Once again Lyons got off lightly in this article and the comments. So interesting.

St Kilda in peril yet again - but are their problems due to Lyon's coaching or the quality of the cattle?

Higgins learns fate for dangerous tackle after Saints' '10 reasons why' defence in marathon Tribunal hearing

Spot on Gilberto often it us down to luck whether a player in concussed even though the cause is avoidable. Need to get rid of outcome

The big mistake the AFL keeps making in its attitude towards high contact

That’s mean : )

Forget Cripps, Curnow and Walsh - the unsung Blues heroes driving Carlton's premiership push

So of his stuff is pure footy. Months ago I was showing my wife his one handed pick up in traffic then change direction back towards goals past the opposition to score

Footy Fix: Ross Lyon is the AFL's most boring coach once again - and it's suffocating the Saints' season

Yes had 4 weeks off wasnt it? subsequently you can actually hit someone in the face or jump into someone for less. Great user name BTW : )

Power injury toll revealed as worst possible news confirmed for forward

I know you’re a fan of his Don so I know wont change your mind. Lyon can do the player analytical thing well but the game itself has changed. Similarly Fagan looks lost too. My team’s coach Hinkley should have a winning prelim as his pass mark last year ( to answer the Lyon question ~ 2019 & it isn’t that long ago ). It is just my theory and I am happy to hear a reason why they dont attack and score more. Does Clive Waterhouse or Pavlich have kids? : ) I know you watch other teams too but sometimes Freo is just so hard to watch and I am no fan of WC either. Not sure Longmuir is a long term answer there. I love your Freo loyalty but I know that doesn’t matter to you either

over rated not over performed ( there fixtured it ). Bit like CFC = SFA

Lyon moans like I think. Bit like the Australian Cricket Team the AFL Coaching circuit.

Have seen Fagan talking to media recently and gee he feels a bit off the pace. Like my uncle or something (and I’m 62) has walked in to mind the front counter. Lots going on there of course but his not without his own question marks.

AFL News: North OF Melbourne? McGuire's bold idea to rejuvenate Roos, Scott slams sub rule after Anzac Day drama

This isn’t news to anyone Tim : ). Fremantle are still suffering. The golden generation was frittered away at his last stint there at Morrabin. I haven’t matched up his time as assistant at the Swans with their relative success but it’s a ridiculous ground to play Australian Rules and the easiest to defend

Cheers Scyphus! Even talking about them shows you get it. Ottens was much underrated. I asked months ago what changed for Gawn as I remember him being bossed and pushed around. The aggregation of his improvement has made him a top tier player and the lessons would worthwhile to other young players

The Roar's AFL expert tips and predictions, Anzac Round: Who takes the biscuits on the season's longest weekend?

Anyone who as ever played (ie any of us included) would say yes at least for the former game Aussie Rules. Detractors of ruck value include Grant Thomas, Gary Lyon and (secretly) Ken Hinkley. So Scyphus that’s not the sort of company you want to Port had a ruckman so good (Primus) that the AFL changed the rules

I can only watch these new slapping competitions on youtube for only a little while. Even our rudimentary knowledge of CTE should prohibit any head high contact. Who hasnt seen a relatively innocous contacts impact to a player who has previous trauma. Didnt Buddy get suspended for doing this to Cotchin who initiated it all by holds blocking etc for arguably a lighter hit? Again the outcome again by the AFL MRO. Stoopid

'Murky decision-making, novice administration and unaccountable governance' - how the AFL has fallen

I hope you are joking. New clubs to the AFL paid big licence fees. Except the Frankenstein creations such as GWS who are on the umbilical and teat. Port put all onto their AFL entry. You used the term business in your earlier post this morning

From his Richmond tenure he’s not as familiar as you supposed with player suspensions

No Naughty your team isn’t as they are one of the original teams in the VFL. But others around the country are as they have paid their way in. From the ACCC website “A franchisee bears the financial risk for their franchised business and pays money to the franchisor. In exchange for this money, the franchisor allows the franchisee to use the franchisor’s brand or system to sell products or services for a limited time”

Hilariously they are trying to address homophobia too. Chair Goyder “its our stance” (not our actions) . AFL integrity Unit may be our best sporting oxymoron

'Murky decision-making, novice administration and unaccountable governance' - how the AFL has fallen

A premiership is a combination of everything. A good excellent read about cumulative improvement or aggregation is Atomic Habits

'Murky decision-making, novice administration and unaccountable governance' - how the AFL has fallen

My mistake then. I note wryly that you have counted the MCG as away. That will amuse my friends in the other states. Should have got my facts rights tho’

I work in the Suicide Prevention sector Opps. Responsible for lots of loss of life here in Australia. Again its all about the income as opposed to what’s good for the community and the supporters.
