I’m 50/50 on them to be honest. They are a lot better than this year suggests, but they’ve been horrid this year
I just reckon that they had too many blokes underdone going in to the year, we’re overconfident and when the wheels fell off imploded. Injuries all year have hurt too.
I’d assume they’ll respond.....but it is Melbourne

Will be given an easy FIXture next year ......but yes it is Melbourne

How good would it be if Essendon* and the plastics lose the 1st week of finals?

They had 14 players go through post season surgery and a few hobbled together a run of about two weeks worth of pre-season training. The 6-6-6 contributed to robbing them of their ability to start a couple of slower mids behind the ball at centre bounces, an area they produced a lot of drive from last season. Were up against it from the start.

Its not such a silly comment . They will get a very easy fixture next season and will have the extra time to get their players right before 2020 begins . I think its common knowledge they were pretty underdone and also got well ahead of themselves thinking it would just turn around .
They aren't a lock by any means but I wouldn't be surprised if they went back in.

Ross Lyon is gone.

[LuvMyHawks]

I heard the same thing, Lyon has left the Dockers

 

[bungholes_premiers]

the MASTER coach strikes again!

maybe he and Roos can join forces and pretend to save another club!

 

[Roger Rogerson]

suck s**t ross. terrible bloke

 

[Sixpence]

Changing my tip from Port to Freo. Interim coaches always knock up a win in their first game!

 

[Carl Spackler]

Wow. The Lyon news came out of nowhere. Not even a rumour really.

Well, after four years of hardly a coaching change the dam has sure broken this year.

Gone: Norf, Carlton, Saints, Freo

Likely: Port, Adelaide, GWS

Possible: Essendon, Melbourne


With so much turnover, clubs will be really struggling to find good coaching options.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Wonder if the Saints will take him back, especially after the way he left




Oh also, he’s a s**t coach

 

[QuietB]

Does Lyon get another job? Surely not - he has never won anything.

 

[BrainOfMorbius]

Polish off that resume, Vossy

[brew]

Tom Browne to announce that Freo is tempting Clarko with a multi-million dollar offer

 

[Steven Tyler]

North will be praying Brad Scott gets the job, otherwise they owe him $800,000 out of their soft cap

 

[Satchel]

would the Saints take him back - surely not if Ratts wants the job

 

[Carl Spackler]

Yeah, and with both Adelaide and Port to still sack their coaches I reckon Norf can start spending that money now. Brad Scott's pedigree has increased immeasurably. Scott and Voss are locks. Voss to Freo, Scott to Adelaide.

 

[Carl Spackler]

I think St Kilda was Lyon back about as much as they want cancer on their eyeballs.

 

[Steven Tyler]

Jordan Lewis announcing his retirement

Such a star for us

Justin Longmuir or Peter Sumich to Freo is my bet

 

[Carl Spackler]

On the plus side, their is plenty of content being generated this year to keep this bomb throwing series alive. A lot of grudges still to be nursed.

 

[Gaston]

Justin Longmuir or Peter Sumich to Freo is my bet

Interesting isn't it, you don't sack a bloke without having already sourced a replacement.
There is plenty of good vibe about Longmuir and being a former Docker paints a beautiful PR image.
