my Take
Collingwood news- Pendelbury resigning....

saints News.- again I'm guessing he's picked up on " St Kilda coach Ross Lyon: I'll go if team loses trust" and will have gone hunting for a player former or present who will say something......

Happy to be signing my contract tomorrow to stay at the club until the end of 2012.

1 year contract???

Surely a 1 year contract isn't in his own personal best interests.. Even if it gets him a lot of bargaining power with gws..

wouldve thought a 1 yr deal would only make speculation around his future worse.....lets hope.

There's a get-out clause in Lyon's contract apparently available to both parties (himself and the club). That's the news.

WOW

Thank You James- I agree- not the only one .... most clubs would be making sure such clauses are there- to save MONEY IF things take a turn for the worse....

Has there ever been a season where so many non stories get extensive coverage by the press?

As far as I could tell, they knew the club would never move him on after this year (i hope at least) thanks to the success we've had with him over the last two years, so they started to drum up the 'lyon will walk' angle.

Awful reporting imo

Where did they drag this gutter smuttering crab of a journalist?

Seriously...........he makes a big deal of a "get out clause".......and Brayshaw says..."to be fair....thats in 90% coaches contracts.."

What a dud.

This is what happens when you get a journo on a show on a weekly basis and you pump up his tyres as the AFL's greatest newsbreaker.

What happens if there's no real news in a particular week? Does Damien say I better not come on tonight as I don't have anything to report?

No, I think we've just seen what happens

Maybe he wants to see how Bucks goes first?

Club want to offer him an extension and probably will. What a friggin beat up.

good sign him and get it done.

Focus on the rebuild if thats what it is.

Lyons got us to GF's - most succesful coach since Jean. He deserves a chance to rebuild so let him get on with it.

Waiting to "see how it goes till half way through next year" changes little for me cause to guage a rebuild success will take longer than that anyway.

IF the desire is there from coach and club...get on with it.
Why allow this sort of distracting dribble to spill over into another year?

Why does anyone care what the guy says unless you are actually worried. As far as I am concerned people can say what they like.

So 'journalist's' (those trained and those self appointed) have the Plugger stamp of approval to lie, cheat, distort, twist without fear of consequence and only in the name of entertainment.

Dumb.

What I want to know is why Ross and the club bother putting anyone on that hackneyed rubbishy variety hour. It's a nonsense program well past its due date and anything said or done on it is utter crap. Make a stand ST K. Stick your middle digit up at Eddie Corp and concentrate your energies on the important stuff.

That's what I reckon.

Did he do any of that. Anyway no one watches the show. I have been told that on many occasions. We are far to precious when things are mentioned about our club. What was said last night will not even get mentioned in any other media because it is a non story. The footy show is entertainment. Most news isnt news.

Having stopped watching the show years ago, can anyone tell me when was the last time they 'broke' a negative story about Collingwood (Club, players or administrators) on that show?
I'm envious of their 'perfect record' in running things 100% correctly and never having any issues to 'handle'.

From reports on here over time it would appear that every Club, except Collingwood, have been the 'target' of their 'incisive investigative journalism' at one stage or another.

I just wish we were run as perfectly as Collingwood appear to be.
Then we wouldn't have to wake up to negative stories about our Club, players or administrators.

Is it still on? What channel?
Do they still print the Herald Sun daily while we are at it?

What I found interesting about what Barrett said was;

There was a clause in Ross' contract. Both Barrett & Garry Lyon appeared to be very excited that this was a "BIG" story until James Brayshaw butted in and said that most coaches would have a similar cause. This seemed to get Barrett a bit miffed as it stuffed the story up.

Barrett admitted that he was "speculating" with this story even though both Ross & the club have said he is there for the long haul. The word "speculating" is interesting in this context. Is he calling Ross & Michael Nettlefold liars? Is "speculating" journo speak for trying to make something out of nothing? I would love to see Spud Frawley and/or Jason Dunstall take Barrett to task over this on air on MMM this weekend

I believe that there is way too much "speculating" in the media these days. I liken it to gambling; sometimes they get it right, sometimes they get it wrong. The only difference is that they are using the credibility of those they "speculate" about as their gambling comodity !!
