Bluemour Melting Pot XXIX

[WalshistheGOAT]

I’d way rather Lyon over Fremantles 4th best mid
Fyfe, Brayshaw and Serong all ahead of him. Yes, he is good, but Lyon is way more important.

So would I mate, I personally don't want Cerra at all for what he'll cost. He's a good player but he's not a Bailey Smith or Butters level player

 

[The Fantom]

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.

Have a look at the GF teams he coached, a number of plodders/ spuds in those teams. Good effort to get in there with two teams.

I’ve never been a fan of Lyon just pointing it out.

Unfortunately Teague looks gone, the club and players need clean air, imagine going through this speculation again next year. Another stuff up by the club.

No.

Just off the top of my head Fyfe, Walters, Montagna, Neale, Jack Steven all broke out under Ross. In saying that he does have a reputation for sticking with his tried and tested best 22.

So you did say it yet here you are adding nothing ..

Where have I added nothing champ?

 

[Carlton lad]

My dads statement on current events at our club:

"I have been watching Carlton play since the 1960's. But I find the current board administration and players unrecognisable. They don't play with any passion and almost seem happy when they lose. Maybe their thinking about their pay packets to fall back on. The Carlton Football Club when I was a kid was a powerhouse of the competition. The benchmark of the completion. Teams did not like venturing to Princes Park for our home games. The current players are an embarrassment to the AFL. What Carlton needs is a complete cleanout. Someone needs to come to the club with a very large broom and sweep out the president, the board and administration in 1 go. We need someone like Jack Elliott or his son Tom to return to the club ASAP. Most supporters of my age have either given up or become completely dislodged with the current club. The final straw for me was the demolition of the Pratt stand recently. Apparently this was just another of Loguidice's community projects. He fails to recognise how important this stand was for old time club supporters like myself that contained the Bruce Doull and Alex Jeasoulenko suite as well as the cups. Its unforgivable. The club has lost its soul, as well as its purpose. And not surprisingly we finished well out of the finals race, yet again. How long are members going to put up with this. We need a complete revolution down at Princes Park and I'm happy to start it. These clowns that think that they perpetuate themselves inside the board room, need to be exposed to the membership. While most other clubs embark on 5 year plans to win Premierships, Carlton is on a 26 year plan and running to head in the opposite direction. Good luck, you're going to need it"

Do we think that Lyon is a smokescreen for Clarkson?

No we don't talk a lot of "smoke and shadows behind the window".

 

[GT619]

IF Lyon is our coach next season you'd have to think Clarko wont be coaching next year.

Has clarko said no

 

[17SetMeFree]

No we don't talk a lot of "smoke and shadows behind the window".

LOL

Has clarko said no

Don't quote me on this, I actually have a feeling the club (for whatever reason) has gone cold on Clarkson, not the other way around.

 

[BringFevBack2021]

Just looked at the Freo side(s) that he took to Semi’s, Prelim’s and a GF - our list is a LOT better than that one was

 

[Benaly28]

Whoever it is we CANT stuff it up anymore.

Go in there straighten out the list.Weed out the crap,develop the kids and come up with a game plan that suits the players we have.

The rest will take care of itself.

It's various things. Have to negotiate with everyone so neither Clarko or Ross think they hold all the cards.

A big issue is Clarko has a 900k vacation for next year which will be hard to negotiate against. That's quality time with his family that may have been lacking over the past decade, that's a serious long vacation and he may have his family giving input in regards to this.

 

[17SetMeFree]

Just off the top of my head Fyfe, Walters, Montagna, Neale, Jack Steven all broke out under Ross. In saying that he does have a reputation for sticking with his tried and tested best 22.

People forget during the his peak at the saints, he had to deal with the St kilda school girl BS distraction that would never go away

I’m not sure that is right. He played a pretty big role in Fyfe’s ascension (was only 21 when Lyon took over) and integrated Neale and Walters as rookies at Fremantle.
He did well with those Saints teams who’s core of Riewoldt, Koschitzke, Goddard, Dal Santo, Montagna were coming into their prime, a bit like McKay, Curnow, Silvagni, Weitering, Walsh, Dow etc.
If it’s true he’s about to be appointed head coach then I think it’s a good fit for us.

 

[Mezzoculo]

I am a fan of Ross Lyon. Second chance coaches are rare in the AFL for whatever reason.

What about second second chance coaches?

(St Kilda/Freo/Carlton?)...

Really? I’d go as far as saying most of what’s happened in the last 20 years is because of the complete state of ruin John Elliott left the club in.
