Going by this rationale, Lyon isn’t the best option, he’s the last option. Yay!
That's assuming people are bowing out in order of our preference of them.

That's not how things work in the real world

If barass is really gone, Forty3 imo is the new sheriff in town.

great strike rate
Don't tell me people have driven out b70 again.

He could still turn out correct. Also possible sometimes he does post opinions, like the rest of us humans.
 
Isn’t that what was said about Dow at the end of last year?
Yes, but clearly his disposal became significantly better. Most very clean i50s.

He also became less shit at all of his deficiencies. Not great, but clearly improved.

I'm not convinced he needs to get a lot larger.

Almost all of his issues will resolve if he goes and gets excellent to elite fitness. There is no way he should be having more than 2 weeks off (unless there is an injury- which i doubt).

He just needs to be grinding endurance and high intensity training all summer.

Lots of shorter slower fatter players have managed to get themselves to very high level fitness if they're committed.

Defensive running will improve. Accumulation will improve. Kicking will improve with less fatigue.

There's definitely something to work with and this is his watershed moment.

Selling him for cents on the dollar is ludicrous.

He still has a chance to be the player we hoped but I would be essentially giving him an ultimatum year. He must average 24+ possessions and improve his defensive spread or he is gone.

A mate of mine has heard Pav tell the following story re: RtB

First pre-season at Freo and the entire playing group had met for a "culture day" designed to establish the club's standards, direction etc.

A bunch of players were taking it in turns getting up there and saying their piece on what the club's "statement" should be. Apparently RtB was sitting at the back looking more and more agitated as the players spoke, and after about an hour he just stood up, walked over to the whiteboard and wrote:

1. No weak campaigners.
2. No selfish campaigners.

He then dismissed the room and walked out and they never had another "culture" session again.

players don’t care who the president is.

I'd suggest they probably would if he was the one "reading the riot act" to them.

BTW I'm really surprised that people applaud this if it happened. You don't heal wounds by acting in a threatening manner in my experience. The hard talk can come anytime, it's just not the way you start the game nowadays.

Good post but for the ultimatum. Extra pressure like that is not backing him in. We sign him as a show of support and back him the **** in. Forcing him to deliver under threat of delisting is like growing a plant by pulling on it. It doesn't work and ends up killing it.

He needs to do a forest gump start running now and not stop till he ends his career
Jokes aside he should have a good base to really go hard get his own running coach
Come back and blow the competition away take a leaf out of McKays book
