And this
Lyon's defection from St Kilda to the helm of Fremantle will stand as the low point on a football landscape riddled with dishonesty and treachery.

He can't hide those Lyon eyes.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Whately is one of the best in the business.

Interesting about how he feels Rocket Eade is most suited to taking the helm.

I must say it is nice to have the media on our side for once instead of hounding us which normally happens during the off season!


In Ross Get lost!

I am excited to stay at St Kilda and this is a great result for the Club and all our fans. I’m proud to be part of the Saints and am pleased to be playing football with the Clubâ€

Terrible circumstances in which to have them on our side, but I agree.

Perhaps it was RL who they really hated all along, not us? :lol:

Ross Lyon has always been despised in the media. They will have a field day running with this story.

I find Gerard a bit arrogant at times but there's no doubt he's a great caller and a terrific journalist. And this piece encapsulates my entire feeling on the subject. Ross had every opportunity to leave with class and dignity, instead he leaves looking like mercenary.

It ain't a popular decision in perth either. wonder if there will be any fallout over here.

Perthnow running a poll about Harveys sacking, 8700votes, 75% say he shouldnt have been sacked.

If Fremantle fail to succeed it could go down as one of the biggest blunders in AFL history.

Hutchy and Whatley are at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Great article from Gerard. Sums it up perfectly.
