To every one that craps on about Lyon...

[SainterK]

You've lost me spinner?

Just pointing out Ross flew in to a pretty decent list, for a second time.

[SainterK]

Nettlefold had a year to get Ross's extension done, if you snooze you lose.

How you could let a grandfinal coach walk out uncontracted, with a ridiculous clause in his contract is just that... Ridiculous!

It looks like the most inept decision made in the history of the club (followed by Seaford) right ATM?

You too, you think he was a chance to stay?

As soon as the story of his financial duress came out, don't reckon he was a chance to stay.

Maybe I'm wrong..

[Jacks Back]

Lyin is a mercenary arse wipe. GO HAWKS.

Go Freo

[Moods]

I hope Freo. Couldn't care less either way about RL, although I respect him as a coach - but I reckon it would be funny seeing the hawks lose another one. Their supporters seem to think they have some divine right to win flags and are insufferable. Also will be good to see a team win their first flag.

[satchmo]

I wonder how Nettlefold & his board are thinking now after they let the best coach in the league leave?

I met Nettlefold years ago and thought he was a jive talking tossbag, nothing has changed.

Are you his mother in law?

[borderbarry]

I dont like what he did to the Saints, but he sure can coach, especially defensive tactics. It looks like Freo for the flag unfortunately.

Big question is...when did he do the deal?

[BigMart]

Gave him a new contact offer in May 2011 for 4 years - Yes, he'd have signed

[SainterK]

Deposit with 90 day settlement?

[SainterK]

Gave him a new contact offer in May 2011 for 4 years - Yes, he'd have signed

I'm not so sure...

[BigMart]

He wanted stk to commit to a deal. The fact he was annoyed there wasn't a good deal, is a part of him leaving. He felt he'd earned a bigger and longer contract.

I think he was smarter than you, i think he knew his list strategy had caught up with him and the fact that the Pelican now had total control meant that he was better off bailing, which he did..

So you bought the Lyon spin?

That's clearly wrong as both parties decided to put talks off until the end of that year.

[SainterK]

He put that out there, certainly..

He wanted the untenable vibe to be well known.

It was his way of telling the market, come at me.

Like satcho said, I reckon purple suitcases of cash were around quite awhile.

Ultimately he said he was agreeing to terms, and when the press arrived, he was on a plane.

[BigMart]

Disagree.... Discussion with his manager (Harvey's mgr) would have been almost by accident IMO. Discussing Harvey, Lyons contract status and happiness would initially have just been mentioned as an inquiry.... When it was revealed about discontent, the negotiation would have been swift. Board meeting, decision to make offer, make offer all in 48 or less hrs IMO

[SainterK]

Who revealed the discontent, was Lyon, via the media....quite early in the year.

Of course freo should of picked up he had itchy feet.

[Wayne42]

Ross is obviously a great coach, he may well be better than most that coach at AFL level

Dees were sniffing around too.

Everyone was lying as well.

Well at least we know what goes on in your imagination.

He went on record as saying that it was his idea to bring in Pelchen after he was advised by his mentor Richard Colless to do so.

What relationship those two had i have no idea.

or am I being rude? Sorry in advance if I am.

Idiot, but you knew that..

[noddy]

Don't worry guys, I still think Hawks should win easy. Hawthorn's footskills are a step ahead. Freo's anti-footy won't work against them and certainly not at the G. I honestly see Hawthorn doubling Fremantle's score next week. So a 40-50 point win.

[SainterK]

Provided its dry noddy...

Imbecile.
