Who says rolling the dice need be part of the equation?

A bigger deal out west.
I'm not for it, but I'm not against it. His record is certainly good but recent times with Freo has me spooked about if he is the right coach for us.

The leader of the bunch.
I'm on the fence with this one.
He's clearly a capable match day coach. Much, much better than Pyke in this regard.
Personality wise, he's a strong character who will get what he wants (Ben Hart, you're fired). There's some negatives there too, re. the sexual harassmant incident.
The big query is whether he can build a side, not just take over an already good side and get them challenging for a flag.
It must be said though that Fremantle's drafting, particularly with early picks, has been fairly poor for a number of years. It's not like they've had the likes of Fog and Jones rotting away in the state league.
Overall, he'd be an upgrade on Pyke. Is he the best out there? Hmmm, possibly.

I don’t get this fixation with wossy’s perceived faults, in comparison with an untried coach who might not be any good at all?
Holding Woss to a higher standard than others doesn’t make sense
The biggest risk is an untried rookie coach

My guess is that people feel Ross Lyon is a 'known quantity' a known quantity who has yet to win a flag at 2 clubs. He got close, but ultimately didn't get there.
People seem to think that there is less risk in a rookie coach, as you might find a gym. For every Clarkson though, there is a Voss.
Ross is the type that could do what we hoped, given time, Phil Walsh would do.
And that is to finally change the culture of this football club.

That won't happen while Roo and Chapman are here. Doesn't matter who is in charge, if Lyons ideas don't match up with theirs then it won't happen.
So probably the only way he gets the job is if he agrees with them.
watch this space . . .
It always is unless they're already proven (like Clarkson, Hardwick etc.). Lyon isn't proven and there are a number of question marks, otherwise the poll wouldn't be so bad against having him.

Lyon isn't proven !!@??
Some people's personal opinion of him has nothing to do with his coaching ability .

When Lyon was first linked to the coaching job I was outraged.
Then I saw the list of possible candidates. Has there ever been a leaner list of gettable coaching ‘talent’?
Do we go for a rookie? A rookie coach stepping into a ‘rebuild’? That could go either way but just doesn’t feel right.
Now I’d prefer Ross over the the rest of the field.
BTW, we do realise Clarkson will never be available don’t we?

No, in his entire coaching career he has shown no desire or ability to develop youth. He goes for the mature players every single time he can and that is the last thing we need given our club already leans that way and we desperately need a rebuild. If that is what we're looking for we might as well just appoint campo because the results will be the same, another 4 wasted years.
Proven he hasn't won a flag in 13 years.
Yeah my point was Lyon isn't proven either, not that we could get a proven coach. Which is why I think we may as well get the best rookie available.
I understand the player relationship argument but Lyon didn't have close relationships with all of the players at Fremantle.

Has he even been interviewed?
and at St Kilda he was known for having a very poor relationship with many players, even senior ones.
Rumour he has but that means no idea.
Nobody here knows.
So we want a coach that can be close to ALL the players?
Man am I out of touch.
I have completely different ideas of what would make a good candidate.

No I didn't say that.
