Mega Thread Official Thread: Melbourne Coach 2012

[00Stinger]

Thank God that we did not get Ross Lyon. To bring a club into disrepute. Saints Football has been unbearable to watch - and that is the last thing we need as a club ( yeah, I know, 186 is worse)

Biff as a Melbourne supporter for 30 years I would be more than willing to watch crap football if we win more than we lose. We have played attacking footy since Daniher took over and how has that treated us?

FWIW I think Matthews is the man we will get. If we get him or Malthouse I think we are on the right track, but I could be wrong.

That and a caller a few weeks back on SEN116 claimed to be a hotel worker who served Malthouse, Jim Stynes and Cameron Schwab dinner at his work a few weeks back got me thinking even more.

I agree that 'saints footy' is the most boring, vomit inducing, uninspired rubbish ever. Having said this, I don't care anymore. I just want to win and nothing else matters. Beats nice corridor footy that doesn't get us anywhere. I think we've lost out. Today proves it's a very sneaky landscape, malthouse is not out of the picture.

by all accounts Mick and Roos are still gunning for the job at Carlton if you believe the nuff nuffs
With it confirmed Malthouse is not going to be director of coaching and the talk of a media deal you must conclude he will coach someplace. Heart may want him at the dogs but winner in him might govern his decison to chase a flag with Melb Stk Carlton

The whole coaching landscape has changed with Lyon leaving the Saints. Imo it brings Malthouse right back into the equation. How many jobs are going to be up for grabs next year if Malthouse takes his intended year off ? Malthouse has already acknowledged that if he wants to coach again he can't be out of the game long.

Clubs off the table next year: Saints, Dees, Freo, Adelaide, Pies, Dogs, Cats, Suns, GWS, Essendon, Hawks, West Coast, Swans, North, and the Lions.

Others unlikely would be Tigers and Blues. And would Malthouse want to coach Port.

For me Malthouse has to make a play for one of the clubs looking for a coach this year, or he runs the real risk of not having an opportunity next year.

Interesting times.

Excellent post.

As much as I admire Ro$$'s coaching record, grand final appearances, et cetera, I thank the (no-seeing) footy gods we didn't sign him up for a generation.

Saints footy has got to be one of the most boring styles to watch in the modern era. Only after a horror start to the season did they let loose and put trust in their players to back themselves with a more attacking brand only to convert to the old style once they hit the lead and had enough wins on the board. Riewoldt's career has essentially been stunted in recent years because of this style, there's been hardly any youth development whilst sniffing at a flag and though I agree we need to improve defensively, I would hate to see this come at a cost for choking up the natural intuitive attacking styles of Jurrah, Bennell, Howe, Davey and co which worringly appeared in to the more recent Bailey era.

With three other clubs needing a coach, Garry and the Board need to chuck absolutely everything at Mick and his management to get him to Melbourne even if it means offering a one year fill in with Todd should he want his gap year. He has the answer to just about everything we need right now- smart strength-finding tactics, complete trust in players (and vice versa), huge marketability and the obvious ... a track record in taking a group from the bottom to the very top. Something 99% of our club has not experienced (Todd Viney and National Panasonic Pre Season Cups notwithstanding).

What the %%^&^ has Garry Lyon been doing if he hadn't even spoke to Ross Lyon. Him telling Ross Lyon's manager that he'd like to have a chat if negotiations with St Kilda break down is bloody typical of the Demons. We needed to be on the front foot from the start and if its true that we have only had an "initial chat" with a few coaches then I reckon Garry Lyon should stand down and we should get someone in there who will actually do something! $$%% me what a JOKE!

 

[CM Sean]

But if he already has Malthouse lined up, why go chasing Ross Lyon? I have a feeling he as a few tricks up his sleeve. Give it time.

Geez, relax. As a melbourne supporter, you coudn't have been happier with the way Garry spoke last night.

Ross Lyon "was" still contracted to st Kilda for another year. Going to management is usually the first step. I doubt we predicted that Ross had taken it upon himself to organise his own multi million deal with the purple club on the other side of the country.

In rudyard kipling style, I quite like the dees taking a seemingly professional approach, "no frontrunner", and interviewing the best candidates. Everyone else seems to be running around with their head cut off.

I'll take comfort from Garry's supreme confidence and it appears Mellbourne weren't that interested in Ross anyway. He did inherite a senior list, capable of playing finals.

Make less assumptions.
