[JackFlash]

He'll be pushing the barrow uphill all year....

 

[Mofra]

"A souffle never rises twice"

He'll get their defensive system working and realistically was the best coach available.

Yeah the list is cactus, that’s the point - he knows that better than anyone.

 

[AFDogs]

Am I the only person who doesn't mind this appointment?

 

[Pusswah]

Every win and every loss.


Click click click

 

[The Nostradamus]

You would have thought they wouldn’t be desperate enough to turn to the guy that walked out on them

But here we are

 

[JackFlash]

I think he knows the club is cactus and was the only one that would consider giving him a job? I can't see them getting any higher than 12th in 2023 with the list they have got? They could actually finish lower?

 

[Pistol Night]

Am I the only person who doesn't mind this appointment?

He took them to 2 grand finals. It’s not like they’re appointing Mark Neeld. He’ll get them going better if they buy in and don’t crack the shits if he raises his voice from time to time

 

[Pistol Night]

But here we are

They sacked a bloke 99 days after giving him a 2 year extension. It’s a wonder they didn’t ask Malcolm Blight if he was interested again

Majority of our fans are very happy.

[Shadow89]

Majority of our fans are very happy.

Not through any fault of your own, but, majority of your fans have a very low bar for happiness, IMO

I think he knows the club's in the best shape its been in for over a decade ? Paying down their debt and 60,000 members ? He knocked back basket cases like Carlton and Essendon ? Can see us finishing 8 -10 ? maybe higher ?

O Happy Day ?

Lol what?

If Rattan can get this team to 10th then RTB plays finals. Happy days.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Lol media already making excuses for their mate, when they were so shocked that poor old Ratts got the axe.

 

[SaintsSeptember]

Cool , Ben Dixon was our goalkicking coach. I wonder why we let him go.

Because we couldn't kick for s**t?

Ross don't fix skill error remember.

 

[Shadow89]

Lol what?

You've been let down so many times and suffered a lot as supporters, so any possible ray of light is seen as a positive one, IMO.

It wasn't meant to be an insult, more a commentary on how your supporters are probably one of the most long-suffering fan bases - so you're crying out for something to change that. Personally I don't see Lyon as that guy, but who knows what the future holds.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

Personally I don't see Lyon as that guy, but who knows what the future holds.

Niether do I. I just hope the contract is iron clad so that the traitorious bastard can't resign for any reason and he can leave the proper way... being FIRED!

 

[Zevon]

Off field stuff aside, is there any indication that he might at least have discovered a teeny tiny minuscule bit more of a desire for attacking football? Or is he expecting to walk back in and relive the halcyon days when 8 goals was a winning score?

 

[ChristianBoy]

It's almost like getting rid of a premiership coach and employing the presidents favorite player as coach for no good reason..

 

[Pistol Night]

It's almost like getting rid of a premiership coach and employing the presidents favorite player as coach for no good reason..

Exactly. And now I’ll say something bad about your club to reinforce this
