He wouldn't even get a "honeymoon weekend" before the boots went in.
No chance he would be an acceptable alternative to the masses.
Unless of course he won a flag in his first year.
Any coach who gets us out of the bottom 4 will be a genius in the eyes of many supporters.
There is an old saying " a drowning man will cling onto a serpent"...think that applies to Lyon.

On Setterfield, when you consider how much footy he's missed, and how difficult it must be to look half decent in our team, I think he's tracking ok. Watching on the telly I've seen him do some good things.
Certainly a pass IMO.

who cares about 100 points EB, i'll be happy with 50 if the other guys only score 46.

A better kick or two and we would be enjoying a win.
For what it is worth, the calls to make radical changes and things are failing need to heed the huge changes we have made as a club. The only things an executive (read head coach) can do to effect change is change budgets or people. We have a salary cap so the first is out. And on the second we have made massive changes. Any workplace that has had the percentage of staff turnover we gave had is going to find the going tough for a while.
The club is now settling its playing list. Our footy this year has been better. We arn't scoring much, but nor are most teams. We have been in games and have not been blown away. I want to see a win, but I'm certain the coach and players want it the most.

Yes, I agree, but that's too sensible for most. It's usually something like :
- knee jerk
- pitch forks
- media pressure
- sack coach

Agreed. We have to keep playing him.

Had another look at the final minutes. WTF was Gov thinking when he dropped back to help? Why wasnt he on the goal line? If he was, he marks the snap for goal and we win. Its a game of inches.

Never seen him play a good game when he is sent back.....just doesnt have the natural defensive instincts.
Wouldnt mind his brother though, he is about the best in the business and maybe Mitch gets credits he doesnt deserve as a defender through his bro's reputation.

Again though, they should train for this stuff - ffs..., we used to at junior level 100 years ago!
