I refuse to knock you and I also refuse to beleive there isnt better out there. By the way where are all these people who said he will sign for n ext season. Hiding I suppose. Also where are the knockers of the media who said he will go. Hiding in the same spot.
I'm right here. Stunned. Not writng anymore, just reading, trying to learn and understand.
We'll get through it, as usual. More worried about him taking Misson. The stuff about him contacting Freo weeks ago hurts the most. Imagine what the players are thinking. Now GWS and others are licking their lips. Strong response from club needed.
Just My Opinion

Not just last week, he has made a few cocky-UPS in the last 7-8 weeks. He and Freo deserve each other

It seems in the footy world more often than not where there's smoke there's one almighty blaze.
it's clear he is not a rebuilder. the freo list is in good shape in terms of not needing to rebuild it.
OMG what a f..k.ng a.ssh.l. Take your negative safety net game style and do your little gay walk across the nullarbor with a poofy purple anchor on your shirt..............Watch Freo's average score creep down and down

Ross Lyon's management approached Fremantle about 6 weeks ago and asked if they would be interested next year.
Pelchen started at the club 7-8 weeks ago.
Coincidence?
Nope.
YEP
After Pelchen was appointed; Grant Thomas was quoted as saying that there was no way Lyon and Pelchen would work together. I thought it sounded strange at the time but no doubt the truth will come out in the next few weeks.
I once spent a year in Adelaide, I think it was on a Sunday.

I'm a lady and I would love to use that word right now - so don't apologise use it freely as I want to do right now!!!!!
I know a bit random but I feel so bad for the Mr a die hard fan for all his 38 years and I just had to leave a voice mail for him with what has happened before he saw all the facebook comments
My old man always complained that his treatment of Ball and Maxy towards the end of a near perfect season in 2009 cost us the flag that was rightfully ours. He is now 100% correct in my eyes. Has never waivered from that line of thought. Lyon created unrest in a settled line up in the last couple of weeks of a close to perfect season.
so ross has taken the mining boom $$$$$$ and moved on. Reckon we were unlucky in 2009 - radical press nearly pinched the flag, just we met a champion team on the rebound. Filth stole the blueprint and improved on it in 2010 - unlucky again
we will never find out if ross was just a one trick pony or if he could have fathomed a more attacking game plan with the team
Bomber's mind was not on the job last year - Ross looks like he bailed in July - August
just so glad that the board has not gone overboard just to keep him, sold the silverware, mortgaged the house when as we know times are tough
change makes opportunity - we will see whether some of our kids can play
