Sayers wanted to get candidates to be interviewed, Lyon refused because he didn't want to face the questioning from the women on the panel. Had he agreed to be interviewed, Vossy would have slaughtered Lyon in that regard. I'm not so sure Cook would have been so keen to endorse him either over Voss. Clarko was the man they wanted but his heart wasn't in it. In hindsight, I am glad they chose Voss.
However his skillset has proven what we need given he was an aggressive hard midfielder himself and we were a talented list in the making but playing a soft bruise free brand. He seems to have learned to leave the recruiting to the experts and has a good team of assistants headed by Hansen and off field he doesnt have to think about much with Cook running a stable administration finally and the Prez after a poor start also learning to leave it to the experts.
Its about building a finals team that can play repeat finals series now and stay in the window imho,
