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.GTC...We went after Brad Scott as well and got told No as he wanted an AFL admin career and Don Pyke also didnt want it.......
Appreciate Lyon wasnt comfortable having his dirty Freo laundry on display but I think if he had gone through the interview process he would have got close to getting the job but was also happy working in the media and his property company job.
As I said I think Voss was the last choice after we got told No by all the others and were down to candidates like Adam Kingsley and Collingwood had taken McRae..
