Interested in the board's thoughts. Seems he's quite divisive so want to know where the majority stands
Probably first choice for mine given the experience and where he's gotten two separate clubs to. Hard to really rate any of the untried coaches yet and mainly for that reason but most the names popping up haven't been in the ranks for as long as someone like Ross which I think pays off. Not always the case though obviously and am pretty open to whoever we go for but I think we'd get a pretty strong coach in Lyon if that's what we did.
I don't like his defensive mindset as a coach, but then he has got 2 different teams to the Grand Final, which isn't a bad coaching record.
Don't know much about the potential coaches, but the real question to me is, who is a better coaching candidate than Ross Lyon?
He got them to a grand final, fell short the following year but thought that was a decent effort.Where has he gotten Fremantle?

There list really isn't anything special now. Just don't feel like you could say he's underachieved with what he's had. Well I guess you could say that St.Kilda team should have won one, they got damn close too.
The main question we really need to ask as fans and as a club:Someone who's not Ross Lyon.
Seriously, how is this even a consideration? Does the team seem like it needs a Ross Lyon right now, or a bring the fun back to football coach, like someone completely not Ross Lyon, unless playing defensively is actually fun.

Do we want a coach who is attacking and fun? Or do we want one that can win a premiership (even if it's completely defensive)?
Same, but I'm unsure we have the current cattle to make it attack and fun - you need plenty of speed and skill to do that, and we simply don't have that currently as a team, compared with the top current teams.We don't know he can do either so if we're going to roll the dice I'll take attacking and fun.

Where’s the Jack Watts option?Interested in the board's thoughts. Seems he's quite divisive so want to know where the majority stands
It does, I guess I mark getting two separate teams to the final day pretty highly - for mine it means it's not the system he comes into but more the system he implements as the reason they've got that far.It sucks for coaches that go one game short of the ultimate, but that's what history remembers. I feel like we need some freshness, but will that challenge the institution, probably not. I honestly would hate to see us play defensively every week. It's not what football is about in my view.
Pyke brought in a great game plan into 2017 which we all got behind. Outside of the team selection, I don't think there was a huge deal wrong with him. Seems like he lost the list though and wasn't able to come back from that but some of the systems he implemented for us/WCE were very impressive which is why I think plenty still feel he still has more to give the AFL industry as a head coach again at some point.Okay I will play. Ross Lyon has an uncanny knack of inheriting a good list, getting them to a losing GF, and then not develop kids so the club goes backwards . I mean seriously isn’t that what Pyke did?
