If Melbourne win the flag this year we will have the 2nd longest premiership drought. Only behind St Kilda.

Go <<Winner of Geel vs GWS>>!!!

Hey Rosscoe, where'd that Dunstan rumour come from? I can see you've since removed it, which is curious.

I'd personally rather we play Matty Kennedy and run a fit Martin, Williams and Philp, Kemp, Dow through there with Crippa hopefully being the big dog again in 2022.

Dunstan might prefer a change of scenery and under someone like Ross might get a decent go if the form is there.

As a low cost, low risk option - I don't mind. Maybe a DFA or for a late pick.

I got it from the Gold Coast suns rumour page. I agree; our midfielders are still developing which is why I’m not so keen on big money recruits like Cerra but if we don’t bust the bank or our trade capital, I think these sorts of players could plug some gaps.

 

[Elmer_Hauser]

Why the big wrap for Adem Yze? not having a crack, just interested to know why you think Adem would be a good appointment?

Spend several years under Clarko at the Hawks, was a front runner for the Crows job before they went with Nicks, and think he hae played a massive part in the resurgent Dees since joining Melbourne as an assitant at the end of last season.


Doesn't seem we will go down the rookie/untried coach again, but if we did, Yze would be my pick.

 

[I bleed Blue]

Or you could argue Fremantle and St. Kilda.

Who did Lyon coach again?

Yep Freo will be equal 2nd with us.

looking likely as FA

Interesting that Hopper still hasn’t signed and neither has Parker. Hopefully we are pushing to get both as they are better options than Cerra - albeit Parker much older. I’d be happy with Cerra but Hopper is tracking to be better and Parker may only have 3-4 years left but he will bring leadership and toughness.

I think both will stay, just leveraging a better deal.
but would be poor practice if we do not ask the question.

I know it's Tom Morris, but still....

Also we literally have nothing to trade for Hopper even if he was leaving assuming that our first round pick is most likely going to be used on the Adam Cerra trade, whom Morris said in the live blog that he will end up at Carlton (other Carlton journos with Intel like McClure and Edmund have stated as much, re pick 6 for Cerra)

Not saying any of this is gospel or a done deal btw, but I never felt Hopper was a serious chance of leaving GWS anyway, he seems happy up there.

The Luke Parker situation is very intriguing, seems like The Swans are having a massive salary cap squeeze, we are a good chance to get George Hewett, but Parker is a bona fide champ of the Bloods , honestly staggered they are contemplating letting him go.

I'd rather Hopper than Cerra

 

[Blue Runnings]

I respectively disagree with these points.
Our club is currently a shambles. Lyon would not be a unifying force. He has shown an ability to take a some what matured team to the upper bracket of the competition on multiple occasion, but has never built a club culture that will continue after he leaves. Unfortunately for Carlton, we need someone who wants to build a club! Not a team. This has been our problem for the last 25 years.

Although it feels like all roads lead to Lyon at this point, I haven’t given up hope of the club taking a more holistic view.

100% agree with this. Lyon is not the man for this club. We need to look long term. The pies just made a bold decision, I wish we would do likewise.

Unfortunately, I still strongly believe Lyon is a done deal and “the process” is just words by the club.

Would have thought Cook would be in charge of new markets (territories).

(Sorry)

New midfield coach will be the goat herder.
Walsh is the GOAT.

We can trade Cerra for Hopper!

[Blue and Silver]

If the process is real, then it would be nice if experienced didn't limit us to former head coaches of AFL teams.

Just feel like we're tying our hands, or narrow focusing into Lyon/Clarkson

And if this was 20 years ago, Fremantle would have literally traded Adam Cerra for a 9th round pick.

 

[Max Pepsi]

100% agree with this. Lyon is not the man for this club. We need to look long term. The pies just made a bold decision, I wish we would do likewise.

Unfortunately, I still strongly believe Lyon is a done deal and “the process” is just words by the club.

What about if the review found that due to the half-arsed approach from a lot of the players, a first-time coach would not be recommended for the list as it stands?

People go on about getting rid of board members but a lot of the players have been there longer than all but 2 of them & have been involved in 2 coach sackings as well.

What happens if we get a first-timer & miss the 8 for the next 2 years?

Got in before I could post the same thing. If Cook comes on board, then we can not afford to be scared, to hire the best candidate, rather than the best of a very small bunch.

Cook has hired two coaches in 23 years, both untried.

Being linked with Cook, Clarkson/Lyon, Hartley is good and all, but a little concerning, would love the next Clarkson and Cook type people.

 

[DangerousD]

We made bold decisions in Teague and Bolton.

Like going to the draft, you might stuff up the picks, but the process was the right one.

Learn from our mistakes.

 

[zeggie]

Or you could argue Fremantle and St. Kilda.

Who did Lyon coach again?

...and Gold Coast and GWS.
