Another bad loss during a rebuild since we're meant to be contenders also apparently -

"Ross Lyon approached Collingwood for Buckey's position"

Aaaaand media making up shit again. I wonder why it took half an hour after a loss for this to be breaking news and not after last weeks win - or during Collingwood's slump. :rolleyes:

This y have been mentioned in an earlier post. Alleged on 6PR that Lyon thru a third party had made a subtle enquiry about taking over from Buckley.
Lyon denied he had been approached by Colon Wood but no-one had asked him if his manager had made the approach?

Is he really the right person to take us forward?

As bad as today was, he knows that it's part of the process of development. He also knows that some of the blokes that let us down today will be gone soon. We've got plenty of young talent coming through and he'd fancy himself to develop those guys into a successful team.

So why not play Nyhuis instead of Pearce or Suban?

He should elevate Duman and give him a game to see what he has to offer.

Has RTB got the patience for he rebuild?

Melbourne and Gold Coast have made it pretty clear that shoehorning players into the team just because they're young never really works.

Nyhuis is most comfortable as rebounding defender, a role which neither Suban or Pearce play.

This year has being one of the most 'even' league we have seen due to dilution of the talent pool. Which begs the question have we really improved or the competition isn't as good?

Ross game plan doesn't work, its a fact. Does anybody remember the teams who were 'unlucky'? He had such a talented saints list, its a joke he didn't win a premiership with them.

Yeah and brennan cox is not a forward's areshole.
I've got an idea, lets draft another ******* defender with pick 5.
We can have 20 of them and have a % of 70!!
I'm hoping for another skinny Victorian midfielder who wants to go home in two years

Surely Ross would have known where things were at or heading when he re-signed?
Ross doesn't give a shit because a 5 year deal means he will get a pay out if the club terminates him.

The GCS are so desperate for a coach like him, he will get a job one way or the other.

I think that was another case of Ross just shuffling magnets around when we're getting thumped. Seems to happen to players who are on the precipice of being dropped (hopefully).

May be wrong but don't think he started back.

Was definitely in defence from the first bounce.

It was almost like Ross was trying to prove to someone that Danyle is finished so put him back there to make an absolute embarrassment of himself and leave no one in any doubt.
