Who won that little fight. Scoops, Scoops, where for art thou?
That’s the point I was making mate.The club sends a "we are doing a press conference at xx.xx" email to the media.
Geelong have always done similar by keeping quality Geelong people at the club. They have Kelly, Egan and Ottens in their coaching ranks and have had Scarlett, Enright etc in the past.It is understood that the appointment of Lyon could result in other key figures from his first stint returning to the club, including dual All-Australian Brendon Goddard, Brownlow Medal winner Robert Harvey and fitness boss David Misson.
Here is the job for the boys gif was referring by too.

I’d imagine it’s because he wants people he can trust to deliver a minimum level for him.'Jobs for the boys' hope its not like that.
They got really lucky that Curnow got on the piss & decided to drive home.I actually looked up the 2015 deal that bought in a huge amount of GWS players.
Carlton traded Lauchie Henderson for Geelong's future first then added 28, 77, 95
Traded all that for pick 8, Lamb, Phillips, Plowman, Sumner.
Traded Tom Bell to Brisbane for 21.
Traded pick 21 and 22 to the Dogs for 11.
Ended up with Harry McKay and Curnow, Cunningham and Silvagni.
At the time it got plenty of laughs but right now that looks like an elite year.

Not so sure about bringing Goddard back though. No doubt he would demand a lot from the boys but he's an extremely negative person. Not sure he has the balance to become a coach.
- When Ratts got re-signed. - meh. I saw the reasoning. Was happy at 8-3 at 8-6 and the mental weakness of the team exposed, I was a bit more concerned.
- When Ratts got re-signed. - pretty flat, as I had been since about July. I had dropped off going to the football, and was getting disinterested, the non trade period capped it off. I downgraded my membership for various reason just not a fit of pique.
- The moment Ross Lyon is named coach, I am on the phone to membership to upgrade as the club has done exactly what I wanted, a radical change to give some hope, just not drift around mid table as they have for the past ten years.
It's not every year though.The only one who is safe is Lenny Hayes? Why is Lenny Safe? Are they guessing its due to his relationship with Lyon?
Corey Enright. Started 2022. Would be disappointing if he left, he seemed to be doing good work in our defence.
Jarryd Roughead. A fairly low level assistant. I can see how the media like to throw his name around, but it makes little difference if he stays or goes in my view.
Ben Jacobs. A Rookie coach starting his first coaching role at the beginning of 2022. An assistant for Batch and Carroll. Would be unlucky for him, and of no real consequence to the Saints unless he is totally inept or disruptive.
Damian Carroll: Has an important role, but he also only started in 2022. Its very hard to judge whether he's been doing a bad job in development.
We've seen new players come in and perform strongly. We've seen older , developing players seem to go backwards.
Nick Walsh is also new at the club for 2022, and seemed to be well credentialed.
If we start sacking and re-appointing the football department every year only a lunatic would want to come and work for the Saints.
Think you might be onto something there mateWhy is Lenny Safe? Are they guessing its due to his relationship with Lyon?
Goddard - meh. Dunno what he brings TBH.'Jobs for the boys' hope its not like that.
No idea either. Bizarre if we bring him on.Goddard - meh. Dunno what he brings TBH.
I’m confident in a few names from above getting confirmed such as Mission.It's not every year though.
A new head coach is starting. Usually they have a very big say in who will be working under them.
They are people he trusts.It's probably nitpicking but the only thing I'll say about the rumoured new appointments is that are we too infatuated with filling the club full of ex St.Kilda people? Or are we just genuinely picking the best candidates from the bunch?
Lenny, Misson and Banger all very good resumes. Goddard is the question mark. Would be very disappointed if we let Enright go for him. Could easily be a very good coach though, was essentially an on field coach for Essendon towards the end.It's probably nitpicking but the only thing I'll say about the rumoured new appointments is that are we too infatuated with filling the club full of ex St.Kilda people?

I'm just worried our heart is clouding judgement. I can see how Harves gets a gig but Silvagni and Goddard I don't understand at all. In any event the one thing they've all got in common is that they're all ex-Saints.They are people he trusts.
So I understand the POV.
But I think it’s wrong to a degree.

Needs to actually do an apprenticeship first I would've thought. I'd absolutely hate losing Enright. And especially hate if we lost him for Goddard.Lenny, Misson and Banger all very good resumes.
