Who saw any of this coming???
Ok then where are the Confucius's of this board.
Can anyone honestly say they say ANY of this coming. I'm talking about what has occurred sans our loss to Sydney.
Curious.
This is how fickle our great game is and can be.

Sing it loud and sing it proud but most of all hang around for this club will rise to claim the prize and then we will realise its not such a surprise.

Further to Bernard's Post, had some good info tonight that Ross may have been talking to Freo for a few weeks - read last time Freo were Melb.
Will know more tomorrow and will Post if it is true, rather than just another rumor, but the source is knowledgeable.
Other than that, I doubt whether any outsiders had a clue, including me. But the "insiders" certainly knew that things were crook in Tallarook.

I expected significant change but knew not what.
"The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break in the game. Every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches that's gonna make the f***in' difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!'

When we went defensive in the last quarter of the final against the Swans I said I touhght he was going to Melbourne and would announce his resignation after the game. I really thought we had that game won until then and wondered why he changed the way we were playing....but did not even think about Freo being the poachers.

Yep St Michele I can remember our conversation at the end of that game. How bemused we were of the changes he made in the last quarter............ My only explanation to you was the lads had expended so much energy to get back into the game during the third quarter and said to him they were feeling exhausted and Lyon possibly decided to go back to playing defensive footy and slow down footy for awhile then ramp it up later in the quarter..........but no the defensive mindset had taken over.St Michele wrote:When we went defensive in the last quarter of the final against the Swans I said I touhght he was going to Melbourne and would announce his resignation after the game.

Yes you distinctly commented it looked like he wanted to lose the game, and maybe he is going to Melbourne...........you just got your clubs wrong dear friend.

I certainly thought he could definitely go to melbourne. But F*** me. I never saw freo coming.
When my mate texted me I thought it was a typo/joke.

When Ross said the weasel words about being as "committed as ever", I had a feeling "in my waters" that was off and posted to that effect on here. I recall that a few agreed with me, but most thought he was saying he was going to stay.
I personally believe that he tried his best in the game against the Swans. It was the usual arm wrestle stuff in tHe first two quarters, then he allowed the team to take risks and play catch up footy in the third quarter and then would have felt at the beginning of the last that we were close enough to resume the arm wrestle.
A typical Lyon coaching performance. I have never thought much of thr bloke as a human being, but I can't imagine him deliberately throwing games.
