The only thing of note I remember him saying was of Clarkson.

"I didn't realise Clarko had a military background - he was a sniper".

We have to pay that.

I heard Lyon on SEN. To be fair, he said he is excited about Carltons future. What his gripe is all about is that the AFL (The Glock) have said in the past that you must earn the right play on Friday nights. Its pretty obvious that a team that finished 16th hasn't  earned the right for prime time TV yet we are given 4 games on a Friday. Lyon said this seems contradictory.

I have no idea why you think Lyon whinging about the Dees' fixture is even worth a comment.

See MBB's post.

I still see 4 friday nights as a non genuine argument considering one of them is in round 23 and as likely to stay that way as we are to win the premiership.

I've read his post, and I've also read GTC's post. Whatever Lyon's biases, if we start with the premise that the AFL stated these games are meant to merit based, his stance is fair enough.

How many games was it last year that we hit the lead in during the last quarter before eventually being run over?

Isn't that a prescription for some close games, win or lose!

It seems that many in the media want to ignore the comments of several senior coaches who have pegged Carlton to be a team on the rise. I suspect that is not the news the media sooks want to hear!

We were competitive in almost every match.  Only port was one way traffic.  The Swans didn't run us over until the second half, and even just after half time it was still tight.

Defending desperately to cling on and minimise the losing margin is fine, but the lay public will be much more interested in watching a game if they think both teams have a reasonable chance of winning
