Cripps is playing in a s**t team so he gets all the kudos when he plays well. I'd like to see him in a halfway competitive team before we start selling the farm for him.
There are less good available coaches than there are good players in the competition we could poach.
I'm not seeing a replacement for Lyon who is better than him so why wait to sign him?

Our Favourite saints poster, remarkable wasnt blaming Alan Richardsons crap coaching but was blaming the Chinese Umpires and food poisoning for the saints loss to Port
I think future of Ross, Freo and Carlton depends on how freo is going to play in the next 11 games.. If we do not make finals he may not be coaching at both clubs, If we make finals he will be wanted at both clubs. But I am not sure Freo will be able to match carlton for contracting long 4-5 years.... If we are offering only 2-3 years may be better to increase the contract value so that both freo and ross are satisfied?
Absolutely!!!
Lyon is ZERO chance of going to Carlton.
Brett Ratten to Carlton
Ross Lyon to St Kilda
Lol at trying to state something like this with authority. Just lol.

I’m sure there’s nothing in it except being mates and outside business interests
But it’s not ideal is it, optics will likely piss off freo leaders
What’s his angle? Trying to see who blinks first - a contract extension or he walks?

Lol! What a flip that would be though from the football community. Ross supposedly can't rebuild yet one of the biggest Melbourne clubs take him on specifically for that task. Talk about a turnaround in attitude! Haha!

Ross had barramundi. Its going to be an exclusive on 7 news. Baz is rewriting the lead question now.
Becuase he still has 1.5 years left on his contract.
Because we were 6 n 7 at our bye in 2018 and won 2 games from there on.
Because we were 6 n 3 after round 9 in 2017 and won 2 games from there on.
Because there is a LOT more for Ross to prove.
You are kidding, yeah...
...no, of course you are. Haha good one

Having arbitrary deadlines and KPI's is all well and good but at the end of the day if a 5 year deal gets thrown at Lyon then the ball is in our court to decide earlier than the made up deadline if we want to keep him or not. From everything that we've seen from Lyon between 2012 - 2019 he's absolutely worth an extension and the reason the speculation exists right now in the first place.
Lyon does not bleed purple, he is a business man like all coaches, that's the reason we got him to begin with. If our management is inflexible and he gets a better deal from else where I think he absolutely will walk.

Smartly played by Rosco right there, Freo on the up, nice little excuse to be in Melbourne for a cheeky lunch, nice little excuse to have lunch with his business partner. Perfectly timed little PR shot in the arm for all things Ross.
The Carlton job would have to be bloody attractive, it’s all up side and we all know he likes a good poach! It’s brave to say there’s ZERO chance of that happening again.

The club will hold him to his contract. Either he see's it out OR he tries to break it and the club refuses to release him.
The Fremantle Football club gain nothing from letting him go a year early.
Lyon also has a lot to lose, does no one remember the absolute s**t show that was Fremantle poaching him from St Kilda?
My lord, if he was to try to do it again he would be lynched. Luckily, unlike St Kilda it seems like FFC know how to write contracts without exit clauses.
Simpson is signed up til 2022, a 3 year extension. A similar deal for Ross ie 2022 would be the smart move.
If the Boss wants more then I would let him walk.
If 3 years for Simpson who had only made a GF, finals and before last years finals series, we would be stupid to
offer Ross any longer.

Also remember Carlton love sacking coaches midseason in recent memory ;p
Surely coaching Carlton is less of a sure thing long-term wise compared to his current posting...

Am I missing something, why would we extend his contract now when both North and Carlton will have appointed their new coaches at the end of this year and Ross is locked in for 1 more year left on his contract with us.
