I must be getting old - because my first personal reaction to change is always - negative!!
Change is good.............The right change is better.
Whether Lyon would be an upgrade on Malthouse would remain to be seen and as much as many of us don't like the Lyon model, he does know what he's doing and has plenty of steam left in him.
At this stage I think Malthouse is doing a great job in pooling together a cohesive unit, but whether he can again take that group to the top via his game-day coaching remains to be seen.
If Mick wants to remain coach he'll likely have to fight and that in itself isn't a terrible thing................even for an established coach.
