This sounds like a win/win for us!stui magpie wrote:Pure marketing. Lyon got them to Grand Finals, they've done far call since he left. The prodigal messiah returns.
They can't afford to do Harvey, untried coach who learned off Bucks. Supporters would storm the club when they start off like sh1t.
I just don’t get how Nathan Buckley’s coaching record is trashed by Collingwood supporters, yet Ross Lyon, who never achieved more than Nathan Buckley did as a coach, gets accolades as a coach from the St Kilda supporters. Also Nathan resigned gracefully as Collingwood coach when told his time was up and has never had a bad word to say about the Collingwood Football Club, whereas Ross jumped to Fremantle for more money when he still had 12 months on his contract with St Kilda.Jezza wrote:Not that I particularly care, but I do find it staggering that Lyon is rated as highly as he is.
He hasn't been relevant since 2015, but somehow his coaching reputation is still through the roof despite being out of the game for three years now.
Not all Collingwood supporters are critical of Buckley nor all St Kilda supporters love Lyon.MatthewBoydFanClub wrote:I just don’t get how Nathan Buckley’s coaching record is trashed by Collingwood supporters, yet Ross Lyon, who never achieved more than Nathan Buckley did as a coach, gets accolades as a coach from the St Kilda supporters.

Which coach in the last 25 years has got 2 different clubs/teams into a Grand Final & been a toe poke & ball bouncing wrong way from being a 2 time premiership coach? If there is, is he a hack?MatthewBoydFanClub wrote:I just don’t get how Nathan Buckley’s coaching record is trashed by Collingwood supporters, yet Ross Lyon, who never achieved more than Nathan Buckley did as a coach, gets accolades as a coach from the St Kilda supporters.

I have some sympathy for Lyon and his move to Freo. It is not widely know that he suffered some large financial losses in the Global Financial Crisis and the contract with Freo was obviously a lot bigger than what the saints were offering. He had a wife and three young kids to consider. They come first.MatthewBoydFanClub wrote:I just don’t get how Nathan Buckley’s coaching record is trashed by Collingwood supporters, yet Ross Lyon, who never achieved more than Nathan Buckley did as a coach, gets accolades as a coach from the St Kilda supporters.

It's also been disclosed by him that, at the time, the one year contract with the Saints was trigger related and they were stuffing him around, not actually putting the offer on the table, he got frustrated and negotiated a deal with Freo without his managers involvement and by the time st Kilda actually put the contract on the table he had agreed to terms with Freo.Pebbles Rocks wrote:I have some sympathy for Lyon and his move to Freo.
