There's something unsavoury about Ross Lyon in my opinion. Can't quite put my finger on it. I feel like Voss will be a more transparent person. Whether he is as effective remains to be seen.
Yes, this is what concerns me. To Port fans he's always been seen the same way we saw Barker. Rated by many outside the club but every line he coaches seems to be a disorganised mess.
Ahh well... he's coach now. Hopefully he becomes a premiership one and my concerns turn out to be garbage.
Give the negativity a spell, the club has actually probably for the 1st time be through a process with Cook/Williams etc all ticking off on the decision.
I am certain with the experience he has he will do well, none of the other candidates Clarkson were available so we need to pick best available which is what they have decided.
Did I say to let Voss choose him? I said he's got a strong relationship with Voss and is highly regarded - long term deal on the table at Geelong apparently.
Scarlett is one of the best defenders of the last 20 years so would be an improvement on our backs coach, too. Not to mention - like Lappin - he knows success. Getting as much 'success culture' into the club will only make us better (presumably they are the right fit for our club/group).

fair to say you have zero knowledge of whether he will succeed or not, happy to agree? you have no idea what he has learned the past decade, what his plans are now that he can implement them, how he will bond with the players, the game plans and contingencies he will put in place - your best effort is citing a swampy supporter with spelling issues........might want to pull back on the white-anting at least until the first autopsy thread in march........
The one all about “the contest “
Didn't stop us chasing Clarkson desperately like a deprived schoolboy and Sayers thought Lyon was an excellent idea. He was overruled by the board.
Didn't stop us approaching Scott, Pyke, Buckley, even Fagan ... before Voss was on the scene. Our coaching selection panel was such a farce that involved the membership of a CEO who was on the way out.
We couldn't have wished for a better opportunity and we've picked the fish John West rejected when Teague was appointed.
I have no problem with Voss btw - just the suggested in some way this was how Sayers and the board planned it. In the end, it was the only palatable option to save some face after his proclamation that we would get an experienced coach.

Boak moved back into the midfield during pre season where Ollie hurt his shoulder. His own words. Completely discredits that port fans assertions.
Voss should be choosing his assistants was the point. Not having the club appoint them for him.
Scarlett aint coming.
That's not an unreasonable question, but one we could ask of just about anyone else we might've appointed today, too.
We might have some idea of what Lyon might've brought to the table tactically (but the game has changed a little since he last coached - I reckon that will have served as a loose guide only), and even with Clarkson there's no definitive way to answer this question, as what worked with one group may not work with ours - I'd expect he will have adapted to fit, to a certain extent. Kingsley is a lauded tactician, but in his case, I'm not sure the answer to this question would've been any clearer, either.
For now, I reckon we just need to trust that those in a position to know and influence, have well and truly broached this topic, and have as many answers as one can have at this stage. The rest of us will find out next year.

Breaking news: Selection panel consults lots of coaches on various things, media tries to interpret without knowing full story.

Consistent theme?
Clarko - doesn't want to coach at all in 2022.
Lyon - think he should get the job on the strength of his name, despite never winning a flag.
Scott - not coaching ever again, by the looks of it, fully transitioned into admin.
Pyke - doesn't want to live in VIC, doesn't want to be a senior coach.
Buckley - no idea where you pulled that from, got sacked at Collingwood and has seemingly gone to ground entirely.
May as well be disappointed that we didn't get Goodwin or Bevo, the reality is that these "experienced coaches on the market" were not "on the market". With the exception of Lyon, who at face value either couldn't be ****ed even trying to get the job, or pulled out to save face because we didn't want him.
Interesting reference regarding Teague. Be interested in your description on how Voss has found himself in the role.

You can't kick goals when you're unconscious.
When we the last time we actually followed a clear process to selecting a senior coach anyone?
Certainly wasn't Ratts, MM, Bolts nor Teague.

Nothing wrong with asking the question.
Yeah because people whose job it is to talk directly to those within clubs know less than anonymous posters on fan footy forum. Makes sense.
How does it discredit it?
He was right, they took Boak out and only put him back in again when injury meant they were forced too.

Ummm
Irony?
Who's pretending to know more than the club and the pro's again?
Sayers said all candidates had an emphasis on offence and defence.
Didn't say there was.
Pretending am I?
