Re: Ross Lyon to GWS??
I reckon if he coach’s again it will be a team that he believes has enough talent and resources won’t be a bottom team.
As for Clarke he’s coaching us next year isn’t he?

Re: Ross Lyon to GWS??
I would have thought that GWS would be far more interested in Clarko than Lyon. They need to rebuild, and Lyon doesn't seem to want to do that.
They need Clarko because they desperately need to remain prominent in the media. If they lose their media profile, they will be dead. They are clearly the most artificial of all the post-1986 AFL teams: they don't have a large loyal supporter base, or even a clear geographical home (are they a Western Sydney team or a Canberra team? I think they'd actually go better purely as a Canberra team, but that's not my problem).
Anyway, we'll see what happens. Clarko might have the chance to become a very wealthy man: not bad for a boy from Kaniva!

Small supporter base in remote area.
Highly skilled players.
Something to work with.

Re: Ross Lyon to GWS??
Yep
Apart from all the stupid, childish “I hate Ross” rubbish he’ll add a discipline to that side that Cameron never could
Ironically when he announced he was leaving Cameron he mentioned how much he admired Lyon as a coach who when he commits is 110% …and to Cameron’s credit he could no longer offer that.
GWS need a harder edge
Lyon will demand it.
“Yeah….nah””

Re: Ross Lyon to GWS??
Your continual defense of a has been/never was dud of a coach is embarrassing....for you.

Re: Ross Lyon to GWS??
Lyon was a true innovator in 09 with the forward press and pressure and an industry leader and respected coach.
He took Saints & Freo to GF which no other Freo coach could do and no saints coach since Alves in 97, despite us having the best and most balanced list I have ever seen assembled at the saints in 04-05 seasons.
Talk to Rooey or his dad about Lyon, they love him like family.
Would I touch Lyon as a coach now?
No way, his time has passed, move onto the next generation.
He had his chance and couldn't get the chocolates much like Rodney Eade and many other good coaches in their era.
But if GWS want to go for it, knock themselves out!

Re: Ross Lyon to GWS??
Re Lyon: he still has something to offer IMO. Sure, team structures and game plans have evolved a bit since he last coached, but the guy exerts strong leadership over his players, and that never goes out of fashion.
As I posted earlier, I think the Giants need someone with a strong reputation as a team builder: Clarkson or (although neither are likely to be available) Beveridge or Hardwick. Lyon would be beneficial at clubs like the Magpies, Suns and Crows, which are currently underperforming relative to the talent they have available.

One thing lyon demands is accountability- something too few giants have shown over the years. Callam ward a notable exception.

From what I've heard, James Hird may be the front runner right now.
Apparently he is very popular with the players.

I think this notion that Llyon is an outdated coach and all....I mean,...how do you know? Just because his plans and structures from '09/'11 wouldn't roll now, who is to say he would be 'stuck' using them?
Surely, he would have different mechanisms/models/game plans etc., nowadays. All the coaches now in the business were around 10 years ago and have changed.
So, I think the, 'his time has passed' thing is kinda lame. Unless you have evidence that his way of thinking is fixed in a mindset frozen ten years ago and he has lost teh capacity to learn.
The most successful coach now is Chris Scott. He was coaching ten years ago. How has he kept Geelong competitive?
