Title: Ross Lyon to Richmond in 2016
Post by: No More on April 11, 2015, 06:50:53 PM
I believe his contract with Fremantle finishes this year. He is a quality coach who could improve us further. If available we should target him.

Nope, crap game style and has never built a club from the bottom. Has achieved nothing in career..

Bomber Thompson for me. Has a lot to stick up AFL and Bombers for shafting him for the devil.

Wouldn't go near Thompson. Too much baggage and his coaching of Essendon left a bit to be desired. Was Geelongs cattle carrying the team? I believe so

Tough circumstances coaching under the drama but he took them to finals.

Bred some great leaders at Geelong in Harley, Ling and Selwood.  That's what we need

Ramps i like your posts mate but seriously look at us. Dud assistant coaches(bar 1) of which we got rid of 2 IIRC and replaced them with SFA.

American woman as a president who offers nothing really IMO, coach talking to the media about not performing in bed with his wife.

Yep Rossy Lyon just cant wait to arrive at Punt Road.

Thompson.

No Ross please. Don't want to see us kicking 80 points and beating teams kicking 50. Ever.


Throw the sink at Thompson if necessary. Guy can clearly coach.
Title: Re: Ross Lyon to Richmond in 2016
Post by: Hellenic Tiger on April 11, 2015, 09:37:37 PM
What difference does it make.
We saw the Messiah complex with Wallace and how that panned out.
Now he is the list organiser on SEN.
Please. We are a skata footy club.
At the end of the day whichever fly sits on us what would that do if the club is going to make the call
next year and we'll need a half rebuild with circa 67000 impatient members baying for success in finals and a club wanting to push that.

Sounds like somewhere we've been, something we've seen, something we all know too well.

Plop plop plop.

Lyon is an excellent coach. No doubt. You dont get to multiple GFs by being a mug in the box.
His sides are always very disciplined and hard to play against, which is the mark of a good coach.
Massive respect for Ross.

That's why he is not in the top  two as a coach. Longmire and Clarkson have those two spots sewn up.

l'm still happy with Hardwick. There are just a few players who need sorting out. Hardwick needs to be tuff on a few & make them earn their spot. A few changes next week

Forget Bomber - overrated, over-the-hill who hates Richmond and thinks we're a joke.

Voss, Bassett, Ling or bring back Andy Collins - anyone who can get a side with JON in it to a Grand Final is surely a proven miracle worker.

As mentioned already has never built a team from scratch or dragged a middling team like us into greatness. Grant Thomas and co did the hard yards in developing the team and Lyon just implemented his negative game style. Then he didn't bring any fresh blood into the Saints and now Nick Riewoldt has to contend with kicks over his head, kicks too wide and kicks that fall 40m short week in week out.

He's extremely fortunate he has Fyfe on his team but he is doing the same thing at Freo. Pavlich, Sandlilands, McPharlin, Johnson, and Duffield are all going to retire soon and the team is going to be stuffed.

We need a Hinkley/Burgess combo which can take us into top 4. (That being said Port need their best 22 on the field to be a premiership contender)

TigerMonk, according to wiki he joined Sydney in 2004. Considering they finished 3rd in 2003, I would question the amount of input he contributed in getting the Swans to win a flag.

Out of all the coaches in the AFL ... Ross Lyon is the only one who could bring about the cultural change needed at Richmond. Richmond needs a dictator type coach. A leader. Someone who will have complete control and be in full command. Bring out the chequebook Richmond and get us a serious coach.

Rossy loves money, problem is Freo is a wealthy club too. It's not like we're pinching a coach from St Kilda or Brisbane.

Roos is the obvious choice at this point in time at the end of 2016.

Will instill defensive discipline and accountability first and foremost.

Roos wont coach again after Melbourne IMHO. He'll leave them as an up and coming side and his reputation will be enhanced. He wont risk it by coming to Richmond.

We've all paid FTF.

Brought the club up from the abject failure of 2009.
