“Ross was a great influence on me and he really drove me to become a better player and I couldn‘t thank him enough for the work that he did with me at my time at Fremantle.
“We had a couple of really stern conversations early on in my career. He basically told me when I came back from my first off-season that if I came back like this again I‘d be a fat little forward pocket at Glenelg pretty soon and play my 20 or 30 games and be out of the system.
“Those were the things that really drove me and I‘m glad I responded well to them. I think that Ross knew that would drive me, so yeah, full credit to Ross.”
You know you're not allowed to post shyte like that - it goes against the narrative.
Smack!
That doesn’t fit the “Evil Ross is taking over” storyline at all
Don't worry- potatoes will just reappear in a different thread.

Seeing Mathew 'Llordo' Llyod saying that his former side-kick and benefactor, 'Ross-the-Boss', needs to open his eyes to see what other coaches/clubs are doing these days, implying that he is in danger of being past it, was like a cyclist passing a wee-bit close to the side-mirror.
Wow.
Guru no more.
Make sure you close the door on your way out old man!
ouch!
As I posted before, reality bites...hard in this case.
He will also remove any assistant they doesn’t sing along with his tune
He will get in people who are his guys
Either it will work or set us back again
Interestingly Geoff Walsh hasn't been replaced.
Same sort of thing happened at Fremantle. They put up with him because he got so close a couple of times and they 'hoped' he could do it again.
The straw that broke the camels back was when he started losing players. Lachie Neale (one of Freo's best players and their 2 time best and fairest) wanted out of the club. Oh..and Ed Langdon too.
Ross had relationship issues with people. That's why Freo sacked him.
Little bit more in it than that, I'm afraid. That's why Carlton went cold on him.

There was a rumour that Blues factored in possible anger from female members in particular, about RTB's 'harrassment' issue at Freo. Not the main sticking point, but a point on the minus side of the ledger
A real Sainter will pledge allegiance to the ❤ and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.

Carlton have Kate Jenkins (Human rights and Equal Opportunity Commissioner) as a director on their board. She is the driving force between the ‘Carlton Respects’ initiative/game that has been implemented at the club re: raising awareness towards stopping violence and discrimination against women.
There was not a snowflakes chance in hell she would endorse Ross joining the club given his (recent) history.
Also FWIW; Walsh’s issue was with the Silvagni appointment.

What reality? That our midfield has limitations. We've known that for a few years.

Nah, i was referring to the above post and our coach. You should be able to work it out.

Good call GTrain
Judging by some of the RTB hater brigade comments on here….our midfield isn’t the only thing with limitations…

Lachie Neale credits Ross Lyons influence on his career as a key moment. Particularly around standards.
It doesn't matter if Lachie credits Ross as having influenced his career. I'm not disputing that.
Lachie is all class... I wouldn't expect him to publicly say anything negative....But...
Actions speak louder than words. What's more significant: his words or his actions in leaving Fremantle.
They are a relatively wealthy club with very large sponsors and they weren't wooden spooners with a bunch of ageing stars about to retire.
Lachie Neale left Fremantle. A favourite son. A dual Best and Fairest.
It's like us losing Sinclair or Jack Steele. It damages the team's future prospects.
and despise the Pies, the Blues, and the Injectors.
