I think that you are making assumptions that might not be true. Carltons current vice president Patty Kinnersley (who heads up our Carlton respects program) was rumoured to have concerns about Ross Lyon and the allegations raised against him by a female employeee at the Dockers.It's common - but it's not designed so you can learn what a coaches philosophy and expectations are if you already know them!!
Put it this way, if Lyon had have agreed to a 'process' at Carlton, he was guaranteed the job. The people at Carlton that had already conditionally offered him the role weren't going to learn anything that they didn't already know about him or his style.
I’m not saying it’s an option just would you if it was on the table?Why on earth would we do that.
Have you seen our midfield.
Also Max just did his knee and will miss the rest of the season. The whole media narrative about us trading him lasted less than 24 hours.

There are byes anyway.Disaster is an over reaction clearly. But having such an unbalance week to week will throw even more unevenness into the comp. When the sport has so many complications this is just an extra one most dont need
He looked like he couldn't run on Saturday to me. He literally fell over a few times.Did he do his PCL playing in the ruck? It's the typical injury ruckmen have suffered. I hope in the quest to try to help him find form, the team hasn't increased his risk of this injury. North does the same playing Larkey as a relief ruckman - I hate it when this happens.
I’m not saying it’s an option just would you if it was on the table?
Well I mean yeah adding byes every week instead of 6/24 (or what ever the number is) would be more unbalanced. Its probably not a huge difference but its clearly not ideal. The comp should be looking at ways of reducing the inequities when ever they can not adding more randomness - so yeah if you want to add a team we should look to even the numbers sooner than laterThere are byes anyway.
And surely it couldn't get any more unbalanced than it has been for the last 30 years?
Any particular reason why you are suggesting such a trade?I’m not saying it’s an option just would you if it was on the table?
You don't think that the people that offered him the role knew him?Geez, ya reckon?
Hadn't coached for 10 years, different people running the club since he was there last, different playing group.
An interview process definitely wouldn't have been a crystal ball, but would've 100% provided insight as to whether he's the right personality & coaching style for the club & current playing group.
It certainly wouldn't have hurt.
But the comp is about growing and making money - it's not about making the comp balanced. It hasn't been decades.Well I mean yeah adding byes every week instead of 6/24 (or what ever the number is) would be more unbalanced. Its probably not a huge difference but its clearly not ideal.

?Ross needs to go. Saints can't even hit a target with a handball. Skills are deplorable
But what does that have to with him having to go through a formal process?I think that you are making assumptions that might not be true. Carltons current vice president Patty Kinnersley (who heads up our Carlton respects program) was rumoured to have concerns about Ross Lyon and the allegations raised against him by a female employeee at the Dockers.
Ross went from being very keen on Footy Classified one week to having no interest in undertaking an interview and withdrawing from the position the next week. Ross would like you to believe that it was because he was a proven senior coach who shouldn't have to do interviews.
Me, I'm not quite sure about that. One thing that I'm sure of is that we absolutely dodged a bullet there.
?
The coach has to go because the players are no good?
Not sure I'm following...
Saints just need to splash cash/trade picks and get 2 genuinely good mids in and we'll improve drastically.
Our mids are genuine dirt. Not only do we lack speed but we lack polish and talent. It's criminal how bad we let it get. No offence to guys like Seb Ross, but he's been paid a fortune over the years and finished top 5 in our best and fairest consistently and somehow he still doesn't know how to kick on his right foot and his left foot is 50% at best.
Just criminal
You don't think that the people that offered him the role knew him?
You think they just plucked his name off an old footy card and sent him a job offer via his PA?
Or just saw him on Footy Classified and emailed through an offer?
Serious question, why are there so many Blues fans in the thread? There seem to be more Blues fans here than Saints fans bagging out Saints.No elite talent is moving to the Saints.
Managers wouldn’t even take the call …
Club was wrong about the list.Didn't Ratten get the sack because the club thought he was underperforming with their list?
Now Ross is saying the list isn't good enough & need a rebuild and the club is now in agreeance?
It's weird.
To be fair, I don't watch them that closely - but my observations over the past few years is that they have no good players and their skills suck bad.The coaching staff including Ross has been there awhile and their skills have dropped off.
Players going backwards.
Whose fault is it if it isn't Ross and co? I don't follow
I don't know why you're telling me this?I didn’t say any of that, nice attempt at a strawman, though.
A formal extensive interview process in a professional environment wouldn’t have hurt, I’m not sure how one could argue otherwise tbh.
Serious question, why are there so many Blues fans in the thread? There seem to be more Blues fans here than Saints fans bagging out Saints.
Maybe just try enjoying your own long coming period of success, why the need to constantly rag on a smaller club?
I see you have moved on from the Hawthorn thread onto the St Kilda oneSt.Kilda’s in the AFL mate.
It’s all a part of the game.
No discounts from opposition supporters for being shithouse …
