Lyons teams dont kick enough goals..You cant win a premiership by strangling a game
except for the swans ten years ago.

We've done Dimma to death, let's do Lyon - he's won 9 of 20 finals and 1 final from his last 5.
Yeah, let's see him get us from 7th to 4th  :clapping

But he's a big fish in the coaching pond........ without a premiership.

Yet he's come within a combined total of fourteen points of winning two flags...denied by a flukey toe poke, a blatant poster that was called as a goal before we had goal reviews and an errant bounce in the goal square.....both against sides that were red hot favourites...

Hardwick is here for 2016. No point talking about coaching change now. I'm going to back him for now. If he fails (no finals success) he is out I would have thought.

There is no point getting the lynch mob out now. It will be futile. Save your energy for 2016 as it may be required. :whistle

This is always the argument brought up in regard to Ross Lyon and his coaching and it has some validity. However, at the end of the day, they have coached the same amount of premierships.

...as opposed to Hardwick's awesome finals record....losing to a side that finished 9th and was only there by default after blowing a 5 goal lead.....losing by 10 goals after being smashed out the match by quarter time ....giving up a 21 point lead twice before losing by 3 goals to the side that finished 8th....

Yep.....why the hell would we want Lyon instead?

My comment was that the swans won a flag ten years ago by strangling teams, wasn't really referring to Ross Lyon and the players he would at his disposal at richmond.

Still a valid point, though. But one we won't ever know the answer to.

yes the swans did win 1 premiership by strangling the other sides.

paul roos an ross lyon are masters at this gameplan.

how many have they won compared to lost?

I think it was 14 of the last 15 years, the team that has kicked the highest points for the year played off in the grand final.

Did brisbane, geelong and now whorthorn win their three premierships in a row by playing ugly negative football?
