Ross' management team, ESP, has dumped him after Lyon has reportedly been negotiating with Freo by himself for the past month.
ESP and St Kilda had supposedly agreed to terms yet Ross went behind everyone's back.
This is crazy.Comment
-
Again i couldnt be happier for Lyon,rumoured 7 million for 5 years,couldnt go to a nicer bloke.Comment
-
Heard on league teams that Lyon and Harvey are both with ESP. I think in the circumstances to negotiate directly allowed it to remain confidential and allowed ESP to keep face. Very awkward.Comment

Malthouse coaching Milne...that would be an interesting conversation!Swannies for life!Comment

Huge news. I though Lyon would leave the Saints and from what I gather, Melbourne is such a toxic environment just now at the board level that no-one is keen to touch them. Didn't see Harvey going or Lyon going over there, though.
Really looking forward to the media analysis and gossip on this one!Comment

Lots of dog acts involved in this move. Freo admin knifed Harvey. Ross left the Saints and his management in the lurch... so surprised. The money is huge, but I really did think Ross loved his playing group and the Saints. He's now left them straddled between premiership window and the rebuild phase without allowing them the time to scope out a new coach. I did respect Lyon, but he's gone about this the wrong way and @@@@@@ over so many people.
I'm so glad our little club has been so stable and honourable over the last decade.Comment

If Lyon was offered a deal he didn't find acceptable, as the Hun reports, then fair enough.
Tough on Harvey, who turned Freo from a laughing stock into real contenders, but the Dockers board did the right thing. Lyon has a better coaching record.
St Kilda can get to the back of the coaching queue.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

I'm with you Al, couldnt happen to a nicer bunch IMHO.
Yep, whether you agree or disagree with the succession plan Roosy put into place, it's so good to not have our team and club dragged through the mud the way of sooooo many other teams this season.Comment
-
I do wonder whether Freo have decided their injury woes have an element of mismanagement at the top, Harvey pushing players too hard. They certainly played underdone players a few times mid-season.Comment
-
Except that earlier this week it was confirmed he would at least see out the remaining year of his contract. He must have known then that he was close to agreeing terms with Freo.
I confess that I don't really see the attraction of Lyon. Yes, he coached the Saints to two GFs but he had a list that contained a good smattering of brilliant players, none of which he had much to do with developing as youngsters. Harvey seemed to be turning Freo around from a head case team to a real contender once the likes of Hill, Fyfe and Morabito get another year or two under their belts. I would much prefer to have Harvey coaching the Swans than Lyon, if they were the two available options.Comment

Lyon had a great list to work with, but he did have the handicap of the Saints culture. A whisker of two premierships before the team imploded was a great effort.
Now I realise how he contrived to get the Dockers job, deceiving not only the Saints but his management team as well, I don't think he's done himself any favours.The man who laughs has not yet heard the terrible newsComment

Gerard Whateley isn't pulling any punches today:
Lyon leaves a villain
Sample quote: "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."Comment

- RWO Forum Rules (PLEASE READ FIRST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Your posts may be deleted, without warning or notification at moderator discretion, for breach of any of the RWO rules set out below. If you have any questions or concerns about post/thread removal, please feel free to PM a moderator or Email us at [email protected]
Do not post your queries on the main boards. Such posts WILL be removed, without further explanation.
Constant breaches of the rules will result in your access to RWO being reduced as the Moderator / Administrator group see fit. RWO uses the vBulletin Infraction System to deal with breaches of the RWO rules. All Infractions have an expiry date. Such an expiry date may be as short as 10 days or as long as 6 months. Multiple infractions, depending on the number of points a member accumulates, WILL result in temporary bans from the site and CAN result in a permanent ban. Please note that some Infractions have an expiry date of "Never" and WILL result in the RWO member being banned from the site immediately.
1) Signatures / Avatars
Keep signatures under 4 lines of standard sized fonts (if you must use large fonts, use just one line) as a courtesy to all users who read the forums.
Do not use signatures / avatars as an opportunity to make jibes at other forum members. This will be considered to be sniping (refer Rule 6 below). You may not refer to another RWO forum member, or quote anything they have written, without permission from that member. Using an anonymous tag does not make it acceptable. If quotes are not removed, we reserve the right to remove them, without notification. If in doubt as to whether something is acceptable or not, don't use it!
2) Spamming
Advertising for personal commercial purposes is NOT permitted. Placing links to sites that other users may find of interest / personal websites is acceptable within reason (ie constantly posting links will be frowned upon).
3) Deliberately avoiding the RWO swear filter
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. A swear filter is in place to mask offensive words and phrases. This swear filter contains offensive words and variant spellings of offensive words to stop you from deliberately avoiding the swear filter. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter through alternate spelling of offensive words. Do not attempt to avoid the swear filter by devising systems to fool the swear filter in its recognition of offensive words.
4) Inappropriate Language / Excessive swearing
RWO is a site that is accessible by Swans supporters of all ages and walks of life. Moderators will let some minor cases through. Anything deemed to be of poor taste or of an offensive nature may be removed at moderator discretion. Consider all members when posting; what you think is funny, not all members will feel the same way.
5) Trolling / Baiting
Deliberately posting on threads in an attempt to stir / bait other RWO users will not be tolerated.
6) Flaming / Sniping / Abuse / Insulting other members
If you have to have a go at someone personally, take it off the boards. Everyone else doesn't need to see your hissy fits. Remember, "Play the ball, not the man". This includes spouses or partners. If you don''t like a post, don't flame, snipe, abuse or insult in response - it makes the job of moderation much harder. Report the post through the forum reporting mechanism (click on the Triangle with the exclamation mark) and let the Moderator / Administrator group deal with it.
7) Legal issuesa) The Moderator / Administrator group will keep a very close eye on threads discussing rumours or anything that could be potentially libellous. Moderators and Administrators are not interested in the chance of legal action regardless of how small - if deemed that there is ANY threat to RWO potentially, we will come down hard on it.
b) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and the potential legal implications, posting of complete articles is NOT permitted. If necessary, post a link to the article. Where appropriate, you may quote sections of the article to aid in discussion.
c) Due to potential issues of copyright infringement and potential legal implications, posting of links to "live streaming (of AFL games)" and "AFL content" sites that are not AFL endorsed is NOT permitted. Posts with such links will be removed immediately and infraction points will be issued.
d) Freedom of speech does NOT = freedom to slander
8) Racial / Sexual Discrimination / Villification
It is not acceptable for members to engage in racial and/or sexual discrimination / villification. It is not acceptable for members to use terminology in describing race or gender in a derogatory manner. Discussing and disputing the views and opinions of other posters is acceptable. Personally vilifying or abusing others for having certain characteristics, or being a member of a certain group (or because you think they're a member of a certain group), is not. This rule shall apply to any post attacking race, skin colour, ethnic background, gender and sexuality.
