Can Ross get a flag in the next 2 years to fulfill his footy dream?
Where would he go if this speculation is true? I think he'd be a good fit at Essendon with coteries, or Dees with their particular membership profile.

This is it for Ross.
Why would another club hire him?
On what basis?

For some reason, I can see Ross Lyon coach another club.

Why would another club hire him? Experience counts.

Port fans bag out Ken Hinkley and his 13 years. Fair enough no flag or even a grand final.

Ross Lyon got saints and dockers to a grand final.

Lyon also hasn't won a final in a decade.

The Roar is the worst AFL news site around atm. They don't fact check their articles at all. I believe they posted a damning article not long back that was blatantly bad.

Saints better sign Enright up ASAP. If Chris Scott

is off to Tasmania, or elsewhere (contract ends 2026), Cats may lure Enright home

I also forgot to say The Roar also posts some awful clickbait articles. Essentially like the screenrant of the AFL.

You mean Enright isn't a 4 time premiership player

So, this information is not actually true?

For our benefit I reckon.

 

[Ice-Wolf]

If you were Enright you may as well just take a job at another Club because Ross is not going to leave willingly (unless he has a better monetary offer elsewhere or the cheque bounces) and the St Kilda Board wont/cant sack him.

So, this information is not actually true?

I would take it with a mountain of salt say compared to any other source. Wait until other more reputable journalists start reporting on it.

They'll probably sign up Dangerfield as Captain/Coach if Scott leaves.

Yet found himself employed during a Pandemic lol

 

[Cleric]

I can't see this as true.
St Kilda dont have the talent to do much more than Ross has them doing.

Maybe St Kilda wasn't the team for Ross to go to in the first place. Everyone knows he isnt a development coach, but one to put the icing on the cake.
When a team is ready, he comes in, puts the defensive discipline needed to win a flag in, and off they go.

 

[Iago]

Except he has never won a flag. Off they go...nearly.

58 - 89 over the last 6 and a half seasons. Not really a great record.
One thing I will say is they are a tipster's nightmare. Never know when they are going to pull a monster game out of their backside. Only to turn it up the next week.

Fortunately you don't read the Roar then.

Mountain of salt, opposite to grain of salt, implies a degree of belief...

I reckon Ross' Saints have done pretty well and shown something this year, the last game for example against Collingwood they were very competitive and troubled them at times.

To get to the grand final with two different teams is pretty rare, and that doesn't happen with poor coaches. While he didn't win any of them he did draw one.

I think that is where St Kilda is at. The limitation isn't the coach, its the list and their injuries.

Ross is done.

He was done after Freo. I dunno what the hell Saints were thinking shafting Ratten for him but their club isn't exactly known for making good decisions.

You must have missed that Bulldogs game.

Putrid.

Dangerfield will make a good AFL coach one day, if he goes down that path. Bookmark it. He is articulate and respected.

I would think he us more likely to go down the administration path, like heading up the AFLPA. That will then allow him more time to surf and fish.
