Coach Our next coach - Training Wheels included

[GT619]

I’d really like to see Lyon coach us next season, I think he’d be a really good fit and not cost us an arm and a leg. His game plan strength seems to compliment our current weakness.

It will suits cripps style

 

[TrueQldBlue]

I really over getting a new coach etc every friggin two years. It doesn't build stability at all for all involved.
Yesterday on Perth ABC Ben Cameron was asked if Lyons would be coaching Carlton and he seemed to think so but the kicker was if Carlton want Cerra he will not play under Lyons. Food for thought.
I hated Lyons game play at Freo it was so bloody boring.

Who's this Lyons bloke?

That wasn't my point.

Moreso, don't complain that we, as a club have poor culture and or need to improve it, then rejoice and or ignore a factor that doesn't lend to possibly improving it

As a pure coach, confident that someone like Lyon would improve our output and consistency, how far he takes us, is another conversational phase

Lyon yes
Pyke No friggin way

Is it possible that Adam Simpson moves on from The Eagles? Has credit in the bank, but they'll be rebuilding now and both parties might see this as the right time for a change.

He had his contracted extended this year until 2024 but the rumblings are getting louder over here that he needs to change his game plan because it’s been worked out. Ironically there's a lot of my Eagles supporting mates calling for the club to go after Clarkson to replace him.

ageing list and unsustainable game plan which has been exposed far too often. Scouring the forums and listening to my eagles supporter mate, a lot want him moved on.

If we miss out on him because he thinks Ross is too harsh then it's probably a good thing we miss out.

Don't need any more of the types who are conditional depending on how the coach talks to them.

Those comments if attributed correctly to Cerra is a Red Flag to me.

No player gets a say on who is coach.

As Clarko so eloquently put it "Fit in or F*** off" or better still don't even come.

 

[1981]

Yep, agreed, as much as I think he is a player we need, if that is true that is a Gen Z attitude we can do without.

See ya later Cerra.

I honestly think this is PR narrative coming from Freo as a last-ditch attempt to keep Cerra. Remember this leak originated from a WA journalist. If a strained relationship hits the airwaves, it could create doubt from all parties (Cerra, Carlton & Ross).

If it’s to be believed Cerra comes off looking like a sulk, Ross sounds like he doesn’t rate Cerra, Carlton would have to be second guessing their potential desire for both parties.

Who is to benefit here? ie- who’s leaking. The answer is Freo.

Carlton & Ross need to pick up the phone to Cerra and stamp it out immediately.

That's not consistent with Ross' comments about Cerra...

Ross Lyon urges Carlton to target Adam Cerra

"I’d take Adam Cerra over them, that’s just my personal view."

www.sen.com.au

He (Cerra) was an absolute pro, him and Andy Brayshaw - if you’re talking about applying yourself, you couldn’t have asked (for more) - I think they were pick two and five.

He’s dedicated, trains hard, and he just wants to be a great player.

I would take him every day of the week because he’s a bona fide mid

Oh well, guess we are getting Cerra then ...

Ross Lyon is over the line with us mate

I actually expect an appointment in the next week or so, give him time to bring his own people in for the trade and draft period.

Is that an educated guess EJ or you have some knowledge?

Where is this coming from E_J?

Just joining the dots from A to B



He wouldn't be doing that if he hasn't made a commitment to the club and vice versa imo.

Sam McClure also running with Lyon to Blues is pretty solid Intel (not a fan of his, but he normally has good record with whispers from the club)

All speculation atm but we should find out soon enough.

Freo young gun waiting on Carlton coach call; Suns eye outgoing Blue: AFL Trade Whispers

$3m Freo star’s ultimatum to Carlton over Lyon; lifeline emerges for dumped Blue: Trade Whispers

www.foxsports.com.au

"Fremantle young gun Adam Cerra is waiting on Carlton to confirm its coaching situation before making a call on his future, as he would prefer Ross Lyon isn’t the man at the helm in 2022.
Cerra played under Lyon for 41 of his 76 games at the Dockers and is in the midst of deciding whether to return to Victoria and join Carlton or stay put.

Speaking on Fox Sports News’ AFL Tonight, foxfooty.com.au senior reporter Tom Morris explained the reason behind the 21-year-old’s indecision.
“He’s waiting on this coaching situation. He’s spoken with Carlton, but he’d prefer Ross Lyon isn’t the coach. He wasn’t a huge fan of Ross Lyon at Fremantle. Dockers people tell me Ross wasn’t a huge wrap for Cerra either,” Morris told AFL Tonight."

If true, sets off alarm bells for Cerra and Lyon, imo. Happy to pass on both.

 

[Pixelshooter]

God help us if we even entertain the thought of Adam Cerra influencing the appointment of our next coach.

 

[marcmurphy3]

I don't quite buy Cerra not going to Carlton because of Lyon. He was only a 2nd year player when Ross left. That same article suggests Lyon isn't a fan of Cerra either. Earlier this year Lyon was raving about him.

That is gigantic news. And Rossy lovers pay attention.
Not that Cerra has any right to call shots...
So Voss or Clarko?

 

[SkyhorseTamer]

Those comments are weird...

Ross spoke up how good cerra was a month or so ago and said 'if he (Ross) were at Carlton he'd try to manufacture an Sps for cerra deal with picks involved'


Yet Ross doesn't like cerra.... Someone's telling porkies somewhere in there.

Agree with bolded, but also another possibility...

Ross and Cerra didn't get on fantastically at Freo and Ross's recent comments were a peace offering to Cerra...?
