I just don't like it when people follow the medias view like sheep.
Is this the same David Noble who supposedly didn’t rate JL?
do you want me to send you a tape of the 2017 GF?
All I know is Stewy is a "winner". As a player Triple Premiership player, Central Districts, Port Power, Hawthorn, successful stint as an Assistant Coach at the Swans.

I think some people got a little prematurely excited over Jarryd's delisting.
Where did this come from again?
We always liked JL but he couldn't play Matt Crouch, JL and Scott Thompson in the same side. Too many similar types...similar size, similar pace, similar games as midfielders. We made a call which I am comfortable with.
JL got the offer from GC that was too good to refuse and we could not match it because we were of the belief that we were going to get Gibbs that trade period. We didn't and Lyons went off to GC. Not a huge loss. Our midfield performed as good as any in 2017 without Lyons. Just because we were not willing to offer him the sort of deal GC offered him, it doesn't mean we didn't like him. Essentially, we backed in Matt Crouch as a better player and rightly so. JL is a good solid player but he would still be too much of a similar thing in our midfield if he was here.
Bang on the money.....Why some couldn't see this at the time and still can't is unbelievable. I guess it just doesn't suit their agenda.
And Dewey is trying to change that.

So it's actually about cap space? Lmao.
I think Lyons seems to fall into that awkward category of not being considered elite, but he's still above average and thus commands a hefty price tag. They probably figure they can get similar output from Miles at a fraction of the price and cutting Lyons frees them up to chase top end recruits down the line.
What boggles my mind is why they didn't seek a trade for Lyons. Why let him walk out the door for nothing?
Getting rid of Cloke was a smart move. Shaw not so much. He's produced some very good footy at GWS.
As a comparison we’ve also seen how Mrouch (who I’m sure shades Lyons for clearance work anyway) has added more spread and general impact to his game away from clearances, as well as improving the accuracy of his kicking and developing his right foot so he gets in strife less often
I'm not sure that Gold Coast is a team that could do much in the way of helping someone generate stats outside of clearances. They've been completely s**t for the 2 years that he's been there. He averaged about 20 off a flank in his last year with us. Very little stoppage time and lowish TOG.
I remember he had a purple patch of 3 best on grounds including a stunning game for Juniors 300th playing alongside Gablett. I think this was when his detractors first started feeling they may have got it wrong. But like our mate Trump instead of admitting their mistake they doubled down on him.Playing for Brisbane might give him the best chance to show what he can do, although I think they said something about him supporting others. He’ll be behind Neale Zorko etc but hopefully for his sake he can get a good run at it
This line was pedalled by certain posters as the reason we shipped him off!Where did this come from again?

That's not the point at all though. People can't seem to understand that the Suns are doing him a solid by letting him go early so he can take a longer deal at a better team in Brisbane (and one where they hinted he might get coaching opportunities after it). Suns are s**t, they know they'll be s**t, they just brought in guys who can cover his position, so they're letting him go somewhere he can continue his career and make money, instead of being stuck in career purgatory at the Suns.
Not sure if serious. If you are, doesn’t explain the voting in suns b&f. They couldn’t be more blatent in what they think about him than that.

Are the Suns the new benchmark in best practice decision making in your view?
Why are you so excited about their prospects?
