he joined freo, a facebook page dedicated to lyon hate had 2 followers and was inactive from round 1 the following year.
He's the bitter pill we want. players need. If indeed true, he'll be hungry for a flag. He doesn't want to finish from footy and leave a legacy of "acheiving nothing" (basic footy metrics) after coming so close twice

Well, that'll do me. I'm always gonna get swayed by Facebook.
